Ash Wednesday & St. Valentine - Living Divine Mercy TV Show (EWTN) Ep. 127 with Fr. Chris Alar, MIC

This year, Ash Wednesday and Valentine’s Day fell on the same day, February 14, 2024. They have more in common than you might think. Join Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, as he explains the opening of the holy season of Lent, a time to think about God and not ourselves - similar to how we think about our Valentines and not ourselves. Then hear a great story about Camp Veritas, where teenagers learn to grow in virtue thanks to the message of Divine Mercy.
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!

Thank you Father , the message of Lent seems to be moving along at God's Time . Keep in prayer and it's always beautiful to see the birds flying, new ones, each year, isn't it? Especially the red ones.

Thank you, Father Chris, for a very informative series. I sometimes miss the Wednesday airing but thanks to the posting on the following day, I get the chance to view the previous show. I love these and truly try not to miss any. 🙏❤️‍🔥👍🙏

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Yes thank you for watching with us

[@alwaysmisskaryn]

Thank you Fr Chris for a great show. Camp Veritas is such a great example of a program for youth. I was especially pleased to see they have a location in Ireland because from your visits there, we have learned that the young population is troubled and in need of positive adults and experiences in their lives. I actually googled the camp and sent the information to a Massachusetts friend who is doing great work with the teens in his local parish. This is now available on KZbin, so I will share this episode with him as well. God bless you Father Chris and your incredible staff, for bringing us such a great variety of information in the Living Divine Mercy Shows. I am praying for you to have a beautiful and fruitful and holy Lenten season. I genuinely appreciate all of the spiritual nourishment the MARIANS are providing during Lent: daily Mass at 9; Live Divine Mercy chaplet at three with Father Mark; Lenten Journey with Father Anthony.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you so much Karyn we always appreciate your support God bless you!

Father Chris Alar thank you for your insight and inspiration in details for Ash Wednesday & St. Valentine - Living Divine Mercy TV Show (EWTN) Ep. 127

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you and God bless you

[@MarthaMyDear6]

I have alarm set for Wednesday evening show, but sometimes miss it due to work. Glad to see I can catch it later! ❤️🙏📿😊

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you for watching with us and God bless you

[@AshlynDecorges]

I went to the Veritas Camp (Champion) It was one of the best times of my life. Its a great place to make friends and to feel closer to God. I definitely felt closer to God. The songs are amazing and the atmosphere is incredible. Parents send your kids to this camp!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Awesome

[@stephenr3910]

It looks good for kids who are athletic or lean toward sports. I was never one myself. The speaker at the talk was delivering a message that is probably foreign to young people but good they are hearing it.

What do you do with the ash on your forehead? It’s a blessed ash.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

It can be wiped away. It is not a Physical object

[@annsangkharat9113]

[@carmenvelasquez8878]

Father Alar, why can’t we keep the ashes on when we are working etc…. ? I thought it was good to leave the ashes on so other Christian’s and especially the ones that have forgotten their faith, the ones that are lost and the nonbeliever are reminded of Lent by seeing the ashes on our forehead. Peace ☮️

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you but we didn't say that you had to take them off for work. We said that if you are going out to a concert or something like shopping that it would be better to wash them off

[@WhiteWolfSpirit]

Where has father Chris been since this? I thought he uploaded more regularly? I pray he is alright. Persecution happwning all over and too many seem to be just being replaces withiur explanation.....

[@filaovcharka]

Shouldn’t we not wash off our ashes ?

[@DivineMercy_Official]

You can keep them on but if you're doing something very secular like going to a rock concert it is suggested they are washed off

[@anne-mariebiorci5453]

Why is Ash Wednesday no longer a day of holy obligation please?🇦🇺🦘🐨

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you but it never was
