The Church teaches that the Blessed Virgin Mary, upon her death, was assumed into Heaven by the power of God. But how do we explain the Assumption, if we can’t find direct evidence of it in the Bible? Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he reveals how Scripture, Sacred Apostolic Tradition, and the Magisterium guide us Catholics in our way of life. Then be inspired by the story of the Dominican Sisters of Hawthorne, New Jersey, whose “Nightwatch” ministry is a lifeline to the elderly and infirmed.

In this episode, Fr. Chris Alar presents our itinerary, covering Bethlehem, Nazareth, Mount Tabor, the Sea of Galilee, and Jerusalem. Alongside Jacoub Khaled, CEO of Nativity Pilgrimage, and top Christian guides living in the Holy Land, we explore the locations where Gospel events took place, using cultural, archaeological, and historical evidence to guide our footsteps. This series is made for everyone, from the confident believer to the curious skeptic, offering a basic yet profound understanding of the mystery of His divine and human natures as the Messiah and Son of God.
