[@LisaGemini]

I knew this, Father Chris, but you have such a powerful way of explaining how important the Virgin Mary is. Her adoration is one of the big reasons I love the Catholic Church.

[@kelechukwuanozyk7605]

Veneration of Mary. Adoration is for Jesus alone

[@michaeldwyer9656]

Father Alar, you've been "in the zone" as long as I've known you, albeit less than a year. Still, I have studied the question and am convinced that you have no peer in the depth and breadth of how God works through you. Sorry, the very good Scott Hahn, and indeed, all the rest. None are as productive as you, Father Alar. The late Bishop Sheen had quite a run. However, I find the substance of what you research and share to be, quite literally, divine. -- Michael E. Dwyer, Ph.D.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Thank you so much Michael for your support of our Divine Mercy ministry. God bless you.... we are grateful that God brought you here my friend!

[@mariaorth96]

Father Chris - I could become holier when I practice what you are teaching me. I’m still a sinner though. I asks for forgiveness daily. Thank you for the blessing you brought us daily through the Holy Mass and His presence online.

[@DivineMercy_Official]

Yes, Maria we are all sinners but that is why we need God's mercy so much :)

[@bchen2242]

Just stumbled on your channel, Father. Enjoyed it, thank you. A bishop once gave an explanation of the virginal conception of Jesus that blew my mind in its simplicity and logic. He said that at the Annunciation, Mary received from the Holy Spirit fullness of life; having fullness of life, Mary was able to generate a son without needing help from a man, something other women are not capable of; in this, Mary is like God the Father who is fullness of life and generates His Son without help from anyone. I think I got that right. God bless.

[@marcihf217]

Thank you Father for the wonderful explanation. It saddens me how so many Protestants will still refuse to honor Mary even with all the Scripture. It's as if "something" or "somebody" is blocking them. 😥😪

[@LisaGemini]

That somebody is Satan.

[@piepeeya4604]

Thank you father Chris, now I will direct anyone that asks why we are praying to Mary to this video. May the Lord heal your knee. =)
