What is the importance of Holy Communion? How is it that the Eucharist is the true Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ? Why must we eat His flesh and drink His Blood in Holy Communion to gain eternal life? Fr. Chris Alar explains in this episode of Explaining the Faith.

We all know what happened at Cana but what is the deeper meaning? It is much more than Jesus just turning water into wine. With so much to understand in this one passage, Fr. Chris Alar breaks it down so it is easy to understand and will help you to understand the significance of the role of Mary as intercessor. It is Biblical!

Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC as he discusses the Sacrament of Holy Orders. In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus says, "...call no man your father on earth, for you have one Father, who is in Heaven." (Mt 23:9) So why do we address Catholic priests as "Father?" This teaching is part of Fr. Chris's brand-new book, Understanding the Sacraments: God's Grace Guaranteed —a must-have guide to the spiritual treasures of the Church.
