I went to confession today, May 7 2021 for the first time in 50 years or more. I was afraid the priest was going to yell at me, I was embarrassed etc etc. I want to urge people out there to go; please just go and get it over with. It wasn't a bad experience at all. The priest in the confessional was very very kind and understanding. It will be worth your while to go- please consider going- take the step, DON'T Be afraid and go.
Welcome back. I did my long time confession after20 over yrs, few years back. I was very scared at first but now i go confession more often. It feels so free and good. Keep it up.
Doesn't it feel AWESOME to obtain the Sacrament of Reconciliation? My experience took 45 minutes and I went in with EIGHT handwritten pages!!! Two days later, at a TLM, my homecoming was complete when my spirit was blessed with the the Sacrament of Communion!!! To our God be the Glory!!! Velox Versutus Vigilans
Praise be to God! I went to confession for the first time after 12 years on the 24th of June which was the Feast Day of the Sacred Heart of Jesus at 3:00 pm. It's amazing to be back!
Father Chris, you are the one that has convinced me now that Catholic faith is the one true apostolic faith. Catholic faith has the fullness of the truth. NOW I focus & give my time to listen to your talks and teachings. This the first time I feel so hungry to listen to The Truth. And make me respect more to the Catholic teachings. I feel so sinful and want to live a holy life after listening to your talks. I have listened to a lot of non-Catholic/Charismatic/Protestant preachings and teachings. And sermons from boring Catholic Priests. Now I listen to your talks hours and hours patiently and repeatedly. Thank you Lord JESUS for sending us Father Chris Alar and has made me to listen him patiently.
Our true Catholic Faith is a Mighty blessing from God our loving Father, Son & Holy Spirit ❤️💜💚✝️🌺🌼🌸👱🏻♀️🙏🏼 Peace be with you all 💐Anna Bloss Melbourne Australia 🇦🇺
Father, after 40 years, I had my confession. I felt lighter in my soul because I'm lukewarm Catholic.the mortal sin I had carrying for 40 years is my 2 abortions. Thank you, my almighty God .I'm free and safe 🙏
This has been an amazing talk on confession which you’ve really educated me on confession which I had no idea. I’m 70 years old today a Catholic all my life took all my vows with the Catholic Church. I stayed with you to the end. I’m very amazed what I just learned. I live in Hawaii and try to watch you as much as I can. I love the rosary and divine mercy which I recite thus daily every morning as soon as I get and also during the day. I have a cousin who was a Brother and belonged to the Marian’s . He passed away several years ago. I want to continue and listen to your talks. You make it so interesting as I want to continue with you. Can you please pray for me Father and I thank you very very much!!!! Amen ❤
These talks are invaluable. Catholic for 50 plus years, I admit, with some shame, that I don't know everything about Catholicism. Our faith is soooo deep and wonderful. Most of my life, I have done the "minimum"....weekly mass, made all the Sacraments, etc. But it wasn't until I was in my forties that something switched and I wanted and desired to learn and do more. A burning inside, the presence of the Holy Spirit, being more mature, getting closer to death....I don't know exactly what triggered this new desire to learn more, to do more and be more. Some days that burning is low. Other days I can't read and pray enough. As long as the Lord knows me, loves me, and brings me to Him at the end, I can't hope for anything more.
Hello blessings from Australia. I just had to say hello and tell you father Chris, that you are amazing to watch and learn from. I decided three days ago to become Catholic, and have watched your videos back to back and are so excited to watch the weekly. Thank you for being on social media and for all your beautiful teachings. Your brand new sister in Christ Lynda ✝️🙏
Father Chris, take as much time as you need to teach us! I am watching this because I am hungry for the truth. I was never taught anything about the sacraments. I feel like a kid in the candy store listening to your talks. I NEED THIS SO MUCH! Thank you.
heavenly blessing Almighty father thank you, for your forgiveness, favor, and your love. Prayers for healing for all my family. Blessings for daughters future. Jesus, I love, adore and trust in you. Amen🌹
I finaly we t after 30 or so yrs. Scared, ashamed and needing mercy. I cried, i was so relieved. The priest said all the angels and saints were rejoicing for my return. That was beautiful.
I fell asleep to Explaining the Faith and woke up around 1:30 while this episode was playing. I began to think of my family and wondered if my mom and brothers would return to confession. Minutes later, I picked up my phone to find a message from my oldest brother from St. Peter's en route to Portugal to walk The Camino. He had just been to confession after 40 years -- at St. Peter's, no less. Coincidence? I think not. God is so good, and Miracles abound! Thank you Heavenly Father, and thank you Father Chris! ❤❤❤
My Mom sent me this message this morning. I've always felt kind of confused and not 100 percent sure of confessing my sins to another man who is a sinner as well. After watching and listening to this it made it totally clear to me that I need to confess my sins. I especially liked how he showed us a scripture in the bible John 20: 23 that proves this point. Thank you Mom and Father Chris.
This teaching series is so clear and so good, it should be mandatory viewing for all RCIA and Cathechisms! I pray lapsed and fallen away Catholics can find this channel and come home.
Fr. Chris. Albeit this teaching is from 2 yrs ago (I’ve been following you for a little longer) Everything happens in Gods time and when we are in a place to accept it. Well I’m in that place, must tell you this talk hit my soul. I will go without trepidation. When you explained the only unforgivable sin is against the Holy Spirit and explained why, then said by going to confession with a contrite heart is a sure way not to offend God. Well Fr. Chris, you are amazing! Truly a Servant of God. I must let you know, I have listened to you on speaker (phone) past year, on occasion my husband in other room. I sent him your talk recently on purgatory. Again there are no coincidences, he has decided to become Catholic, currently in OCIA. Praise be to God, decades of prayer and sacrifice answered. I truly believe God used you as one of His instruments. Thank you for your “yes” to your calling of being an internet Shepard guiding the flock of Jesus and Mary We need more Holy Priest such as you. You are remembered in my rosaries. May God continue to bless you and guide you thus spreading His goodness, love and mercy to us, your internet flock. Fr.Chris rocks in saving souls!
Fr. Chris I thank God for the gift of you and your spiritual teachings. At 53, I had my first confession a few hours ago (April 11, 2022 @20:00). I burst in tears and was so happy after. God bless you and all the priests.
While I was praying a few months ago and this came to me. Per the Holy Spirit. “It is true the eyes are the window to the soul. Then the soul is the window to the heart. And your heart is the window to God. So don’t forget to clean your windows so God’s light can shine bright through your heart. God Bless
Diabolical temptations got hold of my life since my early teen years. As early as I got trapped into the worst kind of sin I could recollect, I got to know that only spiritual connection to God can change my life. Thank You Lord Jesu.Amen
Confession really does transform you. When friends are struggling, I cautiously and gently encourage prayer and repentance of sins. Reconciliation is everything. The more I go, the better I feel! What an incredible blessing!!!!
Fr. Chris, thank you for your incredible faith and sharing your intelligence and wisdom. I have learned SO MUCH from your talks here on RUclips. Just as I had asked the Lord to renew and strengthen my Catholic faith during this Advent season, I discovered your talks and have been watching them and taking notes so that I can grow and defend my Catholic faith. These talks have been such a blessing this Season to me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am falling in love with my Catholic faith all over again and and Growing deeper in my love for our Lord and and our Blessed Mother. Pray that I may continue to deepen my faith and that I can learn the wisdom of our Catholic faith to carry in my daily life as a nurse and share it with all that I encounter.
That is awesome Kristen Thank you so much for practicing your faith with us and know you're in our prayers. We are super glad that you opened your heart to God's grace and come here to be part of our Marian family!
Ive been catholic my whole life. Im 60 and have never been explained what to confess. I have always asked the question. So so thank you for explaining it.
Thank you. Father Alar (and Padre Pio💕) for helping me make a good confession after nearly 30 years. Amazing how I can somehow sleep again. God is good! Love and blessings to you...
Wow, Anna Bea... God bless you for returning to confession! It is the greatest thing you can do b/c now you can receive the Eucharist! Prayers for you!
I'm going to confession tomorrow and this was great prep for examining my conscience. I learned a lot from this. Thank you Father! I enjoy all your videos.
God bless you and all and Papua New Guinea. A very important place where many American Marines lost their lives in protection of freedom. God bless you
Wow. I was going to look up what to say in confession and my favorite priest pops up. Along with Father Mike and Fathers Blount!! The Heavens really guide you… God bless
Thank you Fr. Alar! You’re the reason I go to confession every two weeks and do Divine Mercy, First Friday and First Saturday devotion. You helped me clean up my soul! God bless you and continue what you’re doing. You’re saving souls!
Norma Condon - Thank you for the wonderful lesson today - Confession and Divine Mercy. I will do my confession immediately and can't wait to get to Confession (reconciliation) when Pres Trump and the leaders of the World can get the churches opening again. I hope they are listening to Pres Trump he has a brilliant mind. More people are dying of old age sicknesses, road fatalities, and suicide through mental stress than the virus has wiped out. Thank you Father Chris. Very uplifting all your talks. Bless you in your good works.
Pres Trump said that George Floyd would be proud looking down from Heaven yesterday. I think they said he was a security guard who worked with the policeman who had a grudge against him and killed him with a special martial arts hold on his neck with his knee. Well, now he will be in history same as Martin Luther King Jnr who died as a martyr for his cause in trying to get equality for blacks and all colours. Because around the World there would have been around a million people shouting out his name and getting the courage to stand up for their people to have better treatment in the future. So George Floyd will be looking down from Heaven and know his death was not in vain a lot of good will come from it. I have been saying for about 20 yrs and I am nearly 80 now, that whether we are black, white, yellow, red (USA indians) or brown (islanders) we are all Gods Children and He loves us all the same, and we are truly brothers and sisters. In my family I have a son married to a beautiful Filipino, my brother was married to a wonderful lady aboriginal mother Japanese father for 57 yrs before they died, and my grandson in Paris is married to a French African young lady whose family has been in Paris 30 yrs from Cote D'Ivoire, West Africa, so I have encouraged them all to marry who they love, and they are all very happy, and I know they are loved by Heavenly Father the same as He loves me. Whatever Pres Trump says I can understand his heart is in the right place, but whatever he says people always turn it around and make something bad out of it. When he said "now the looting has started the shooting will be next". I think MLK said this. But I am not happy to see others on the other side of politics in USA trying to incite people to kill the Trumps. I pray for Donald, Melania and their beautiful families every day. You are doing good work and I pray that you will be able to get through to all those who need your messages. Thank you.
Thank you Fr Alar for this wonderful talk. I feel the main reason for people to turn away from their catholic faith is because we are not taught in detail about it. I got into new age being born and brought up in a catholic home and never had been to confession for more than 15 years (I would say my entire life since I didn't confess all my sins before) because I never knew the importance of it unless I heard your talk. I never remember teaching us the importance of mass and what happens during the mass. I lived my life just like anybody else lived justifying myself what was wrong or right according to my terms or what I believed was wrong or right. It was after listening to your talks I turned away from new age and embraced Jesus, his importance in my life, why confession is so important, why attending mass is important and why prayers are important in our daily lives.
Dear Father Chris. It’s never too much or too long for me! I’m captivated by everything you are saying! Wow! God is Love and Mercy ❤️ Thank you so much🙏
Thank you Fr. Chris for this message. I tuned in to it this morning as I was preparing my children for school. I must confess that this message was directed to me. Thank you very much for explaining the power of God's mercy and the need to go to the confessional regularly and at least, once a year. I am touched by these teachings. Thank you Br. Mark and the Marian family.
FR Chris, you are a gem. Your cethecism teachings are a treasure to the soul. I'm glued to your teachings. We need priests like you to nourish our soul with God's teachings. I pray for you every day.
In-Depth Teachings of my true faith. Father Chris thank you for highlighting how to make a good confession. I love to affirm to people I talk with that the Catholic Faith is the truest Religion as it is instituted by God Himself and it has an unbroken succession all the way back to St. Peter and to Jesus Christ Himself. Thank you for your knowledge on our Catholic Teachings. Much appreciated..
Father Chris thank you so much! Please don’t apologize for talking too long. You are such a blessing to all of us. This type of solid, digestible teaching is so very necessary these days. God bless you!!!
Holy Cow Father, I have been online looking for a Church to confess my sins after hearing what you have to say. Thank You Father Chris looking for part 2.. Please be safe..🙏🙏🙏
I didn't know I should prayer for my Confessor while I'm in line waiting for my turn. I was more worried if I would make a good confession and all of my sins.
Wow!!! What an incredibly inspirational talk!!! Thank you, Fr. Alar, for being such a wonderful, holy priest who so beautifully leads his flock!!!! You and your fellow priests have the promise of my daily prayers. God bless you. ❤️🙏
Hi Everyone, I hope you’re all considering becoming Marian Helpers if you haven’t yet, there are many benefits for us but we also assist and support the Marian priests so they can continue to evangelize and bring the message of Divine Mercy to the world! I love Father’s talks, it’s always good to know more and understand our faith! We need all the Marian priests to guide us now more than ever! And we need to pray for them every day. 🙏🙏🙏 May God bless you Father.
Thank you fr - My husband is 48years old. I told we need to go to confession and he said it's outdated. He thinks he has no sin. But I know he doesn't have God's love in his heart. Please pray for me and for my husband. Watching from New Zealand 🙏🙏🙏
Yes Bernadette... prayers for you and him and all in New Zealand. Please tell him we all need confession b/c we are all sinners but God's mercy is greater if we simply go to receive it. God bless.
Thank you fr Chris I was so happy I went to confession this evening & it brings a lot of healing to my soul.pray that I will go often to confession this is the sacrament I neglect the most.
Thank you Fr. Chris Alar for you wonderfully made your talk on Sacraments stressing on the sacrament of Reconciliation side by side with the Sacrament the Holy Eucharist. I believe that God send You in this channel to enlighten me and push me to prepare for a.good Confession with Humble and Contrite Heart, especially during this days of Lenten Season. Preparing also to join the pilgrimage to Limasawa Island to commemorate the 500 years gift of Christianity in the Philippines. I've been listening to you and I realize the unending Love of God through You. Once again I thank God for you because through your nice, concise, & clear explanation, you bring me.back to the source of LOVE & LIFE which is GOD Himself, inviting me once again to enjoy swimming & to go deeper in the Ocean of Love and Mercy of GOD. ❤️🔥🙏🙏🙏💯✝️✝️✝️🔥
Praise be to our God of Mercy. All the Glory must go to God. Thanks Father Chris for this Programme. I am hopeful and delighted that we have a loving God that helps us. God Bless!
Thank you fr.Chris for giving us so much understanding of confession.Its really very important. Thank you so much.God bless you n all your Marian fathers.
O HOW I WISH OUR PRIESTS FIND TIME TO HEAR CONFESSION AN HOUR BEFORE MASS. VERY SELDOM DO I SEE ONE. LORD JESUS, PLEASE BLESS YOUR PRIESTS, IN ALL PARISHES. AMEN...
It's one of my favorite sacraments! You'll actually start looking forward to it, go monthly if you can! The graces that flow are incredible and you'll feel the bondages of habitual sin loosening, your soul will seek purity
Father forgive me when I'm.angry with everyone including my brother Joseph n my dad Paul n my cousin ailn n this St beannette nursing home where I'm staying here for life medical reason St Brother joachimtang singapore
I finally realised on the 18th March 2024 that I spent 50 years ignoring a mortal sin. Been going to confessions but in denial of this particular one. All of a sudden I had this urge to do the right thing and confess it at last The following day while doing my morning walk,out of the blue some stranger just walked to me and ask me why am i glowing so much?? Amazing Grace indeed !!!!!
JPll said: Do Not Be Afraid. I went to confession after decades. Now you can’t keep me away if anything comes up that must be confessed. Get rid of all the garbage sim. You’ll feel great afterwords.💜🙏🏼
I love hearing you speak. I’ve swapped out music for binge listening to your series at work lol. Thank you for doing these lectures, Father. Sending love from New Orleans. ✝️
All ears Father Alar... However long your teaching is... Thank you so much and am looking forward to the next talk. My husband sat voluntarily with me and listened, too. Praying the teachings resonated on him. God bless you.
Please pray for my late sister Mouna ZUREIK who passed away on 26 August from spine cancer and severe pains so that her soul will Rest In Peace with the angels and saints
Amazing video, thanks Father. I just went to confession Friday and this will help me when I go in a few weeks. I try to go every month especially for the first Friday and Saturdays. I just became a Marian Helper and I look forward to visiting the Shrine in the future, to attend a mass and to have you do my confession.
A BIG BIG BIG THANK YOU GOD for sending His priest, Father Chris Alar, on this very useful posting on the Sacrament of Confession!!!!!!! It will certainly save mine and everyone's soul!!!!! Shall watch all your other videos and improve my spiritual life step by step to be even much more worthy of His forgiveness, mercy and love. Sending love all the way from Singapore~ May our Loving Father bless Father Chris Alar, his team and everyone around the world; with good physical and spiritual health, peace and joy! 😘❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for this amazing topic, Fr. Chris. I learn so much from listening to your lectures. God bless you Father. Best regard from Kupang, Indonesia.
Thank you for taking the time to teach us the truth. I worry about our church because so much has changed sense I was a child 60 years ago. God doesn’t change but the interpretation seems to. Thank God for all good priest like yourself. Your in my prayers 🙏🏻
Thank you Fr Chris Alar. Love your talks ; reminding us of all our Catholic teachings which we might have taken for granted . Thank you n God bless you
I went to confession today, May 7 2021 for the first time in 50 years or more. I was afraid the priest was going to yell at me, I was embarrassed etc etc. I want to urge people out there to go; please just go and get it over with. It wasn't a bad experience at all. The priest in the confessional was very very kind and understanding. It will be worth your while to go- please consider going- take the step, DON'T Be afraid and go.
Welcome back. I did my long time confession after20 over yrs, few years back. I was very scared at first but now i go confession more often. It feels so free and good. Keep it up.
Doesn't it feel AWESOME to obtain the Sacrament of Reconciliation? My experience took 45 minutes and I went in with EIGHT handwritten pages!!! Two days later, at a TLM, my homecoming was complete when my spirit was blessed with the the Sacrament of Communion!!! To our God be the Glory!!!

Wow, Anna Bea... God bless you for returning to confession! It is the greatest thing you can do b/c now you can receive the Eucharist! Prayers for you!
I'm going to confession tomorrow and this was great prep for examining my conscience. I learned a lot from this. Thank you Father! I enjoy all your videos.
Beautiful that you are going tomorrow 🙏
Wow. This talk is a breath of fresh air to my soul and my heart. God bless you father. Praise be to Jesus for the miracle of confession
Thank you for joining us Carlos and God bless you
Also I was Consecrated to our Blessed Mother on 4/29/23, I took 33 lessons with Father Michael Carlson and loved every bit of it. Thank you Father.❤
Thank you Fr Chris, Iam a Catholic and have watched your videos all the way from Papua New Guinea.
God bless you and all and Papua New Guinea. A very important place where many American Marines lost their lives in protection of freedom. God bless you
Fr. Chris, man of knowledge. God bless you.
Thank you Father Chris! You are a blessing!
GOD BLESS YOU FATHER CHRIS
I am Catholic 75 years old I learned so much listening to your lectures.
Thank You
Maryann McRae
THank you for joining us Mary Ann and God bless you for still desiring to learn about your faith! That shows God's grace is actively working in you :)
Wow. I was going to look up what to say in confession and my favorite priest pops up. Along with Father Mike and Fathers Blount!! The Heavens really guide you… God bless
Thank you Fr. Alar! You’re the reason I go to confession every two weeks and do Divine Mercy, First Friday and First Saturday devotion. You helped me clean up my soul! God bless you and continue what you’re doing. You’re saving souls!
God bless you Gabriela for being open to God's grace!
Norma Condon - Thank you for the wonderful lesson today - Confession and Divine Mercy.
I will do my confession immediately and can't wait to get to Confession (reconciliation) when Pres Trump and the leaders of the World can get the churches opening again. I hope they are listening to Pres Trump he has a brilliant mind. More people are dying of old age sicknesses, road fatalities, and suicide through mental stress than the virus has wiped out. Thank you Father Chris. Very uplifting all your talks. Bless you in your good works.
Pres Trump said that George Floyd would be proud looking down from Heaven yesterday. I think they said he was a security guard who worked with the policeman who had a grudge against him and killed him with a special martial arts hold on his neck with his knee. Well, now he will be in history same as Martin Luther King Jnr who died as a martyr for his cause in trying to get equality for blacks and all colours. Because around the World there would have been around a million people shouting out his name and getting the courage to stand up for their people to have better treatment in the future. So George Floyd will be looking down from Heaven and know his death was not in vain a lot of good will come from it. I have been saying for about 20 yrs and I am nearly 80 now, that whether we are black, white, yellow, red (USA indians) or brown (islanders) we are all Gods Children and He loves us all the same, and we are truly brothers and sisters. In my family I have a son married to a beautiful Filipino, my brother was married to a wonderful lady aboriginal mother Japanese father for 57 yrs before they died, and my grandson in Paris is married to a French African young lady whose family has been in Paris 30 yrs from Cote D'Ivoire, West Africa, so I have encouraged them all to marry who they love, and they are all very happy, and I know they are loved by Heavenly Father the same as He loves me. Whatever Pres Trump says I can understand his heart is in the right place, but whatever he says people always turn it around and make something bad out of it. When he said "now the looting has started the shooting will be next". I think MLK said this. But I am not happy to see others on the other side of politics in USA trying to incite people to kill the Trumps. I pray for Donald, Melania and their beautiful families every day. You are doing good work and I pray that you will be able to get through to all those who need your messages. Thank you.
Chris Alar &g
Thank you Fr Alar for this wonderful talk. I feel the main reason for people to turn away from their catholic faith is because we are not taught in detail about it. I got into new age being born and brought up in a catholic home and never had been to confession for more than 15 years (I would say my entire life since I didn't confess all my sins before) because I never knew the importance of it unless I heard your talk. I never remember teaching us the importance of mass and what happens during the mass. I lived my life just like anybody else lived justifying myself what was wrong or right according to my terms or what I believed was wrong or right. It was after listening to your talks I turned away from new age and embraced Jesus, his importance in my life, why confession is so important, why attending mass is important and why prayers are important in our daily lives.
Father,you are bringing catechism to us,once again,since the “Glory of the new
Evangelism.” We must get back to basics.Thank you.
Dear Father Chris. It’s never too much or too long for me! I’m captivated by everything you are saying! Wow! God is Love and Mercy ❤️ Thank you so much🙏
Thank you Gabriela and God bless you for taking the time to watch with us.
Im so Blessed to be Catholic!!
Yes, CF, we all are. God bless.
Amen.... God bless Fr Chris and the Marian priests for taking us deeper.
ME TOO!
Thank you Fr Chris ! Prayer for the confessor to understand us is so valuable.
Now I know how important this is to also pray for our confessor.
I?)$8? Cc’d x
Fr Chris, You are so fired UP by the Holy Spirit...God Bless You Always and More. AMEN
Yes indeed! I'm so blessed to be a Catholic and have a Catholic Family, friends and community way back home.
Thank you Fr. Chris for this message. I tuned in to it this morning as I was preparing my children for school. I must confess that this message was directed to me. Thank you very much for explaining the power of God's mercy and the need to go to the confessional regularly and at least, once a year. I am touched by these teachings. Thank you Br. Mark and the Marian family.
Thank you Edith for responding to God's graces of confession. We are glad you joined us.
Happy to hear Kevin James is a good Catholic!! He is my favorite actor…
FR Chris, you are a gem. Your cethecism teachings are a treasure to the soul. I'm glued to your teachings. We need priests like you to nourish our soul with God's teachings. I pray for you every day.
Thank you for being with us and God bless you!

In-Depth Teachings of my true faith. Father Chris thank you for highlighting how to make a good confession. I love to affirm to people I talk with that the Catholic Faith is the truest Religion as it is instituted by God Himself and it has an unbroken succession all the way back to St. Peter and to Jesus Christ Himself. Thank you for your knowledge on our Catholic Teachings. Much appreciated..
And thank you for being open to Church teaching Audrey.... God bless you.

Father Chris. Thank you for being here for us i love hearing your thoughts on the subject of Divine Mercy.
@@sherylllynn2710 ok
I didn't know I should prayer for my Confessor while I'm in line waiting for my turn. I was more worried if I would make a good confession and all of my sins.
I've never thought of that.
Wow!!! What an incredibly inspirational talk!!! Thank you, Fr. Alar, for being such a wonderful, holy priest who so beautifully leads his flock!!!! You and your fellow priests have the promise of my daily prayers. God bless you. ❤️🙏
Thank you Angela for joining us and God bless you too :)
Hi Everyone, I hope you’re all considering becoming Marian Helpers if you haven’t yet, there are many benefits for us but we also assist and support the Marian priests so they can continue to evangelize and bring the message of Divine Mercy to the world! I love Father’s talks, it’s always good to know more and understand our faith!
We need all the Marian priests to guide us now more than ever! And we need to pray for them every day.
🙏🙏🙏
May God bless you Father.
Thank you fr - My husband is 48years old. I told we need to go to confession and he said it's outdated. He thinks he has no sin. But I know he doesn't have God's love in his heart. Please pray for me and for my husband. Watching from New Zealand 🙏🙏🙏
Yes Bernadette... prayers for you and him and all in New Zealand. Please tell him we all need confession b/c we are all sinners but God's mercy is greater if we simply go to receive it. God bless.
There is no doubt. You are.sent by God Fr. Chris Alar to bring His choosen people back to Him. You are a real gift of God to us, the CHURCH
Praying for him 🙏🏼❤️🕊
Thank you fr Chris I was so happy I went to confession this evening & it brings a lot of healing to my soul.pray that I will go often to confession this is the sacrament I neglect the most.

Thanks father after your explanation I get clear Now I have to be true repantance of my sin I in my whole life
Thank you Fr. Chris Alar for you wonderfully made your talk on Sacraments stressing on the sacrament of Reconciliation side by side with the Sacrament the Holy Eucharist. I believe that God send You in this channel to enlighten me and push me to prepare for a.good Confession with Humble and Contrite Heart, especially during this days of Lenten Season. Preparing also to join the pilgrimage to Limasawa Island to commemorate the 500 years gift of Christianity in the Philippines. I've been listening to you and I realize the unending Love of God through You. Once again I thank God for you because through your nice, concise, & clear explanation, you bring me.back to the source of LOVE & LIFE which is GOD Himself, inviting me once again to enjoy swimming & to go deeper in the Ocean of Love and Mercy of GOD. ❤️🔥🙏🙏🙏💯✝️✝️✝️🔥

I finally realised on the 18th March 2024 that I spent 50 years ignoring a mortal sin.
Been going to confessions but in denial of this particular one.
All of a sudden I had this urge to do the right thing and confess it at last
The following day while doing my morning walk,out of the blue some stranger just walked to me and ask me why am i glowing so much??
Amazing Grace indeed !!!!!
God bless you!
JPll said: Do Not Be Afraid. I went to confession after decades. Now you can’t keep me away if anything comes up that must be confessed. Get rid of all the garbage sim. You’ll feel great afterwords.💜🙏🏼

Amazing video, thanks Father. I just went to confession Friday and this will help me when I go in a few weeks. I try to go every month especially for the first Friday and Saturdays. I just became a Marian Helper and I look forward to visiting the Shrine in the future, to attend a mass and to have you do my confession.
