This year, Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day fell on the same day, Feb. 14, 2024. They have more in common than you might think. Join Fr. Chris Alar as he explains the opening of the holy season of Lent, a time to think about God and not ourselves.

Have you ever wondered why some people can't seem to stop thinking about their first love, even though decades have passed? Or why certain addictions seem to run in certain families? Or why you just can't heal from that childhood trauma or abuse? Father Chris Alar, MIC, suggests a “soul tie,” or spiritual attachment to another, may be present, and offers solutions. Then hear the story of Andrew Comiskey of Desert Stream Living Waters Ministry, a perfect example of effectively breaking sinful soul ties of the past.

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.
