First Saturdays Devotion

It is God's will for you to be a part of His mission to bring the Kingdom of Heaven to earth. To accomplish this mission, God has given you personally two great spiritual weapons of our times: Mary and Jesus, the Divine Mercy. Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he shares how God’s manifested mercy in the Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Immaculate Heart of Mary are our only way out of the mess the world is in today. Then join Fr. Chris in conversation with the Zannetti brothers, Gene and Fr. Gregory, on the importance of the First Saturday devotion and the message of Our Lady of Fatima to our world today.

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 EST, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am EST.  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!

Fr. Chris Alar has spoken on the different sacraments many times on Saturday talks, homilies, missions, etc. He has explained why the Sacraments are so important (necessary for salvation) and what makes the Catholic Church different from all others. However, these talks are scattered all over the internet. Now, he has put them all together in one place, summarized better than ever before. Find the answers to questions such as Why do we baptize infants? Where is Confession in the Bible? Is your marriage valid? and many more!
Few saints have changed the world in the modern age more than St. Teresa of Calcutta, affectionally known as Mother Teresa. In honor of her feast day on Sept. 5, Fr. Andy Davy, MIC, shares Mother’s works of mercy, her love for helping the poorest of the poor, and her beautiful spirituality. Then hear the amazing story of a Brazilian man whose miraculous healing led to Mother Teresa’s canonization.
Faith is more than belief—it’s a living trust in God that responds to His grace. As Fr. Chris reminds us, faith is both a gift from God and a free act of the human heart. It’s not just saying we believe—it’s living in a way that proves it.Faith grows when it is practiced. It deepens when we act in love, forgive others, and return to the sacraments, where grace is poured out. As Scripture teaches, “Faith without works is dead” (James 2:26). True faith breathes in obedience, prayer, and mercy.
