The loss of a loves one (suicide or any cause of death) is perhaps the most difficult of all topics to talk about. Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, shares, based on personal and pastoral experience, a fact we know to be true: Even in the midst of such darkness, God’s mercy is present. There is hope for the soul of the departed and there is hope for those left behind. Watch Fr. Chris Alar and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of Divine Mercy on our new show Living Divine Mercy airing every Wednesday at 6:30 p.m. ET on EWTN. 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!
It is said that the Rosary is not biblical but rather vain repetitious prayer that is idolatry. Hear Fr.
Fr. Chris Alar continues his "Explaining the Faith" Series as he takes you back to seminary with him and joins you on live chat for this premier video of "Catholicism 101" from one of his parish missions.
Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains: The suffering that we think God is imposing on us is really us doing it to ourselves. Often it isn’t until we are finally brought to our knees that we finally discover our need for God.
