Really ? You sure the devil didn't give you your eyesight back so that you can sin with your eyes ? Becareful what you think Jesus gave you and what Satan gave you .....Satan is allowed by God to perform certain miracles but they last for some time only ....so just be careful .

I walked away from Catholicism many years ago. I didn't understand soooooo much. I've been confused but decided to find out the truth. EWTN popped up on my phone. The rosary was being recited. The words were reverent and eloquently spoken. I got hooked immediately. Next I watched father Chris. WHAT AN ANSWER TO PRAYER. Thank you father for explaining things in a way that I can accept.

[@MagdalenaIsaiah431]

@@DivineMercy_Official oh Fr. Chris I saw your offer to William and wonder if you guys can help me. I'm a Convert from Protestant too and there's so many new things in Catholicism it makes my head spin. So much I don't know yet, but teaching like this really helps bolster my confidence that the Catholic Church is the Spiritual Home I've always searched for. I'm on the other side of the planet and don't seem to be surrounded by very knowledgeable Priests. THANK GOD for technology that I can still do this "Tele-learning." 😇 Going to look up St. Clare of Assisi in just a minute. I also watched your Video on Plenary Indulgences and thought that was a sensational lesson ❣️ I will try and connect with your Masses and Rosary Prayer maybe not live because of the time difference. Hopefully I can still receive the indulgence if I can't make the Livestream times??? Thank you again and GOD keep blessing you to bless us all over the planet ❣️🙏✝️

[@joantraywick5599]

Fr I have to add this- many years ago, I left the church. I remained Christian in my beliefs and attitude, but no longer attended Mass or rec’d sacraments. The last 5-6 years, I’ve felt a pull back to my faith. Started attending Mass occasionally. I promised my mother before she died, that I would get fully back into the church. I’m not sure how I found your Divine Mercy channel on KZbin, call it Divine intervention, but in an effort and desire to relearn my Catholic faith, I started watching your teaching videos. I’m learning a lot from you, and your enthusiasm you project through your lectures is contagious. I find myself excited about being Catholic for the first time in my life!! I am so grateful and thankful for all you and the other Marian brothers are doing to educate us and help guide us on our stairway to Heaven. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel like my mother may have helped me find a connection with you. Who knows, she may have saved my soul. But I feel like you have helped rescue my soul as well! Please continue to post these videos. I watch them all! I can feel my faith becoming stronger and my soul feels more pure than when I started this journey a few years ago! May God bless you for all you are doing to help us all get to Heaven!! 🙏❤️

I have been a catholic non-believer, although i was baptized as a catholic, until i have watched a few of your posted videos in KZbin, now i an begining to repent my skipticsm as a Christian, i now openly admit that i am a poor sinner and i now understand the role of the Blessed Mary as the Mother of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the importance of all the Saints in the Catholic religion. Pray that God forgive all my skipticsm and doubts about religion in general due to my science agnostic, atheistic inclination in interpreting the bible mainly due to the theory of evolution and the big bang hypothesis. Now i will watch all your posted videos and will begin to practice as a true Catholic Christian and hope to fully reintegrate before i die.

I have numerous favorite Saints growing up, but had a deep and strong devotion to St. Pio of Pietrelcina, and of course, my heavenly mother, Mama Mary. Came to realize that my devotions to Padre Pio and Mama Mary led me one day to visiting them in San Giovanni Rotondo, and Lourdes respectively. And in my previous comment on St Joseph, I was also able to visit the Church dedicated for him in Singapore. A recurring devotion to St. Cajetan also came timely when I was looking for a job (I found a new one after couple of months! Praise and thank you, Jesus!) Just as the Saints were faithful to Jesus, so will they be to us when we implore their intercession! Thank God for the Holy Saints!

This video inspired me to find my patron saint. I never really had a connection with anyone other than the Blessed Mother with my middle name being Mary. I don’t have a birthday with a saints feast day that is known. That being said I prayed to the Holy Spirit and with my first name being Catherine- all of the sudden St Catherine of Siena popped into my head. She was ridiculed for her piety and I feel I have to practice my faith in a way so I am not ridiculed either. Then St Bernadette also came to mind. I love watching about her life and I have always enjoyed visiting a grotto dedicated to her. I also make sure I always have holy water from Lourdes as I am always seeking physical healing from a manageable neurological condition. I wanted to share this because I never was able to see the Holy Spirit working and with today being Holy Trinity Sunday and just coming off of Pentecost- this whole week I have seen the power of the Holy Spirit and for once I have found peace from my norm of being an anxious person.

Shared on my Facebook page.. thank you so much, Fr Alar for doing this. Having grown up Mormon, drifting away from the church, then coming to God' true church last August, I was not aware I could pray to a Saint for aid. Sharing for those in aid.

Thank you Father Chris for your message on the Saints. As a Non-Catholic, I was confused about whether we could only have one patron saint or more than one. I definitely think that Padre Pio is currently my main patron saint, because I have felt his presence numerous times. But I also have felt a connection to St Anthony of Padua and St Faustina. I learned to pray the Rosary with a Catholic family, whose elderly father and husband was on hospice before he died. (I was a CNA). His family invited me to pray the Rosary and also the chaplet of Divine Mercy with them. His wife gave me a booklet on St Anthony and eventually I prayed the chaplet of St.. Anthony for a little while at the time. But even before I bought my St Anthony chaplet, I prayed to him one night lying in my bed. I have flat feet, and my left foot was hurting. But in my mind I could see something or someone stirring (or awakening) (hard to describe). But the pain in my left foot stopped hurting. Amazing. The LORD heard my prayer. I have also felt the presence of St Faustina a few times. I bought a copy of her diary from the Marian Fathers. Just haven't read it yet. Last year I sent you my Angels "poem". Hope you received it. Someone like you is probably overwhelmed by people and letters (because you seem like a good father), so maybe you don't remember. I like you Father Chris Alar, because you are a Teacher Preacher. I have learned so much from you. If I lived near you I would become Catholic, and I would want you to be my father. God bless you Father Chris. Be safe in this winter storm. (From PA).
