Our Lady of Walsingham

In 1061, Richeldis, a widow in Little Walsingham in Norfolk, England, prayed to Our Lady asking how she could honor her in some special way. Mary led Richeldis in spirit to Nazareth and showed her the House of the Annunciation, and asked that she build one just like it in Walsingham. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how Walsingham became a major pilgrimage site. Then hear how a personal journey of loss led Kara Palladino to support other mothers experiencing a heartbreaking cross of their own.

Today, Fr. Chris Alar reflects on the true meaning of love through the example of St. Martin of Tours — a man remembered for one simple act of charity. A Roman soldier who divided his cloak to clothe a beggar, St. Martin discovered that in serving the poor, he had served Christ Himself (cf. Mt 25:40). What seems like a small moment reveals an eternal truth: love is not sentiment but sacrifice.
The readings for this homily: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/122125.cfm Father Chris, MIC leads us into the hidden strength and obedience of Saint Joseph—a man whose silence speaks louder than words. While Mary’s fiat is rightly celebrated, salvation history also depended on Joseph’s quiet “yes.” Without it, Jesus would not have had the legal lineage of David, nor the protection and provision of a faithful earthly father.
What does Sacred Scripture say will happen prior to the end of the world and the Second Coming of Christ? How should we prepare for it? Father Chris explains.
