Freemasonry
If there’s one topic today that causes much confusion even among faithful Catholics, it’s Freemasonry. Why does the Catholic Church forbid membership in Freemasonry and officially declare, “The faithful who enroll in Masonic associations are in a state of grave sin and may not receive Holy Communion”? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.
Then hear the story of Divine Mercy Farm and Matthew Nickel, who has strived to live and cultivate an authentic Catholic life for his family by caring for the poor, being passionate about the natural world, and trusting in Divine Mercy.

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.
What do we mean by "Divine Mercy"? How does God seek to help His creatures overcome their miseries? How do we receive the graces of Divine Mercy Sunday? Father Chris explains.
Hear Fr. Matthew Tomeny, MIC, read from Blessed Michael Sopoćko's article "The Feast of the Most Merciful Savior", arguing why the Feast of the Divine Mercy should be instituted and why Low Sunday (the Sunday after Easter) is the most suitable day for this feast. This article was originally published in Polish in 1947, and translated and published in English in 1952 by the Marians Fathers in Stockbridge, MA. (Nihil Obstat: Rt. Rev. Msgr. Grupa and Imprimatur: Edward Cardinal Mooney; Detroit, MI, 1951)
