As we continue to pray for Pope Francis' health, it's important to understand what happens when a Pope passes away. In this Ask a Marian segment, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC, explains the rituals and procedures that govern the transition of the papacy during the interregnum period. Watch to learn more about this sacred process.

Join Fr. Chris Alar for this important talk on the Sacrament of Confession. This is the second part of a two part talk. Part One can be found on our YouTube Channel and linked at the end of this video. Also, he explains about the amazing reference St. Faustina made about Fr. Seraphim Michalenko, MIC.  

In today’s Gospel, we hear how Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them “power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases” (Luke 9:1). Fr. Gabe reminds us that this same mission continues through the bishops, successors of the Apostles, who carry the fullness of the priesthood and share Christ’s authority in the world today. Through them, priests are ordained, the Sacraments are given, and the Church continues Christ’s saving work. Without bishops, there would be no priests, and without priests, there would be no Eucharist.
