Thank u 🙏 Father . I have learned a lot about John the Baptist I didn’t know. I am blessed to have found this church livestream . Father ,apart from some people not baptizing their children , a lot no longer have children like before or some choose not to have children. It’s very sad . We need the church to grow

I love John the Baptist. He is one of my patron Saints. Everyday I pray and ask him for his intercession.

[@thankfullyforgiven9611]

Father Chris, these lessons are such a treasure to the body of Christ. This has been a complete joy to listen too.I look so forward when I come across a new one. Could you and the Marian Fathers please put my family on your prayer list. Pray that the Good Lord will make a way for my family to be Catholic. I’ve begged God, and I’ve trusted in His time He’ll work things out. I’ll spare you the details, but please pray. Also I need to pick your brain. On one of your talks you said that the first amendment was written to protect the church. How was that? It looked like it was the other way around. Thank you Father Chris and the Marian Fathers. I’m still praying for y’all and your parents Father Chris. May God continue to richly bless you as you have been such a blessing to the body of Christ!❤

Fr. Chris, I want to thank the Lord for you. I have been watching your videos pretty much on a daily basis for the past 8-9 months, and I must say that the Good Lord has changed my life through your videos. I have finally quit the hardest bad habit that has consumed my life for the past 38 years back in October of 2023. In November, I went to confession like 3 times with a list. I now go to confession at least once a month. I fasted every Friday this past Lent, 3-4 slices of bread and water. Ever since Easter, I have started attending Mass on a daily basis now. I think I only missed Mass like 4 or 5 Saturdays, but other than that, I have become a Daily Communicant. And ever since May, thanks to it being the month of Mary, I have started saying the Rosary on a daily basis. We are now on the 3rd week in June and I am still keeping up with my New Habit. Thanks to Our Lord, Mother Mary, St. Louis de Montfort and to you Fr. Chris. Hopefully your videos help to change thousands of other lives.

[@louiseboivin1524]

Thank you Fr Chris for teaching us about Saint-Jean-Baptiste, our patron saint here in Quebec Canada. June 24th is a big feastday here, no body works, and we celebrate a lot. But it is now more about our culture than about the person of St-John. Décades ago there used to be big parades organised in every town, with a spécial tribute given to St-Jean Baptiste who was personified by a Young boy with blond and curly hair, dressed with a sheepskin, with a lamb by his side. But sadly, we do not think about the great saint we have as our patron anymore, …. we just celebrate ourselves, québécois…..

[@sandyespinoza5749]

Good Afternoon Father Alar and Blessings to you and all those you love. Im so happy you did this talk on St John the Baptist. My parents are from a little town up in the high mountains of Jalisco Mexico called San Juan de la Montana. And of course the patron saint of that town is St John the Baptist. His day is first started with a nine day Novena and following 9 days later with a June 24th HUGE celebration starting with Mass and later other celebrations throughout the whole day. and interestingly, for past years it will start to rain on that day after a dry spell. He Is really is loved dearly by everyone. Here's fun fact, in our Mexican/Hispanic culture for example, Virgin Mary would have been St John"s auntie because she and Elizabeth were cousins. So the children of my first cousins become my nieces and nephews. 🥰

Thank you Father Chris for another amazing talk! And I thank you for this advance talk about Saint John which supposedly for next Saturday. I go to daily Holy Mass and I always ask Saint John the Baptist and Saint John Apostle aside from Blessed Mother and Saint Joseph to pray for me before I receive the Holy Eucharist with great love and devotion. I work graveyard shift at the hospital and last night we were not that busy and went to the washroom and prayed to Saint John and I kept saying, "Help me decrease so God may increase" several times and ask him for the conversion of sinners that all may turn to God. Anyways, I love Saint John the Baptist, I feel that this holy saint wants me to know him closer. I was about to start tomorrow to pray the 100 Requiems for the Holy Souls in purgatory for Nine consecutive days asking for their intercession for my special request and I totally forgot this great saint's feast day is coming up soon until I watch your Saturday talk. I feel I am called to pray the Novena to him and it is a great timing too cuz if I start it today the novena ends on the ninth day which is his Feast Day and the next day on the 6/25/24 that's when I have an appoinment with Habitat for Humanity whether I get approved or not for a home program. So Father Chris thank you so much for this, you are a gift to the church. Please pray for me and to all you brothers and sisters of Christ keep me in your prayer. Most Sacred Heartnof Jesus, thy holy will be done. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, we love you, save souls. Saint John the Baptist, pray for us. Saint John the Apostle, pray for us.🙏✝️❤️🥰⚘️

[@The.Saints.Are.Alive.In.Christ]

All for knowing more about Christianity's Jewish roots. But we need to be aware that evangelical pastors are anti-papist by definition. They need to be take down the authority of the Church so they can use their. His video entitled "The Pope Francis End-Time Apostasy | Jonathan Cahn Prophetic" from 5 months ago is suggesting our Pope is an apostate by misrepresenting his encyclical "Fiducia Supplicans" (Supplicating Trust) We need to be aware and see behind the books, presentation and sparkle.

As usual Father Chris, this talk was a winner. There was lots of interesting information, including the parallels between the message of the Conception of St John the Baptist and the Conception of Jesus, by St Gabriel. Also, the explanation of metaphor of light decreasing from the time of his birth, and increasing after the birth of Our Lord. The most important lesson for me and some thing I had never heard of before was the concept of “soul ties.” I have heard Fr Ripperger speak of deliverance prayers but I never quite fully understood the concept. Now I do. Yes I would love to know more about generational healing. I did look online and he has a great one and I’m sure I will find more. In just two days and two different talks you have really given me plenty of homework for which I’m grateful . May God bless and protect you and your family. Sending prayers for all of you. Thank you for this enlightening teaching today. There’s never a dull moment as long as the Marians are teaching. I just ordered a couple of snap bracelets one for me and one for a gift.

[@ofeliacaballero5857]

Thank you for generously giving us an interesting topic on St. John the Baptist, Fr. Chris. We really need to hear his voice again to sound in our ears so as to bring us to repentance. We must listen well, repent and change to save our souls. Our daily examination of conscience is always important and a big step in striving for holiness in life. Repeating the words of St. John: “ He must increase; I must decrease.” Humbly, we open the tabernacle of our hearts for Jesus to reign that His light may shine on others.
