I grew up Mormon/ LDS, have been exploring Catholicism for a while, and this has been one of the most eye opening explanations of the trinity that I have ever heard. I believe that Jesus was fully man and fully God but I did not understand how it was so. Thank you for taking the time to share this. I am subscribed. God bless!

Thank you, Fr Chris, for taking us back to seminary! I've learned more about the Catholic faith watching your wonderful presentations than I did in 16 years of Catholic education (grammar/high school and college). I have shared your talks with my brother who became Lutheran years ago when he married and he is opening his eyes as well. God Bless you and the Marian fathers for staying so true to our faith and helping all of us to grow closer to our Savior, Mother Mary, God our Father and the Holy Spirit.

[@alwaysmisskaryn]

You are so correct I also attended Catholic elementary, high school, and college total of 16 years and have learned so much more these past few months from these informative and inspiring lessons. Father Chris is a gift to all who desire to learn about the fullness and wonder of our precious Catholic faith. Merry Christmas to you and yours.

You're absolutely amazing Rev Fr Chris Alar. You've opened my mind and heart to the incredible significance of The Incarnation. Till this day, it just flew over my head. We need to delve into the essence of our Catechism. I can't believe I just accepted whatever the sisters said in Catechism classes and wouldn't dare question and clarify our doubts. Why were we in so much fear to stand up and say, "I don't understand a thing. Everything is all mixed up in my mind "? God bless Rev Fr Chris who has made the Incarnation a mystery no more.

Father Chris, everyone of your talks is inspiring, but sometimes during a talk I have to stop it so I can digest the information, think about it and then either rewind or resume. Today was one of those days. Thank you for going deeper into the points that you made during last Sunday’s homily. I am attempting to get back to my grade 5 teacher’s lesson of saying a daily Angelus to keep the miracle of the incarnation present in my mind at all times. I always enjoy the references to Pope Benedict XVI, my favorite Pope. I’m leaving in a bit to attend 4:00 pm vigil Mass, to hopefully get a seat where I won’t be distracted. I am happy to know you will be celebrating the 9 AM Mass on the live stream tomorrow morning. Several of the 7 members of the All-Star team have added our names to be remembered at the three Christmas Day Masses along with candle intentions. We are so grateful that we are a blessing to each other. My sons will also be remembered tomorrow. God bless you Father Chris, your family and your Marian brothers.

Fr. Chris, I wanted to share with you what my grandson, Mateo Andres Armijo, told me about what happened in the Garden of Eden and how Adam and Eve fell. He explained that Adam and Eve ate from the "Tree of Smarts" which was his equivalent of the Tree of Knowledge. That was my education into the mind of a five-year-old. After my visit in Connecticut and I returned to my home in Arizona, I told my sister how impressed I was with my grandson. We both laughed.

I came into this world with two forms in one authority, I can be a father and I can also be a mother, that is Jesus and Mary, I do not want Catholics and Protestants to separate into different teachings, I came to unite Catholics and Protestants into one Peotestan and Catholicism must be erased from the face of the earth, with the existence of Protestants and Catholics then there is only difference that always discriminates which causes hatred, discord and war. And there is only Christianity from one Bible and one God. Mother Mary as the mother of Jesus should and should be held in high esteem, Mother Mary deserves to be appreciated as the mother of Jesus Christ, if the Spirit of God does not overshadow Mary then we do not know Jesus, because there is Mary then Jesus also exists, a child cannot be born without a mother, through the Spirit of God inspired Mary as a mediator to bring Jesus to this world as the God we worship for Christians who believe.
