Bored at Mass? Not sure what is happening? Fr. Chris Alar walks you through the Mass and explains how every part comes from Scripture. You can't love what you don't understand, so now you can love the Mass by learning the Mass! In this episode, we discuss God’s three greatest acts of mercy and how this relates to the greatest act of worship, the Holy Mass.

Many people have heard the term “rapture” in sermons, books, and movies. This so-called Rapture is often portrayed, especially by Protestants, as a moment when faithful Christians suddenly disappear from earth and are taken up into Heaven, while the rest of the world is left behind to face a time of terrible tribulation.But what does the Bible and the Catholic Church really teach about this? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains.

In today’s homily, Fr. Chris Alar reminds us that prayer is not just something we do—it is who we are called to be. It is the lifeline between our soul and God, the “raising of one’s mind and heart to God” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2559). Prayer is communication, relationship, and covenant. It is how we learn to love the Lord and conform our human will to His divine will.
