[@donnalindberg7192]

Fr. Chris, The Marians and these different programs have made my prayer life richer and so very satisfying because I couldn't find the words for my gratitude to the Most Holy Trinity. I have lived with suffering for years and the only way it is bearable and even something for which to be grateful is knowing that Jesus is there helping me carry my small load and that through our Blessed Mother Mary any offering I make is improved by her loving hands and delivered to her Son. This new series is truly a work of God and I am so very grateful for it and for all the work of the Marians. God bless you richly. Donna

About 12 years ago I heard about st Faustina and the divine mercy. Then I looked in library's for her diary.They didn't have it yet.So one day the church I go to had the lights on .It was a Tuesday night.I went in just to visit our Lord. To my surprise and amazement there was a small group of people praying the divine mercy.Well , today I belong to that group and have brought in friends with me.Saddly we could no longer have our time in church together but nothing ended.We ❤love the divine mercy .Praying together for all the world.

[@ofeliacaballero5857]

It’s not easy at all when alone in our suffering specially when there’s no one to turn too. In my own experience, suffering from the tongues of detractors are more painful than my physical ailments specially when your trust is betrayed. If not of my daily communication with Jesus by praying to His divine mercy and Mother Mary’s help by meditating the sacred mysteries of the holy rosary daily, I would have been so miserable in this world. My deep faith and trust in Jesus saved me, fully happy and grateful because at the same time, in the silence of my heart, I prayed for the conversion of my detractors that changed them to be more prayerful. Fr. Chris, my heartfelt thanks for this episode on suffering, it gives me an opportunity to share my experience too. Anchored on the Divine Mercy, we have no more fear on what would come next. God bless us all.

I look at the question this way also: Adam and Eve’s disobedience provided a way for evil to enter the world. It’s like like the pottery barn rule: you broke it, you bought it. The fact that God uses this suffering to purify our souls, shows us His mercy.

Thank you Fr Chris for an awesome explanation of “living divine mercy.”

I understand that God gives us free will when Evil happens, it’s when natural disasters and illness happens I don’t understand the suffering of good people and small children, this talk helped me somewhat.

Because sin doesn't affect just us... it creates disharmony in God's entire universe. That is why it is so dangerous. We are united by the Body of Christ, so every act of virtue, in an opposite but good way, helps others.

I often ask myself this question. Why does God allow suffering? I guess the answer to that question is that none of us human beings are perfect. Like a couple of weeks ago, I received a letter saying that I borrowed a financial loan which I never did at all. So once I got the letter, I notified my mom. So now my mom & I are trying to get this identity theft situation resolved immediately and permanently and in the hopes that I won’t go through this mess again. Now what I can do to get this resolved permanently? 1. Report it to the police. 2. Contact the attorney general of CT. 3. Pray the Divine Mercy devotion daily at 3:00 🕒 pm. 4. Pray the daily rosary. 5. Ask any Saint to intercede. Like Saint Therese of Lisieux and Saint Padre Pio.

[@rubipurcell4540]

Fr. Alar, really appreciate all the work you and your fellow Marians are doing to open our lives to the many graces and gifts of Christ Jesus that the Catholic faith.embodies. The Eucharist is the most precious gift offered by Jesus to the Apostles, and they to carry on in memory of him and his suffering. Amazing we continue to unite with Christ’s sufferings from the last supper to this day …

Sending Love and prayers to them .Father Chris, thank you first and foremost for allowing God to work through you.. I have learned so much from you .. This topic is tough .. I feel like I haven’t stopped suffering in one way or another for yrs .. Sometimes I’ve wondered if it was because somehow I was being given the grace of Purgatory while Im still here .. I keep asking if Im done yet or at least for awhile lol

Suffering is a means of saving souls who are dying and those in purgatory. I've noticed that when I offer up my pains in atonement for my sins and for the souls in purgatory, my pains and suffering are bearable or they just vanish. It's as though Jesus Christ took them away and my slate is wiped spotlessly clean. I then feel a peace that's absolutely heavenly. Thank you very much Heavenly Father for giving us Your beloved Son and sending the Holy Spirit to be our guide, light and strength.

[@Eternity0815]

I had not believed in Purgatory for a long time until my mother mentioned "purgatory" when she appeared in a dream. She had refused even the word 'Jesus' and insisted on it. But, near her death she accepted to become Catholic in order to be rested next her husband(my father) who was buried in a Catholic emetery. So, my mother had no idea about who Jesus is or what her religion was. When my mother appeared for a seconds, I was just about calling, "Mother!" but she said,"I am in Purgatory." and then disappeared. She was so weak and in so much pain, no one could preach anything about even Jesus. She deserves heaven for her sacrifices for others, but I am not the Judge. So, 99.98% what Catholic teaches is right based on my experiences. I hope church is more focused on teaching on Living God.

[@joolz5747]

Father Chris.... there is something that has been bothering me for a long time but I never brought it up to my priests or to anyone.... but I can no longer hold back what I feel deep in my heart! It is this.... I truly believe that Saint faustina was a very holy woman and indeed a saint and I believe that her diary and everything that she recorded was truly from the Holy Spirit including the Divine Mercy Chaplet which I do say but I find it almost impossible to believe that Jesus spoke to her over and over again and appeared to her! There were so many great Saints including Saint Therese the Little Flower and st. John of the cross, st. Francis of Assisi and on and on yet none of them professed to have seen Jesus and that he spoke to them virtually in person! I believe that you were putting far too much emphasis on saint faustina as though she was the greatest thing that ever lived! And now from what I hear you're including her diary with the Bible which reminds me of the Muslims who include other books besides the Koran and I am very uncomfortable about that. Let's be honest here father we have no idea if Jesus actually did appear to her and speak to her day in and day out! We have no proof of that! But as I said I do believe that she was immensely inspired by the Holy Spirit and indeed her diary and all that the Holy Spirit told her to write down really helps us!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you Suzanna, but what you say shows you don't understand the Catholic Church's authority given by Christ to discern dogmatic revelation and to establish doctrine. By the Church canonizing St. Faustina based on her writings that Jesus did appear to her (which he chose her over others to be His Apostle of Divine Mercy) the Church is declaring it "truth." Perhaps you can read up on the Church approval process, which is discerned and quite extensive, all under the guidance of the Holy Spirit. That is what Christ established the Church in the first place, to lead us in the truth and protect us from what is not. In this case, the Church has spoken. And no offense, that is what we are to follow, not our own "opinions." God bless.
