Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, reminds us of a sobering truth: death is not the end — it’s the moment the Master comes for us. In today’s readings, we hear both the cause and the cure for death. Through one man, sin entered the world, and through sin, death. But through Christ, the new Adam, we are given the remedy: to be ready, vigilant, and in a state of grace when He comes.

Chris Alar, MIC, shares the answers to these and other questions about the founding of our great nation. In addition, he interviews Bishop Joseph L. Coffey, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese for Military Services about the great need for Catholic chaplains to provide the Sacraments to the brave men and women who protect our freedom by giving their lives to military service.
