At Christmas time, we often think of gifts, both giving and receiving, but what we need to do is keep our minds focused and hearts focused on the most important gifts: the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he reveals these gifts and also explains the Fruits of the Holy Spirit and what they are. Then enjoy a visit with actor Kevin Sorbo. You may know him as Hercules, but now he uses his God-given talents to act in and produce faith-based films, giving the gift of Christ to 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 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!
Jesus gave us five new channels of grace to awaken the world to the devotion to Divine Mercy. Father Chris Alar, MIC, defines them as F.I.N.C.H.: the Divine Mercy Feast, Image, Novena, Chaplet, and Hour.
Few people in history have had more impact on Christianity than the father of the Protestant Reformation, Martin Luther, who started out as a Catholic priest.
The Image of Divine Mercy is one of the three greatest images in the history of Sacred Art (along with the Shroud of Turin and Our Lady of Guadalupe). So what makes this icon so important? Why did Jesus say He wants it in every home and why did he offer so many promises to those who do? What is the theology behind it? In addition, there are several versions of the Divine Mercy Image. Which version has the most graces? Once again this week, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC and Vinny Flynn discuss the elements of the Divine Mercy devotion and specifically, the Image of Divine Mercy. Learn more about how the veneration of this Image can help bring about abundant graces.
