Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains: The suffering that we think God is imposing on us is really us doing it to ourselves. Often it isn’t until we are finally brought to our knees that we finally discover our need for God.

Many times as Catholics we are asked, "Where is Confession in the Bible?" Hear Fr. Chris explain where it is in the Bible and why Jesus told us that we need to go to the priest.

Today, December 10th, the Church celebrates the optional memorial of Our Lady of Loreto, commemorating the miraculous Holy House that journeyed from Nazareth to Loreto, Italy. As Pope Francis officially inscribed it into the General Roman Calendar in 2019, this feast reminds us of the profound mystery of the Incarnation and the sanctity of the Holy Family. Tradition tells us that angels transported Mary’s childhood home to protect it during the Crusades.
