Novenas are very powerful prayers because they are an intense and persevering form of prayer. But what makes the Divine Mercy Novena — which is prayed between Good Friday and the Saturday before Divine Mercy Sunday — different from all other Novenas? And why did Jesus give specific groups that He wanted to be brought to Him? Watch this latest episode of Living Divine Mercy as Fr. Chris Alar, MIC and Vinny Flynn discuss this powerful channel of grace.

The story of Noah’s Ark employs a great deal of figurative language to express an absolute truth about God and our relationship with him. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains what we can learn from the true story of Noah and the great flood and how the Ark prefigures the Church.  

Fr. Chris Alar explains how we got the traditions of the Christmas tree, candles in windows, tinsel, the 12 days of Christmas, and more.
