We often hear the biblical instruction, "Call no man your father,” and many wonder why priests are called fathers. But in the Bible, the concept of fatherhood is not just restricted to God and our earthly Fathers. It is also used as a sign of respect to those with whom we have a special relationship, such as spiritual fathers. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then learn about the beautiful, sacred work of the Frei family who for five generations have been making stained glass for places of Catholic worship.

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 ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET.  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!
