    What a beautiful story about the Scranton parish and all the glorious fruits of their Eucharistic Adoration chapel. We must pray that all pastors would believe in the power of Adoration and the graces that flow from it and fervently promote this apostolate in their parish - for the good of their community and the world. Thank you Fr. Chris, for explaining the biblical basis of the Most Holy Rosary…so very beautiful! May our Blessed Mother continue to shower the Marian Fathers and Brothers with abundant blessings.

    This was a great episode, Living Divine Mercy team. Who doesn’t love praying the rosary? My favorite mysteries are the Mysteries of Light. St Pope John Paul II pray for us.
    I try very hard when praying the rosary to meditate on the scriptural passages, keeping the Hail Mary’s as the background music as you have taught us
    Father Chris.
    St. Thomas Moore Parish is definitely graced by God. It’s an unbelievable story of how the parish and various ministries organically evolved. They are the fruits of the adoration of the children. Who is better to be adorers than the innocent children of the parish?
    Father Matthew, you did a great job reading the first Chapter of Luke.

    Thank you, Fr. Chris, for this excellent presentation of Living Divine Mercy: Is the Rosary Biblical? Deeply grateful for the biblical explanation of the mysteries of the rosary which is full of reflections and pure truth to nourish our faith. Thanks to Fr. Eric Bergman and the families in the Parish of St. Thomas More, whose oneness of spirit as a community of prayer, praying the rosary and spending time in adoration of the Holy Eucharist are very edifying and magnifying in the lives of others. Their dedication and commitment toward Jesus, Mary and the Church are highly praised, appreciated and valued in the hearts full of faith. May all of them be a light to the world that will continue to shine and inspire others to follow the Way of the Lord, the surest way to our salvation.

    It helps me to play a podcast of a Scriptural Rosary while I fall asleep, and when I awaken during the night it helps me fall back to sleep. Focusing on the Scriptures puts my mind at ease and crowds out the kind of thoughts that can interfere with sleep. I think it influences my dreams, as well, because I'm focused on the Gospel words and imagery as I'm drifting into sleep.
    As always, 3 Hail Marys for the intentions of Fr. Chris Alar and the Marians 🌹🌹🌹🙏🏻✝️

    Aww. Fr. Chris.... look like you have a 5 O'clock shadow.... lol. Just making light of things... and I hope you get a chuckle... lol... its me Loopy-Loops. Thank you for all you do and for preparing all these wonderful videos... I know you have said you stay up late and are up early... So I get it that by the time the day goes by and all the videos and recordings you do for us are time consuming and many sleepless nights preparing.... So on the next... thus video is especially important to me. As the last catholic in my family.. The Rosary is especially meaningful for me because it connects me to my Heavenly Mother... Our Mother of Our Lord... wow...what an honor... I know that when I Don't pray my Rosary I feel empty , like if I'm missing something.. and then I say to myself...ahhh . Yup I didn't pray my Rosary... Many times I have spreed the decade through my day... or just say. Few hail Mary's just because I need my connection with Our Mother.. Last, I enjoy saying a hail Mary and decade when I incorporate it with the Stations of the cross... anyhooo. Thanks again and May God Bless you and all the Marian Fathers...

    Fr off subject why are you going to Medjugore especially since it is not Church approved.

    • @DivineMercy_Official
      @DivineMercy_Official  3 месяца назад

      The Holy See has made no official declaration on the alleged supernatural revelations to the six visionaries of Medjugorje. That means it has not declared the revelations are either of supernatural origin or not of supernatural origin. Authority over the ongoing evaluation of the alleged revelations as well as the pastoral care of the parish of Medjugorje are directly under the authority of the Holy See. This means it is not condemned. Authority of any local bishop or national or regional committee of bishops has been removed. For the first time in the history of the Church, the Holy See intervened and assumed jurisdiction over a particular alleged apparition site. Through the initiative of Pope Benedict XVI, a commission was established in 2010 to investigate the happenings of Medjugorje. It was chaired by Cardinal Camillo Ruini and consisted of 5 other Cardinals, 5 theologians, 2 psychologists, an anthropologist, a canonist, the speaker for the Cause of Saints, and an official of the CDF.
      On May 11, 2019, Pope Francis authorized the organization of pilgrimages to Medjugorje, permitting dioceses and clerics to visit the site and guide pilgrims. Vatican statement added, that due to the high volume of pilgrims to Medjugorje and the “abundant fruits of grace that flow from it,” the permission to make pilgrimages “is part of the particular pastoral attention that the Holy Father intended to give to this reality, aimed at favoring and promoting the fruits of good.” The Vatican statement again reaffirms that the Church has not made an official determination on the supernatural character of the apparitions. And it acknowledges the good fruit produced.
      At the invitation of Archbishop Hoser, 14 archbishops and bishops, over 700 priests, and more than 60,000 young adults from 97 countries attended the 30th annual Youth Festival from July 30- August 6, 2019. Carballo and Hoser have communicated directly to religious communities currently present in Medjugorje that they have received apostolic approbation from the Vatican to be present for ministry in Medjugorje. Archbishop Luigi Pezzuto, the Apostolic Nuncio to Bosnia-Herzegovina, delivered the New Year’s Eve/day homily on the Feast of Mary, the Mother of God. Significant statements: Mentions that we are on a pilgrimage that brings us to “this Marian destination” [St. James Church] of “the temple of the Queen of Peace” that is located in Medjugorje, Hercegovina. Refers to Mary as the Queen of Peace and the Queen of Divine Mercy on three occasions. Pezzuto is THE representative of the Holy See speaking very favorably of Medjugorje and making direct reference to the title of Mary in Medjugorje, “Queen of Peace.”
      Any apparition, whether approved or not, fall under the category of “private revelation.” No person is obliged to believe in or express devotion to any particular apparition. Since the Church’s evaluation of the apparitions are ongoing and open, any expression of belief in the supernatural origin of the alleged apparitions is not only private but also personal. The Church does not forbid expressed devotion of faith in apparition sites that have not been officially recognized.
      The apparitions of Medjugorje have not been determined to not be of supernatural origin. Therefore, individual persons are free to express their personal belief or disbelief in the supernatural origin of the apparitions. In fact, many bishops, priests, theologians and even popes have expressed their personal opinions on either side.
      As a son of the Church, I will always comply and be obedient to any official determination of the Church in the realm of doctrine, that is, faith and morals. Since the Church has not made a negative determination on Medjugorje, I am free to express my personal belief in the nature of the apparitions. Direct Archbishop Hoser said: “I believe that the message of peace, which is central here in Medjugorje, is intended for the whole world. Medjugorje represents Europe’s spiritual lungs, a place where millions discover God and the beauties of the church.”
      Archbishop Hoser said the Pope had “opened a great door to enter Medjugorje” with his May 12, 2019 decree, adding that he was “personally and intimately convinced” the Marian center offered “a model for new evangelization.”
      “The fact apparitions are still continuing is the main obstacle to a final ruling, since it’s hard to decide on something which hasn’t finished. For now, the question of recognizing the authenticity of the apparitions remains in the hands of the Secretariat of State.”
      Hoser said he hoped more priests will come to provide sacraments and catechesis training at Medjugorje.

      @DesiMartinezPromotions 3 месяца назад +3

      Fr. Alar might not see this. I could try. Please accept my attempt. Gabriel was an angel, or messenger of God. The “Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you” from Gabriel are the words delivered to Mary from the Almighty. The Lord is Hailing Mary’s purity, faithfulness, and love, amongst other things, and is informing the world that Mary is also, “full of (God’s) grace” and that “[He] is with [her]. Many words directly from scripture become prayer. I would think that goes doubly so when it’s God who sends those words. prayer originally meant “conversation”, I believe. We are conversing and praying to Mary in the words of the Almighty. If they are words that the Lord has sent, I feel comfortable with it as my prayer. I hope this helped. God bless

    • @jmh8510
      @jmh8510 3 месяца назад

      @@DesiMartinezPromotions that is quite helpful. I like to pray the rosary as praying scripture right back to God. Not focusing on praying to Mary as the 100% focus, for she’s not deity, tho a powerful role model in holiness and yieldedness to God. Gospel focus-The greatest thing given to humanity.

I do my best to share all of these, especially with people who like I was a clueless, “Sunday”, cradle Catholic just a couple of years ago. I took a fellow parishioner with me to see the Jesus Thirsts movie last night and at the end she said “I am totally blown away. Why didn’t I know this? “
