Father Anthony Gramlich, MIC, gives us insight as to why Catholic priests wear rose-colored vestments on the Third Sunday of Advent, also known as Gaudete Sunday.

What makes the Catholic Church different from all other religions of the world is the Sacraments. Baptism impresses the Christian character in the soul, allowing the other sacraments. Baptism is necessary for salvation for all those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed. Fr. Chris Alar explains why this is so, mainly because it confers the first sanctifying grace and the supernatural virtues of faith, hope, and charity. Also, he explains why baptizing infants is actually in the Bible and is something that was done by Christians since the very beginning of the Church.

We are saved only by God's grace, but we need to cooperate with that grace if we want to get to Heaven. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how we can do this.
