Our Lady of the Rosary
Have you ever heard of the Justice League? No, not the gathering of superheroes that was a fixture of Saturday morning cartoons. Nearly 500 years ago there was a real “Holy League” of three Catholic powers: Genoa, Spain, and the Papal States, who formed an alliance to defend Christian civilization in Europe against a Turkish invasion. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how the Rosary played a pivotal role and the establishment of the feast on Oct. 7. Then hear the story of Armando Flores, whose commitment to praying the Rosary daily gave him the faith and strength to persevere despite multiple tragedies.
Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Wednesday at 6:30 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET. 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!

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.

Which version has the most graces? Once again this week, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC and Vinny Flynn discuss the elements of the Divine Mercy devotion and specifically, the Image of Divine Mercy.
