Since every single grace comes from prayer, we need to make it part of our busy lives.
Father Chris suggests the four best times for prayer:
- when we wake up,
- at meals,
- when receiving the Sacraments,
- and before we go to sleep.
Father Joe tells how Francisco was a "little contemplative"; he would retreat to the attic of his house to escape the crowds, be quiet, and listen to God.
What are indulgences? Did the Church sell them? Are they Biblical? Fr. Chris Alar explains how this is the most important grace most people never take advantage of.
In the New Testament, St. Paul writes, “We have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God” (Heb 4:14). So, if Jesus is the Great High Priest once and for all, who, then, are Catholic priests? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how Christ established the priesthood, delegating His authority to forgive sins on earth to the Apostles and their successors (bishops and priests) down to the present day, known as Apostolic Succession.
