Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains the Catholic teaching concerning our devotion to the saints — those who, through their union with God and by the grace of Christ, have been rewarded with eternal life.
What does the Church teach about Mary Magdalene? Was she really a prostitute? If so, doesn't that degrade women? Wouldn't Jesus first have appeared to His own mother?
Jesus said, “Where two or three gather together in my name, there I am in their midst.” The Mass is the only perfect form of prayer because only at the Mass are our prayers, which are stained with sin, united to the perfect prayers of Jesus to the Father. Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, for this first of three episodes as he walks us through the different parts of the Catholic Mass, learning why we say what we say and do what we do.
