Who is the Antichrist?

One figure that strikes fear into the hearts of many Christians is the Antichrist. We know that he will work deceptive miracles and be a leader in the great apostasy spoken of in the Bible, persuasive and powerful while hating all things Christian. Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains that we will be given special graces as disciples of Christ to combat this evil. Then revisit the story of Zachary King, once deep in the world of darkness, but now living proof that even the most hardened heart can be redeemed by God’s love.

More on the Priesthood

In the New Testament, St. Paul writes, “We have a great high priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus, the Son of God” (Heb 4:14). So, if Jesus is the Great High Priest once and for all, who, then, are Catholic priests? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains how Christ established the priesthood, delegating His authority to forgive sins on earth to the Apostles and their successors (bishops and priests) down to the present day, known as Apostolic Succession. Then hear the story of Br. Gabriel, a Franciscan Friar who puts his faith and ministry on wheels – literally!
