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.

Saint Joseph, faithful guardian of the Holy Family; model of virtue, obedience and strength; and a man of profound faith and unwavering trust in the Lord's plan, is also known by a remarkable title: “Terror of Demons.” Father Donald Calloway, MIC, explains how this reminds us of St. Joseph’s powerful intercession and his role as a spiritual warrior who protects us from evil and leads us closer to Jesus and Mary. Then hear the story of Fr. Richard Conlin, whose early years found him more devoted to his golf game than the Church.

The Catholic Church teaches that when someone takes their own life, it doesn’t mean that they automatically lose their soul. Father Chris Alar, MIC, takes this a step further and shows how your prayers today can help someone who has died for any reason, even years ago, at the moment of their judgment. Then be inspired by the testimony of a mother who lost her beloved son to suicide, and how, even in the midst of darkness and despair, she found hope and healing in God's loving mercy.
