Jesus said, “Do not think that I have come to bring peace on earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword” (Mt 10:34). Many hear these words and recoil — how could the Prince of Peace bring division? Yet, as Fr. Chris Alar explains in today’s Daily Homily, this “sword” is the truth that cuts through the lies we cling to. It divides not because Christ desires conflict, but because truth exposes falsehood.

Hear things about the Annunciation that you have never heard before and why it was the most important day in human history. Hear Fr. Chris Alar explain what we need to know about this solemnity. Includes answering such questions as is Christmas a pagan holiday? Is the Hail Mary Biblical? Do we worship Mary? and the difference between Mary and Zechariah.

Fr. Allen Alexander, MIC, explains that if you can't receive both species, there is still infinite grace in either just the Host or just the Precious Blood. They are both fully the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Christ.
