St. Maria Goretti - Living Divine Mercy (EWTN) Ep. 147 with Fr. Chris Alar, MIC

July 6 is the feast day of one of the most inspirational - and youngest - saints in the history of the Catholic Church: St. Maria Goretti, only 11 years old when she was killed. Father Chris Alar, MIC says her example of forgiveness to her attacker has had - and still has - a profound impact. Then hear the powerful story of Frank Ramirez who also lost a daughter at a young age but believes the way in which she died is the workmanship of an all-good and all-loving God.

Thank you Father Chris and all Marians for another outstanding program. St. Maria Goretti please pray for me and all who struggle with forgiveness. I am so stubborn when I feel offended. Please pray that I may not let anger keep me from the love of Jesus.

Can’t stop crying 😢 very touching stories.

[@ofeliacaballero5857]

Truly, the story of St. Maria Goretti is a great source of inspiration, to practice at all times the virtues of chastity and forgiveness very much ignored in the world today. Fr. Chris, I’m deeply grateful to you for choosing this story, that would surely help everyone to understand the importance of the virtues defended by the young saint at the price of her life. Focusing on God and his commandments, we save our souls and that of others. Thanks to the many holy contributors who support this presentation on Living Divine Mercy by sharing their own stories and experiences in life: Fr. James Cervantes, Frank Ramirez, Bro Paul and the scripture reading of Postulant Andrew. To you Fr. Chris and your Team, may the blessings and wisdom of God continue to flow in abundance in your lives, for the wonderful work and dedication full of love and joy to save souls.

Yes, what an amazing Father! Continued prayers for he and his entire family.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

No, the Father in the story of the Rimierz family

[@alwaysmisskaryn]

Beautiful episode LDM team. What an extraordinary saint Saint Maria Goretti is. Her mercy and forgiveness for her attacker is right up there with the mercy shown by St John Paul II when he visited his attacker in prison. Reminds me that when I’m faced with little nuisances I need to “get over myself “ And forgive the little aggravations people cause me. God bless you, Marian family and today on July 4, 2024 God bless America. 🇺🇸😇🇺🇸😇🇺🇸

[@mias392]

🤔 i'm thinking i may need to rewatch the episode on forgiveness that Father Chris Alar did a while back GOD BLESS 🙏💙
