St. Stanislaus: The Padre Pio of Poland

Our Marian Congregation was founded more than 350 years ago in Poland, the first community of religious men in that country and the first ever to bear the title of the Immaculate Conception. And it was all the work of our Founder, St. Stanislaus Papczyński. Father Thaddaeus Lancton, MIC, tells the story of this extraordinary priest and the shining spiritual example that he is to us today. Then hear about the journey of a young man named Will Henry, whose faith and love of the Rosary inspired him to start a remarkable business.

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 EST, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am EST.  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!

Our story starts with a walking stick and a lily.
Father Michael Sopoćko (1888-1975), now beatified by the Church, was the priest-confessor to St. Faustina and, as such, an incredible man of mercy. Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he introduces this great theologian, the principal instrument that Our Lord used to fashion the soul of St. Faustina, and learn how he commissioned the very first Image of Divine Mercy. Then hear how the message of Divine Mercy has brought joy and hope to an autistic boy named Royce Guzman and his family.
Novenas are very powerful prayers because they are an intense and persevering form of prayer. But what makes the Divine Mercy Novena — which is prayed between Good Friday and the Saturday before Divine Mercy Sunday — different from all other Novenas? And why did Jesus give specific groups that He wanted to be brought to Him? Watch this latest episode of Living Divine Mercy as Fr. Chris Alar, MIC and Vinny Flynn discuss this powerful channel of grace.
