    I am 79 yrs old and am a recent Catholic. For the last four years I have been praying the Rosary and Divine Mercy daily without really knowing the magnitude of what I was doing. Listening to this has been so very humbling and I thank God. I will try to pray for priests and thank God for them daily 💕❤️

    I have learned more about being a Catholic from watching your videos than I remember ever learning in catechism or RCIA when I came back into the church when I was older and didn’t even know Confirmation was even a sacrament
    I cannot be the only one who benefits from your videos Fr Alar And you have such a gift...not just your understanding and knowledge of the Catholic faith and what it means to be Catholic but your ability to convey your knowledge to the rest of us...You have truly been blessed abundantly by the Holy Ghost and I’ll go one step further and say that I believe you are the answer Our Lord God has given to us in answering so many of our prayers...I’ve pray for wisdom and understanding all my life and I know many of my brothers and sisters must have prayed those same prayers...Thank You And Thank You Jesus for answering those prayers🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🕊🙏

    Thank you, Fr Chris, again, for helping us understand about our Catholic Faith. Since I heard about your talk on priesthood the first time I watched/listened to this video series, I always go and “kiss” the priest’s hand (Filipino way is- we reach out and take hold of the hand of the priest (usually his right hand) and touch our forehead onto the back of the priest’s hand with a slight bow of our head). This is our way of giving him respect, a request for priestly blessing and thanksgiving for his service as a priest. Right now, I’d like to offer all our priests my “hand kiss.” Just know, that there are many of us who truly care and pray for you. May God bless you with everything that you need to continue with your blessed ministry🙏❤️🙏
    P.S. Again, I am crying as I get emotional about this. True, without you, our blessed priests, we won’t be able to receive Jesus sacramentally. Without you, the consecration of the bread and wine will not happen. Without you, there is no Holy Eucharist, the food for our soul! Long live our Catholic priests🙏🙏🙏

I too am italian, but my parents would have warmed my backside if I had acted like that, no matter how old I was! I miss them dearly! On a serious note, thank you for addressing the scandal and crisis in the Church, hiding information is how we got here in the first place. I know you wouldn't know it by watching the evening news, other religious denominations have just as many, or more issues. I know that they are not really Christians, but listening to stories of the abuse of children, male and female, who were made to go weekly to see an elder and confess any/every sexual thought or action and the session taking a very inappropriate turn, is heartbreaking. Anyway... Love the Saturday talks, wait all week for them! God bless you all!

God saved my life and the Sisters prepared me to serve as a nurse. I listen to your Holy Rosary on my commute home after work and it just places all my stress of the day at the feet of Jesus.

    Thankyou God for the grace of Divine Mercy. Fr Chris I truely believe what you said about priests talking about the Divine Mercy. I had become disillusioned with the Catholic Church due to all of the abuse and had walked away for 4 years then in 2020 I saw your Divine Mercy upload on RUclips on Divine Mercy Sunday and pow! It hit me like tonne of love and forgiveness all in one. And here Iam more in love with Our Lord and more devout then ever, hungry to learn everything I can about our faith. Thankyou for you lessons, may God give you the grace please continue and may the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ protect you always. May we all pray a Hail Mary for Fr Chris and his fellow priests.

    Thank you, Father Chris. I am so willing to listen to you. I do pray for he who hurt me. I forgive him, I can’t forget. I can verbatim say the things said to me and about me at Mass at his homily, no less! But, I pray to this day for the health of his spirit and soul. He has retired young.

    GOD BLESS. My cousin who's a Deacon told me you have to priest shop in this day and age. I'm sad to say but it's true. I grew up in the church in the early 1960s before Vatican II took hold. My family are Slavic.
    They were the ones who kissed a priests' hands even after he was no longer a "new priest".
    I long for those days when a priest would walk by and you made the sign of the cross to bless yourself and him. Consecrated hands always got respect from us as children. Our parents taught us to be respectful.
    And thank God I've never known a priest who abused anyone.
    Now having said all that I can honestly say I listen to your videos often and the reason I do goes back to what my cousin the Deacon said.
    Find a priest who has it. The Holy Spirit. And stick with him.
    You've got it Father. And may you never lose it.
    Viva Cristeros!

      God bless DE and thank you for joining us. Yes, I am Slavic too (Croatian and Czech). I love my Polish brothers and am grateful that Divine Mercy came to us from God through Poland. God bless you.

    Bless you Fr. Chris and all the priests who are faithful to serve the mother church. Thank you for all the research, time, effort, prayers and knowledge that you continue to pour out on this youtube videos. You have no idea just how much your teachings and other marian fathers have helped me go back to my faith & start praying the rosary again & join the divine mercy chaplet prayer. I watch & listen to your teaching all day long as I find them very educational, meaningful, inspirational, as I've said before - better than netflix. Now I cannot go with my day without a prayer. Thank you & God Bless.

    Definitely these priests scandals made me wonder out of the church for so long.
    However, I know it is not all priests.

    Terrific talk Father!! It's always such a great education for me. Thank you for all the work you put into your talks on Explaining the Faith series. I'm also so very thankful to Brother Mark and the other tech people. I often can't catch these live, tho i prefer to, so having them available after is such a blessing to me. God Bless all of you at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy. Always in my prayers are priests and anyone in or seeking religious vocations. You are a true warrior for our faith!! Thank you for answering the call.
