The Gospel of Luke is called the Gospel of Mercy, and today’s passage reveals why. When Jesus healed the bent woman on the Sabbath, He showed that mercy never rests. The Lord of the Sabbath Himself chose compassion over rigidity, revealing that the purpose of God’s law is not to bind, but to free.

In Christian tradition, the Trinity was often depicted as placing a crown on Mary's head. This is why the Catholic Church celebrates the Memorial of the Queenship, or Coronation, of the Blessed Virgin Mary on Aug. 22. Father Chris Alar, MIC, reveals the biblical foundations for the feast for the Queen of Heaven and Earth. Then hear from Fr. Roger Landry and his group on their remarkable walking pilgrimage to the recent National Eucharistic Congress in Indianapolis, Indiana.

Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he helps answer the important question of whether there is salvation outside of the Catholic Church.
