The Dark Night of the Soul

The feeling of spiritual emptiness, of being abandoned by God, is surprisingly a part of spiritual growth. Every Christian on their way to God must pass through their own Dark Night, as St. John of the Cross described and Mother Teresa famously experienced. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then hear Dr. Bryan Thatcher, founder of Eucharistic Apostles of Divine Mercy, share his story. He was lost at one point, but in surrendering to Divine Mercy, he saved his own son, as well as countless lives all over the world.

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!
