One figure that strikes fear into the hearts of many Christians is the Antichrist. We know that he will work deceptive miracles and be a leader in the great apostasy spoken of in the Bible, persuasive and powerful while hating all things Christian. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains that we will be given special graces as disciples of Christ to combat this evil. Then revisit the story of Zachary King, once deep in the world of darkness, but now living proof that even the most hardened heart can be redeemed by God’s love.

The threats to the world are many, especially the war in Ukraine and abortion in the United States. Interestingly, and much unknown, is the fact that the full answer to these problems lies at the feet of Our Lady of Guadalupe. In this second talk on Guadalupe, Fr. Chris Alar explains why.

Faith is more than belief—it’s a living trust in God that responds to His grace. As Fr. Chris reminds us, faith is both a gift from God and a free act of the human heart. It’s not just saying we believe—it’s living in a way that proves it.Faith grows when it is practiced. It deepens when we act in love, forgive others, and return to the sacraments, where grace is poured out. As Scripture teaches, “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:26). True faith breathes in obedience, prayer, and mercy.
