In this episode, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, discusses the requests made by Our Lady at Fatima that, if followed by us, would ward off chastisements and lead to the Triumph of her Immaculate Heart. Among these were to pray the Rosary daily for peace, and also to observe First Saturdays to make reparation for the blasphemies committed against her. Fr. Chris explains why this is one of the "Big 4" of all Catholic devotions.
Fr. Matthew Tomeny reminds us of one of the most urgent and essential truths Christ ever proclaimed: “If you do not repent, you will all perish” (Luke 13:3). The very first word of Jesus’ public ministry was repent—metanoia in Greek—meaning a complete change of mind and heart. True repentance is not a one-time act but a lifelong transformation. It is the continual turning of the soul toward God, the daily dying to self so that Christ may live in us.
