Why do we receive ashes? Is Ash Wednesday a holy day of obligation? What are the Church's rules on fasting and abstinence? Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, gives us answers to these and other questions about the holy season of Lent that we are entering into. This episode features a story about St. Luke’s Mission of Mercy in Buffalo, New York, and one of its founders, Amy Betros. This is a shining example of living Divine Mercy through utilizing time, talents, and treasures to do the work of God here on earth.

Fr. Tyler Mentzer explains the life and death of St. Tarcisius a brave Eucharistic martyr.

Fr. Allen Alexander, MIC, explains that if you can't receive both species, there is still infinite grace in either just the Host or just the Precious Blood. They are both fully the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ.
