Fr. Chris Alar summarizes the stories of Our Lady of Knock and Our Lady of Pontmain, two extremely important, but lesser known Marian apparitions, which occurred in France and Ireland. Being incredibly important countries to the Faith, we need to listen to Mary's message from Heaven regarding these visions.
Hear Fr. Chris Alar's important message concerning his weekly Explaining the Faith talks, and First Saturday events.
Like Moses, Jesus ascended on a mountain to bring a rule for living to the people. He showed them how to find permanent bliss that nothing can take away: not sickness, not poverty, nor persecution. These are the Beatitudes, and Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, explains their meaning and application in our daily lives. Then pay a visit to the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Wisconsin, a special place where Mary appeared and the Beatitudes came alive.
Father Chris explains how private revelation to the three children in Fatima compares to the experience of St. Faustina, especially the ongoing importance of First Saturday devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary.
