The Church has always taught that in order to grow in the spiritual life, we need a good spiritual director. Saint Francis de Sales (1567-1622), Bishop and Doctor of the Church (feast day: Jan. 24), is best known for his writings and compassionate approach to spiritual direction and guidance. Father Chris Alar, MIC reveals what this holy man can teach us today. Then hear the story of Michael Ortner, a successful businessman who built an innovative model for Catholic education.
Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Wednesday at 6:30 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET. Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!
At Christmas time, we often think of gifts, both giving and receiving, but what we need to do is keep our minds focused and hearts focused on the most important gifts: the Gifts of the Holy Spirit. Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he reveals these gifts and also explains the Fruits of the Holy Spirit and what they are. Then enjoy a visit with actor Kevin Sorbo. You may know him as Hercules, but now he uses his God-given talents to act in and produce faith-based films, giving the gift of Christ to the world.
The main reason people don't attend Mass or are not focused during the Liturgy is because they don't fully understand what is taking place.
