Join us as Fr. Chris Alar explains how Advent is a penitential season like Lent, as we prepare ourselves for the three comings of Christ: the Incarnation, the Second Coming, and the coming of Jesus into our hearts through the Eucharist.

In the Catholic Church, there are two primary forms of the Roman Rite Liturgy: the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), codified after the Council of Trent in 1570, and the Novus Ordo Mass, promulgated in 1969 after the Second Vatican Council. The latter is the most common form, while the former is often the subject of confusion and controversy. Father Chris Alar, MIC, compares and contrasts the main points of both forms to help you better understand the beauty of each.

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!
