Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, explains why St. Stanislaus Papczyński is such an important saint.

Hear Fr. Mark Baron continue his explanation of the miraculous Shroud of Turin and the amazing "spiritual" connection to the Image of Divine Mercy. So much is contained in both images that God gave them both at this time in history... but why? Please join us.

Fr. Mark reminds us that Advent is not Christmas—it is a penitential season meant to awaken our souls, sharpen our spiritual vision, and prepare us to stand before the Lord. Across the 24 Churches that make up the Catholic Church, Advent (or its equivalent) is lived with deep seriousness: 40-day fasts, vegan disciplines, weeks of total abstinence, and long seasons of preparation. Their witness challenges us in the Roman Rite to rediscover what this season truly is: a call to repentance, renewal, and readiness.
