Discerning God's Will in Your Life - Explaining the Faith

For each decision in our life, does God want us to make a specific choice? If so, how do we know what that choice should be? How do we know when we want something if it is our will or God's will? Join Fr. Chris Alar as he explains the importance of spiritual direction and how we can know what God wants us to do and how to find peace in our decisions.

I found Fr Chris Alar & the Divine Mercy channel during Covid & it’s the best thing to come out of that disaster. I’m so thankful that Fr. Chris chose the priesthood. This series has answered so many questions for me & strengthened my faith. I’m Protestant, but I’ve found that Catholicism makes everything about Christianity fit together like a puzzle & makes all the books of the Bible, both old & new, & all the teachings & practices fit together like a glove. It turns all the books of the Bible into the finest, most sophisticated piece of literature even though it was written by different people over thousands of years.

I am now 58 (can't believe where the time went) but around the age of 30 I still hadn't met anyone and was wondering if I was to be single or married. In God's time I met my beautiful wife and was married at 33 and one of my daughters, 21, was married last week, on the Thursday after Easter. Alleluia! As a Christian, all I can help you with is that our loving God has a plan for you and stay close to Him and things will work out.

Wow! I think this talk was written for me!! Fr Chris, this has got to be your best talk ever (or, at a minimum, in the top three). You explained everything so very clearly and your examples brought everything into focus. We must use our God-given intellect to inform our conscience - a step the secular world chooses to ignore. I have to tell you, after finding your talks on KZbin and learning the fullness of my Catholic faith, I am experiencing deep peace, joy, and love like never before. As you said, having right attitude is key. My senior quote in my high school yearbook was “it’s your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude“. Thank you, Father Chris, for your “yes“ to the priesthood. You have touched countless lives through your example and clear teachings. I don’t know where I would be today without you and the Marians. May Almighty God bless and protect you always and may He reward you for always speaking the truth because it’s what we need to hear. 🙏

I drove her to the ER, speeding and running ever light. I dropped her off at the main entrance and went to park the car. As I was going in a police officer was coming out and I stopped him and told him I was driving 30 mph over speed limit and ran every light. He asked if it was emergency and I told him I was bringing my grandson in. The blue baby just dropped off? Yes. No problem, I hope everything goes well. My grandson Christian, had RSV. He is now 21. But if we had been any later in getting him there, he would have died. I ran into that officer once since then. He asked about my grandson and I told him oxygen level was 54 when we got there but we made it in time. He said he started praying for him that night. He was glad prayers were answered.

Father, I curiously clicked on this topic because as I was walking home from mass this morning I was singing Hosanna and enjoying our Lord's creation. Suddenly these words surfaced within me "Fear is outside of the will of the Lord, and any such emotions contrary to the Spirit also." Prior to that I was pondering that I cannot be the same again, this year has been different from all of the others. You see I've fully surrendered myself to God. And nothing can separate from the mission he has given, I must die daily to the will of my flesh and clothe myself in Christ.

Father Chris, you need to write many books. You have so much knowledge and I have learned so much from you as a new Catholic (3 years now, 50 years old) I have your Understanding Divine Mercy book. Love it ❤Keep em coming brother!!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you, did you like the book?

[@siewtohong7138]

Hi Father Chris it’s me again. I just wanted to let you know that I am gaining great insights and guidance through your teachings. I am ever so grateful that the Holy Spirit has directed me to your channel. I am also grateful that you are making your teachings so widely and easily accessible. I used to be one of those “abandoning” the faith because I was afraid I couldn’t live up to God’s expectations. Today having listened to your voice I have finally understood that God is not such a difficult being after all. I am going to read Galatians as you have mentioned. I feel the peace that God bestows on us when I listen to your talks. Praise the Lord for your guidance!!

That is awesome, God bless you for being open to God's grace!

"The Catholic Church is Trigonometry." 😂 That metaphor might've scared some people off, Fr. Chris! 😁 What a hoot!

[@DivineMercy_Official]

I loved math 😇

[@alwaysmisskaryn]

In my opinion, it’s all in the delivery. When the teacher makes sense, we learn, retain and love the information. Father Chris is a brilliant yet down to earth teacher and his enthusiasm for the faith is truly contagious.

[@jamiefaith834]

I’m not catholic but the first vid that popped up for me about 3 weeks ago was the Divine Mercy and Faustina teaching. And since then I have been listening to you. My prayer has been to know God more. I have felt like I hit a the peak in Protestant teaching but knew there was more. Well Catholic teaching is fulfilling the knowledge that I yearned of God. Really explaining the faith. The vastness of God and His mysteries and the soundness in it doctrine. This was a great video I enjoyed it.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you for watching and God bless you

I've received the Holy Spirit many years ago at a Healing Mass. I went down like I took an uppercut from Mike Tyson. But getting the seat of my rear in line with the back of my head with a sense of peace that you can't comprehend is something I'll never forget. That was when my relationship with Jesus really began. It was then I developed a healthy respect for Jesus. On the subject concerning the alphabet soup group, I can only say one thing. If you're so at peace with your preferences, then why must you force me to accept it.

[@JakeWang]

Thank you Father. Several of your video clips saved my life and kept me growing. Particularly your personal stories; I learned from them, was healed from them. God bless you and all filming crews.
