Praying to Dead Saints? All Saints' Day
Praying to Dead Saints? All Saints' Day
The practice of praying to the saints for intercession is as old as Christianity. So why is it so misunderstood? Can the saints hear us? Aren't they dead? Doesn't this take away honor from God? Do we worship them? Fr. Chris Alar answers all this and more!

All of us have heard the term “woke.” According to the Oxford English Dictionary, woke originally meant “well-informed” or “up to date,” but now chiefly alerts us to racial or social discrimination and injustice. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explores the true meaning of “woke” and whether the Church rejects it or embraces it under the realm of Catholic social teaching. Then hear the story of Joe Kennedy, a high-school football coach who, because of wokeism, was fired for praying with his players. His case ended up going all the way to the U.S.
Each week, Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, examines in-depth an essential element of faith and morals that Catholics are called to proclaim, live, and celebrate.
