Welcome to a new podcast, "Divine Mercy Calls to Our Hearts," hosted by Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, and acclaimed author Donna-Marie Cooper O'Boyle.

What does it mean to be "born again"? Father Mark Baron, MIC, teaches us how our soul becomes transformed and infused with God's grace when receiving the Sacrament of Baptism.

On this great solemnity, Fr. Chris reflects on the mystery at the heart of the Marian Fathers’ charism: the Immaculate Conception—God’s greatest act of mercy ever given to a creature. Despite the grief of losing his father just days earlier, he reminds us that Our Lady’s purity is the blueprint for our own path to holiness. Long before the dogma was defined in 1854, the Church cherished this truth in Scripture and Sacred Tradition, seen in Gabriel’s greeting, “Hail, full of grace,” revealing Mary as wholly transformed by divine life.
