In Greek the word “martyr” means “witness,” but to what is a martyr witnessing? The martyr chooses to give witness to the reality of the good of God over the good of his own life. But is the shedding of blood what God really wants? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then meet Gene Zanetti and his apostolate called Spiritual Strength, which uses sports as a metaphor and platform to instill Catholic virtue.

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 Thursday at 10 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!
