Join us for a special Saturday "Explaining the Faith" series on "Finding Healing in Your Life."On Saturday, June 22, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC will be speaking on "Healing the Family Tree."

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.

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.
