You're invited to join us for the first day of the Solemn Novena of the Chaplet of Divine Mercy, followed by our Good Friday Tenebrae Service, live from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, MA, USA. The Novena begins at 7:00 PM EST, immediately followed by the Tenebrae Service.

Why is there no Mass on Good Friday? Why did the Romans break the legs of those crucified on the Cross? Can we say God died on the Cross? When exactly did Jesus resurrect? Jesus descended into hell. Why, if nobody can be released from hell?  Fr. Chris Alar answers these questions about the Triduum and many more.

The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/021826.cfm The world has its “small-g gods”: sex, money, and power. In this powerful Lenten homily, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC explains how the consecrated religious counter them through poverty, chastity, and obedience—but what about the laity? The answer is the Church’s timeless Lenten call: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving.
