Regarding the new document from the Vatican (Fiducia Supplicans) on blessing same-sex couples, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, explains its real meaning and what you need to know to adhere to the tradition and teaching of the Catholic Church.
In Christian tradition, the Trinity was often depicted as placing a crown on Mary's head.
What is Mary's role in salvation history? Why do Catholics honor her? Why do we turn to her intercession? Father Chris explains Fr. Chris explains how Mary is The Gift of Mercy .
Catholicism teaches that we are only saved through God’s grace, but we must cooperate with that grace by living as “another Christ.” That means doing good – and a great way is through the Corporal Works of Mercy. Father Chris Alar, MIC, reveals the seven works of mercy in Scripture and shows how we can perform these in our daily lives. Then be inspired by the example of the National Catholic Partnership on Disability and its outreach to those in need.
