  • For each decision in our life, does God want us to make a specific choice? If so, how do we know what that choice should be? How do we know when we want something if it is our will or God's will? Join Fr. Chris Alar as he explains the importance of spiritual direction and how we can know what God wants us to do and how to find peace in our decisions.

    I found Fr Chris Alar & the Divine Mercy channel during Covid & it’s the best thing to come out of that disaster. I’m so thankful that Fr. Chris chose the priesthood. This series has answered so many questions for me & strengthened my faith. I’m Protestant, but I’ve found that Catholicism makes everything about Christianity fit together like a puzzle & makes all the books of the Bible, both old & new, & all the teachings & practices fit together like a glove. It turns all the books of the Bible into the finest, most sophisticated piece of literature even though it was written by different people over thousands of years.

      Hi Mike Pluta, hang in there and keep trusting in God. I am now 58 (can't believe where the time went) but around the age of 30 I still hadn't met anyone and was wondering if I was to be single or married. In God's time I met my beautiful wife and was married at 33 and one of my daughters, 21, was married last week, on the Thursday after Easter. Alleluia! As a Christian, all I can help you with is that our loving God has a plan for you and stay close to Him and things will work out. You probably know that but it might help to have someone else, a stranger, say it. God Bless from Melbourne Australia.

    Wow! I think this talk was written for me!! Fr Chris, this has got to be your best talk ever (or, at a minimum, in the top three). You explained everything so very clearly and your examples brought everything into focus. We must use our God-given intellect to inform our conscience - a step the secular world chooses to ignore. I have to tell you, after finding your talks on RUclips and learning the fullness of my Catholic faith, I am experiencing deep peace, joy, and love like never before. As you said, having right attitude is key. My senior quote in my high school yearbook was “it’s your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude“.
    Thank you, Father Chris, for your “yes“ to the priesthood. You have touched countless lives through your example and clear teachings. I don’t know where I would be today without you and the Marians. May Almighty God bless and protect you always and may He reward you for always speaking the truth because it’s what we need to hear. 🙏

    Oh my goodness Fr. Chris.. this is so timely!! When you started talking about when you didn’t properly discern, I just started crying. I also didn’t properly discern before getting married. Now my husband of 13yrs abandoned me for another married woman and filed for divorce. I feel that God is redirecting my path to enter religious life (don’t worry I don’t have kids). I believe that if this God’s will that He will provide a way for me to be a nun through the intercession of Our Lady. Our good Lord just blessed me with a spiritual director after praying for months 🙌🏼

    Your talk reminded me of something that happened 21 years ago. My grandson was 3 weeks old. My daughter was trying to nurse him and he wouldn’t eat. I looked at him and said get in the car. I drove her to the ER, speeding and running ever light. I dropped her off at the main entrance and went to park the car. As I was going in a police officer was coming out and I stopped him and told him I was driving 30 mph over speed limit and ran every light. He asked if it was emergency and I told him I was bringing my grandson in. The blue baby just dropped off? Yes. No problem, I hope everything goes well. My grandson Christian, had RSV. He is now 21. But if we had been any later in getting him there, he would have died. I ran into that officer once since then. He asked about my grandson and I told him oxygen level was 54 when we got there but we made it in time. He said he started praying for him that night. He was glad prayers were answered.

      In my opinion, it’s all in the delivery. When the teacher makes sense, we learn, retain and love the information. Father Chris is a brilliant yet down to earth teacher and his enthusiasm for the faith is truly contagious.

    Father, I curiously clicked on this topic because as I was walking home from mass this morning I was singing Hosanna and enjoying our Lord's creation. Suddenly these words surfaced within me "Fear is outside of the will of the Lord, and any such emotions contrary to the Spirit also." Prior to that I was pondering that I cannot be the same again, this year has been different from all of the others. You see I've fully surrendered myself to God. And nothing can separate from the mission he has given, I must die daily to the will of my flesh and clothe myself in Christ. I believe I was meant to watch this today ❤ you are always bringing a message of confirmation that I'm on the right path. God bless you richly 🙏🏼

    I’m not catholic but the first vid that popped up for me about 3 weeks ago was the Divine Mercy and Faustina teaching. And since then I have been listening to you. My prayer has been to know God more. I have felt like I hit a the peak in Protestant teaching but knew there was more. Well Catholic teaching is fulfilling the knowledge that I yearned of God. Really explaining the faith. The vastness of God and His mysteries and the soundness in it doctrine. This was a great video I enjoyed it.

    PRAY the Litany of Humility (humility being the antithesis of pride) as part of every routine examination of conscience in preparation for the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Also, every time you PRAY “Thy Will be Done” be mindful of when (in pride, or sloth, or anger, etc.) you’ve chosen “My Will be Done” instead and insert those instances of sin into examinations of conscience.

    I've received the Holy Spirit many years ago at a Healing Mass. I went down like I took an uppercut from Mike Tyson. But getting the seat of my rear in line with the back of my head with a sense of peace that you can't comprehend is something I'll never forget. That was when my relationship with Jesus really began. It was then I developed a healthy respect for Jesus.
    On the subject concerning the alphabet soup group, I can only say one thing. If you're so at peace with your preferences, then why must you force me to accept it.

      God keep you and your family! I ask Him in Jesus Name that He guides, keeps, protects, and supplies all needs according to His riches in glory, both spiritual and material. Lord more than two are gathered here and there isn’t any distance in prayer. I know that You guide us Jesus when we love YOU and desire Your Will! Amen
