The Baptism of Jesus
On Monday, January 8, 2024, we celebrate an incredibly important feast, the Baptism of Jesus, as described in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Along with the Crucifixion, the Baptism is the event most accepted by scholars as indisputable historical fact. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains what this means for us today. Then hear the story of Fr. Dustin Feddon of Joseph House, who works with prisoners when they're released to get a new start in society.
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 Wednesday at 6:30 pm EST, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am EST. 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!

Guardian Angels
The existence of angels is a dogma of our Catholic faith. And no one knows us better or loves us more than our Guardian Angel (it is perfect love), so you can always count on them. They are the guardians of our safety and salvation, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, explains, and they obtain for us the grace of final perseverance – if we are willing to cooperate with that grace. Then learn the amazing story of U.S. Coast Guard Chaplain Daniel Mode, who in his service to others, acts as a kind of guardian angel.
Are we required to “forgive and forget” as Christians?
Fr. Chris discusses the answer to this question:
what exactly is asked of us from God and what the mercy to be gained (for ourselves and for others) from forgiving is.
From both Scripture and Sacred Tradition, the Church teaches that we must be cleared of any remaining moral debt to God.
