Today's Readings: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/112625.cfm As we reach the final days of the liturgical year, the Church invites us to lift our eyes toward the ultimate realities: Christ’s return, the purification of the world, and God’s unshakeable plan for His people. Fr. Chris reminds us that the Scriptures, the Catechism, and the Church-approved Marian apparitions all speak with one voice: we are already living in the “last hour” (CCC 670), and yet God’s mercy remains our refuge and our hope.

Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, asks the question that every soul must face: Will I be saved? In a world where nearly every funeral assumes heaven, the Scriptures — and the saints — give us a sobering reminder: “Narrow is the road that leads to life, and few find it.” (Mt 7:14)
