Did you ever wonder how Divine Mercy came to be? Divine Mercy as explained by St. Faustina, and spread around the world by our congregation, the Marians of the Immaculate Conception, is a story that began in the early 1940’s. But what makes this story so amazing, even today? Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, in this unique program as he shares the history of the Marians’ participation in the spread of the devotion to The Divine Mercy.
Today, Fr. Chris Alar reflects on the true meaning of love through the example of St. Martin of Tours — a man remembered for one simple act of charity. A Roman soldier who divided his cloak to clothe a beggar, St. Martin discovered that in serving the poor, he had served Christ Himself (cf. Mt 25:40). What seems like a small moment reveals an eternal truth: love is not sentiment but sacrifice.
In this episode in anticipation of All Saints Day on Nov. 1, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and Fr. Dan Cambra, MIC, talk about the saints: who they are and why we venerate them.
