We don't hear much about the four last things: Death, Judgment, Heaven and Hell. Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, in this first of a four-part series as he helps us to understand how to prepare for these things. This episode is about death. Are you afraid of dying? Venerable Fulton Sheen said we’re afraid of dying because we haven’t practiced for it. We also share the incredible story of a woman who experienced the violent death of her young husband and honored him by seeking and living out the message of Divine Mercy and forgiving his killer. Truly an amazing story.
The world is in need of healing and there is only one way to receive it. Fr. Chris explains the importance of Lourdes, World Sick Day, February 11, a strong faith, and the role of Fr. Seraphim.
Fr. Chris Alar addresses the recent doctrinal note Mater Populi Fidelis (“Mother of the Faithful of God”) released by the Dicastery for the Doctrine of the Faith.
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.
