Who was Pope Leo XIII?

Pope Leo XIII, who served the Catholic Church from 1878 to 1903, was one of the most influential popes in history. His papacy was marked by significant accomplishments in theology, diplomacy, and social teaching. But who was Leo XIII, and why did our current Holy Father choose the name Leo XIV? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then hear the story of Mary's Legacy Clinic, where a dedicated team of Catholic healthcare providers brings hope and healing to underserved communities.

Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Thursday at 10 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET.  Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!
