I need this type of lecture in my life. Short little lectures are easier to fit in my schedule but you get me so engaged that I forget how long it really is.lol What a blessing to be able to listen to you. You are our modern day St Francis repairing our church!
As an adult convert I can’t tell you how helpful and educational these videos have been! Sometimes I feel so out of my depth because there is SO MUCH to learn about the Catholic faith. I’m grateful for you! God bless you Father Chris!
St. Francis pray for us intercede for us all especially in this chaotic world good day to you father chris & to all the marian fathers, family thanks somuch 😢😮😅😊❤
My son passed away Oct 15, 2021 at 21 years of age. I chose the peace prayer to be included opposite his picture as he loved St. Francis. I thank God for the 21 years I had with him and I offer my pain up to join with Christ's Passion. Mother Mary I weep with you but I will not lose hope, with the strength of the Holy Trinity and your help Good Loving Mother. God Bless the world, let the illumination come in God's time so hearts may know and love Jesus and be opened to the Holy Spirit. God's will be done! Please dear readers remember 1> love God 2> Love all people, friend and enemy alike. 3> spread peace wherever you go.
MJ MamaJ, my own dear husband passed away the very next day so, I feel ur loss… 🙏 I pray that God will continue helping us both deal w/our feelings of loss & sadness in losing a person so dear & so very important in our lives. Without my precious husband here…. feelings of loneliness & despair sometimes just overwhelm me & I struggle w/depression & try to pray & trust in God more. I KNOW, in my mind, that God IS w/me, but, I’m having trouble w/my feelings of depression. I ask for prayers in helping me overcome these all too human emotions. I thank u for any & all prayers from those who are Prayer Warriors of MIC & I will continue praying for Fr Chris & all the devoted followers of MIC. God bless u all! 🙏
My birthday is October 15th. I am 31 years old now. I often forget, to think more of myself . I pray to the lord , to help me understand how fragile and temporal life is , and how special it is. May I always remember to care for other before myself , only then will my life have meaning . I pray your son is in peace with our heavenly family. How ungrateful I am , may I gain inspiration lord from this sorrow of this mother . And may our blessed mother comfort her in her affliction , now until death . amen
Just to add, I love animals, and we help feed the wild foxes and speak to them too, also the birds and seagulls, I love chatting to them, when they come for food in our garden, St Francis of Assisi is one of my favourite saints, thank you again Fr Chris for your brilliant talk.🙏
I just found you Father, I am a Traditional Mass Catholic and I loved Parts 1 and 2 explanations. I am going to listen to each of them once more. Please continue to provide us with your knowledge. Many of us are so grateful. Thank you.
I enjoyed watching 👀 ☺️ 😊 😌 the lives of saints st. Francis of assisi is one of my most beloved saint ❤️ ♥️ 💙 alongside w st. Claire who's as holy n pious I wish we can also reiterate their life principles w the desire of holiness , poverty, n humility thanks father chris I missed a lot of your talks good health 😀 ❤️ 💙 🙏 😢
I was so excited when a neighbor asked if I wanted her St. Francis garden statue. I planted a flower garden around it. It is located abreast an outside table where my neighbors, mostly lapsed Catholics, come over to sit & visit. I feed the deer and foxes who eat 10' from where we sit. Ihave started praying to St. Francis to touch my wayward neighbors'hearts and bring them back home. And then, while doing chores, your St. Francis talk came up. Yes, our faith is so amazing & beautiful.
My father was killed in a work accident when he was 41....I was 17. We were a Catholic family..mom, dad, and 7 kids all from the same mom and dad. Mass every Sunday, we all made our sacraments (seemed like we went to confession weekly..ha)...but we never talked about our faith at home, and the Catechism classes weren't that much better! Anyway...my dad was born on Oct.4th and his name was Paul Francis. I decided at age 50 to learn why we do, and why we believe what we do as Catholics. I just realized a year ago, at age 59, why my dads middle name is Francis! I feel blessed to have figured that out, and a kind of sadness that no one ever told us. I should mention that my mom was a convert (which I didnt know until after her death) and she also died relatively young (55). St. Francis, please let my dad know that I figured out that he is your name sake, and that I love him! Also, if you could intercede for me and ask Jesus to please be with me, and allow my dad to watch over me...as I am going through a very difficult time right now! 💠
Thank you so much Fr Chris Alar, for this awsome talk, I love your enthusiasm and the brilliant way you explain everything, we are all very privileged to be able to learn about St Francis and thank you again and God bless you.🙏
Father Chris, thank you for this beautiful talk talk on St Francis. You make the story so interesting. Everybody in the family is listening. May God heal your family 🙏
Hi father chris ive learned a lot from all your talks which I never learned from my school days in the philippines I attendent catholic nun schools thanks somuch father for the enlightenment of increasing my catholic faith a blessed pentecost sunday father & to all marian fathers / loved ones
Thank you Father. Chris for this amazing talk! We (my family) always look forward to your talks! We always learn something new everytime. Continue having your lectures 1.5 hours long! God bless you Father Chris and Divine Mercy team!❤🙏✝️
I enjoyed your presentation on the life of the Seraphic Father, St. Francis. You had a balanced history of his life. Sometimes I see what I call the "birdbath" St. Francis being pushed a little too often and as a lover of St. Francis and his order it does a disservice to him and the order(s) when only the love of nature and "new-agey" stuff is talked about and nothing else. One of St. Francis's most beautiful writings, "The Canticle of the Creatures" was written close to his death, when he was suffering a lot physically. How he could write something so beautiful while suffering so badly is - well, it's God's infinite mercy and love. Thank you for the presentation, Fr. Chris ❤
Thank you Fr Chris for another free Seminary class. St Francis of Assisi one of my favorite Saints. Pray for us. Love your story about Carol and the fox. Never tired listening to your hilarious stories. You are God sent from heaven. Praying for Mrs Alar your Dad and Pam. Thank you Br Mark for your technical expertise. God bless everyone ❤️🙏
Thanks father Chris Alar for sharing your thoughts and prayers for us.May God bless you and all our Catholic evangelist for the job well done.Please remember my family in Australia in your PRAYERS.
I loved your talk! I am a Third Order Secular Franciscan but want you to know that there are also Third Order Religious Franciscan Sisters. I am an Associate with the Franciscan Sisters of the Sacred Heart. They take religious vows. You may want to look into the fact that there are two Third Order groups. Blessings on all you do Father Chris.
Watching from the Philippines. I am grateful to Franciscan Mission Service for giving me the opportunity to serve in overseas. Part of my lifelong mission is advocating Natural Farming and planting of banyan trees for climate change mitigation.
I must say I love going to seminary with you-I have learned so much about our Catholic faith, so much so that Saturday mornings are reserved for listening to my next lecture-thank you for all that you do to spread GOD’s Word
Thank you so much Fr. Chris for sharing to us the heroic life of St. Francis of Assisi. It reminds me of stripping myself more of earthly belongings and worldly attachments that I don’t really need anymore, such as books and household articles. God is everything, what more do I need. He can fill me with Himself only when I’m empty of many things that hinder my union with Him. Jesus is the only happiness my heart desires. In many ways, He manifested His love and mercy in my life, the reason I can’t refuse Him anything He ask from me. In all humility, I go down on my knees and acknowledge my nothingness before my loving and merciful Jesus, the Living Divine Mercy. God bless us all.
Father Chris, I don't care how long your conferences are. They are educational and are for the attainment of knowledge. Thank you for taking the time to teach us all. All of your conferences are immensely valuable to all of the Laity.
April 20, 2023 Thursday 😊 my background for today's work ❤ ❤ God bless you Fr. Chris... Watching from Dammam Saudi Arabia (OFW) I am really from Philippines ❤❤❤
Listen in at 52:38. The passion and exuberance in Father Alar's voice can barely be contained or disguised as he articulates the miracles of this saint!!!😇 Father Chris: you're THE REAL DEAL!!! No wonder this has become my favourite Channel within less than two weeks!!!🥰 Blessings to you and all the faithful. Velox Versutus Vigilans
Thank you Father! For such a great and beloved saint, I didn’t know that St. Francis was so relatable is some way to a lot of us… ❤️✝️❤️ St. Francis of Assisi, pray for us!
Thanks for your talk on St Francis, Father Chris. I watched this already once or twice, but I had to watch it again and take notes. As a Non-Catholic, who is interested in becoming Catholic, I love learning about the Saints-- especially St. Francis (and St. Padre Pio), as the Lord has shown me that these are among my "main" patron saints. God bless you. May the Lord bless and keep you; may He shine His face upon you; and may He bring you peace.
Im starting to think God puts the same divine inspirations in all his people but we carry out his will in different ways. I just picked up a book on St. Francis this week, and Father comes out with a talk about St. Francis today! Coincidences are just a regular part of the catholic life. God bless you Father Chris! I offer up my daily rosary for you!
Indeed we have to pray for the church and our Priests ...the devil prowls trying to tempt them...prayers for Fr. Chris are a welcome thing and i believe are received happily by God...🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌍🌍🌍
That is interesting. God speaks to us in different ways. I just watched the St Francis movie days back and had no idea the feast day is coming soon, and then I watched this too :)
St. Francis, pls. Heal our Christian fellowmsn doctor Willie ong who's struggling right now from a very rare form of cancer were all here to give him moral support to continue his Christian mission to the less unfortunate Filipinos he's born to do this mission in this life give him a miracle , o lord thank you father chris for this video talk I love all the saints we love you here in belgium 😅😅😅😅😅
Amazing talk! Thank you Fr Chris. Learned a lot again from you today. In the building that I work is St Francis-inspired. In front is a HUGE statue of St Francis & in the back building is the Tau cross. I see his statue everyday when I come in & when I leave work & talk to him &sometimes take selfies w/him, my Jehovah Wit coworker says I’m crazy😆… oh well. So honored to be in your “seminary”class again today. God bless you.
I wish all the priest like you father Chris ,, you explained everything about our Catholic Faith ,, thank you so much coz we have a priest like you .....
I really liked your seminary class about St. Francis. He's a good example of how we can all learn from saints no matter how many years/centuries ago they have passed away. It's understandable how you wouldn't be able to also talk about St. Therese of Lisieux, because of how much there was to talk about St. Francis. I hope that you get into talking more on the lives of the saints.
Fr. Criss Almighty God bless you abundantly for all the effort you are making to explain the Catholic faith. I was bought up as a Catholic but stopped following the obvious teachings because I had no knowledge of the deeper beliefs held by the Catholic church. Your lectures have enlightened me and now I feel compelled to come back home.Pleace don't give up for any reason.
Fr. Chris, I really need some prayers because of the stress that I've been under. It feels as if I've been carrying one Cross after another and they just seem to be getting heavier and heavier. I explained my new crisis in the comments from last Friday's Mass. God bless now and always.
@Tara Milne I have been feeling the exact same way and then I ran across this quote, “Without the burdens of affliction, it is impossible to reach the height of grace, the gift of grace increases as the struggle increases” St Rose of Lima. Praying for you 🙏🏼🙏🏼😇
@@mekaqb6605 Thank you, MEKA QB, it is really appreciated. I have to get sprayed for the precautionary of bedbugs. The apartments beside me have bedbugs. Even though I don't have bedbugs and my apartment is a precautionary spray the stuff gets all over the place and when I return to the apartment six hours after being sprayed I have to clean most of the chemical from counters, furniture etc. I have mostly everything packed up that I don't want the chemical to land on. It's a bit of work. What I hate most about the chemical is that it clings to everything until it get washed off.
@@taramilne9465 wow that’s awful to deal with. I pray that all will be ok for you. We bought a used item and it gave us a cockroach infestation. I’ve tried so many things. I guess we have to keep our eyes on the big picture and say, Jesus I trust in you. I say this many times a day when I feel myself breaking down. 🙏🏼🥰😇
@@mekaqb6605 When dealing with cockroaches or even bedbugs there are two essential oils that they hate. Those two oils are Eucalyptus oil and Peppermint oil. In my opinion get them both in the bigger bottle because even though you use these oils by drops the bigger bottles (118 ml) will last longer. When I first dust my furniture I fill an all purpose spray bottle with water, a little vinegar and 10 drops of each of those essential oils. When i wipe up my floor i use the same combination but with hot water from the tap, a little vinegar and 20 drops each of the essential oils in your bucket. When purchasing these two oils in the 118ml sized bottle it might seem very expensive but the last time I bought a big bottle of both was in Oct. of 2020 and I have only half a bottle of each. The best type of store to purchase the essential oils is a health food store because that's where you can purchase the bigger bottles for a much longer supply. When you see a cockroach and you have that solution in your spray bottle then grab the bottle, find the cockroach and spray it on the bug because they die instantly. One of the best prayers that I like to pray when frustrated is called "Be At Peace" by St. Francis de Sales.
Father Alar is so cute. I'm about to convert....well, when I get myself motivated to drive to the Catholic Church and initiate it instead of winging it and studying the saints and the catechism at home basically watching Fr. Alar and Taylor Marshall, etc..... But I love these talks. I love falling asleep to them and waking up in the middle of the night and listening to them.
Thanks again, Father! Wonderful teaching! Prayers 🙏🏼 As a kid, I always wished I could talk with the animals like St. Francis. I talk to my dog every day. He’s a good listener. 😆♥️
Thank you Fr Chris. 3quick stories relating to St Francis In 1997 I was on the Greek Island of Paros ( part of European backpacking trip)when I spoke to mother in Australia she was most concern after my welfare as my itinerary I left indicated I would be in Assisi. I said ..oh no we loveing it here so extended our stay in Greece why? Have you not seen the news? No There has been earth quakes there and part of the basilica has collapsed killing some priests & workers. I later check our original itinerary and we were due to visit Assisi and the Basilica that day.(fri27/9/1997) 2002 -My rosary’s had broken as I sat in the rear corridor of the basilica St Maria de Angels in Assisi. I thought how can I fix these? No sooner had I thought this, a white dove flew down from its nesting place in the hands of the statue of St Francis next to me. It started to peck down between the tiles quite deep and vigorously, it was unable to pull out the object but exposed it enough for me to see before flying back to the nest. I reach down and pulled out the teal object … a safety pin which I was able to use to fix my rosary. My wife and I visited Assisi and pestered to St Francis and St Clare to intercede for us that we might be blessed with another child ( have lost our first the year before) On our return home approx 4 weeks later we got news our prayers had been answered and not with trials and further intervention but our daughter was born 31/01/2003 we named her Clare. God bless
Thank you Fr. Chris... It was filled with knowledge about St. Francis of Assisi and the short stories and your reflection in life was so touching. Feel blessed to subscribe this channel..Pray for your Marian congregation 🙏👏🤗💯
Dear Father Chris thank you so much for this wonderful talk about St Francis. I love listening to you and have learned so much about my Catholic Faith. I pray for you and your family. I am sure that your heart is full of love ❤️❤️❤️❤️Many thanks ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you so much for these online explaining the faith videos. I'm a busy mom and I watch them all but never live. I'm eternally grateful. My 9 year old son watched the story you told about the flying monk and loved it!.God bless you.

Praying for those who have thumbed down 👎 this class. You are in need of our prayers.
Yes, you are absolutely right! Those who has ears but can not hear or understand, has eyes but can not see either. Must pray for them.
They are the protestan ,even in Spanish teaching they thumbed down …
My father was killed in a work accident when he was 41....I was 17.

Many Protestant Christians also greatly admire St Francis of Assisi.
Many Thanks Fr.Chris!God bless You and all Your Team❤.St Francis pray for us❤.Best Regards over from Lithuania 🇱🇹
Im starting to think God puts the same divine inspirations in all his people but we carry out his will in different ways. I just picked up a book on St. Francis this week, and Father comes out with a talk about St. Francis today! Coincidences are just a regular part of the catholic life. God bless you Father Chris! I offer up my daily rosary for you!
Thank you for sharing that....
Indeed we have to pray for the church and our Priests ...the devil prowls trying to tempt them...prayers for Fr. Chris are a welcome thing and i believe are received happily by God...🙏🙏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🌍🌍🌍
Divine providence
@@winebarimunsi4732 Thankyou and God bless
That is interesting. God speaks to us in different ways. I just watched the St Francis movie days back and had no idea the feast day is coming soon, and then I watched this too :)
The story of the sultan in the fifth crusade through St. Francis’s witness. Beautiful 🍃🌹🍃

Amazing talk! Thank you Fr Chris. Learned a lot again from you today. In the building that I work is St Francis-inspired. In front is a HUGE statue of St Francis & in the back building is the Tau cross. I see his statue everyday when I come in & when I leave work & talk to him &sometimes take selfies w/him, my Jehovah Wit coworker says I’m crazy😆… oh well. So honored to be in your “seminary”class again today. God bless you.
Thanks for sharing!
The Holy Spirit speaks through Father.
It is ok if we are crazy for the catholic christian faith but not crazy for other false christian faith

I enjoyed this story so much about St Francis. I'm learning listening to you Fr. Chris! Thank you🥰🌹🙏
Thanks for listening Annie and God bless you!
A beautiful talk; I love the stories-so fascinating I didn’t notice time! God bless you Fr. Chris.
I'm a returning Catholic. Your videos replenish my hunger for God during the week. God bless you and protect you. 🙏🏽
Thank you for watching with us and God bless you
Thank you Fr. Chris ❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏
Denver will be so blessed to have Fr. Chris. I wish i was there.
How I wish I could show this all explaining faith to our village when I go back to Philippines.... ❤❤❤
I really liked your seminary class about St. Francis. He's a good example of how we can all learn from saints no matter how many years/centuries ago they have passed away. It's understandable how you wouldn't be able to also talk about St. Therese of Lisieux, because of how much there was to talk about St. Francis. I hope that you get into talking more on the lives of the saints.
You are awesome Father! God grace is upon you today and always. Many thanks!
Thank you Theu and God bless you for joining us.
Keep the talks coming, i wish priest would tell us this at mass
Thank you Father Chris for the lesson on St Francis Assisi... ✝️💕
God blessed you Fr.Chris . I love all you talks thank you ❤ 🙏🏻
Fr. Criss Almighty God bless you abundantly for all the effort you are making to explain the Catholic faith. I was bought up as a Catholic but stopped following the obvious teachings because I had no knowledge of the deeper beliefs held by the Catholic church. Your lectures have enlightened me and now I feel compelled to come back home.Pleace don't give up for any reason.
Bless you Father. I enjoy your teachings, Saint Francis is near to my heart, and I love the stories you share. Thank You
Thanks for listening Cher. God bless
Fr. Chris, I really need some prayers because of the stress that I've been under. It feels as if I've been carrying one Cross after another and they just seem to be getting heavier and heavier. I explained my new crisis in the comments from last Friday's Mass. God bless now and always.
Yes, prayers for our Marian Helpers....
@Tara Milne I have been feeling the exact same way and then I ran across this quote, “Without the burdens of affliction, it is impossible to reach the height of grace, the gift of grace increases as the struggle increases” St Rose of Lima. Praying for you 🙏🏼🙏🏼😇
@@mekaqb6605 Thank you, MEKA QB, it is really appreciated. I have to get sprayed for the precautionary of bedbugs. The apartments beside me have bedbugs. Even though I don't have bedbugs and my apartment is a precautionary spray the stuff gets all over the place and when I return to the apartment six hours after being sprayed I have to clean most of the chemical from counters, furniture etc. I have mostly everything packed up that I don't want the chemical to land on. It's a bit of work. What I hate most about the chemical is that it clings to everything until it get washed off.
@@taramilne9465 wow that’s awful to deal with. I pray that all will be ok for you. We bought a used item and it gave us a cockroach infestation. I’ve tried so many things. I guess we have to keep our eyes on the big picture and say, Jesus I trust in you. I say this many times a day when I feel myself breaking down. 🙏🏼🥰😇
@@mekaqb6605 When dealing with cockroaches or even bedbugs there are two essential oils that they hate. Those two oils are Eucalyptus oil and Peppermint oil. In my opinion get them both in the bigger bottle because even though you use these oils by drops the bigger bottles (118 ml) will last longer. When I first dust my furniture I fill an all purpose spray bottle with water, a little vinegar and 10 drops of each of those essential oils. When i wipe up my floor i use the same combination but with hot water from the tap, a little vinegar and 20 drops each of the essential oils in your bucket.
When purchasing these two oils in the 118ml sized bottle it might seem very expensive but the last time I bought a big bottle of both was in Oct. of 2020 and I have only half a bottle of each. The best type of store to purchase the essential oils is a health food store because that's where you can purchase the bigger bottles for a much longer supply. When you see a cockroach and you have that solution in your spray bottle then grab the bottle, find the cockroach and spray it on the bug because they die instantly.
One of the best prayers that I like to pray when frustrated is called "Be At Peace" by St. Francis de Sales.
Father Alar is so cute. I'm about to convert....well, when I get myself motivated to drive to the Catholic Church and initiate it instead of winging it and studying the saints and the catechism at home basically watching Fr. Alar and Taylor Marshall, etc..... But I love these talks. I love falling asleep to them and waking up in the middle of the night and listening to them.
Father Chris, Excellent talk on our beloved St. Francis. We learned so much...and Especially enjoyed the story of Carol and the fox 🦊😇🙏✝️♥️
Thanks again, Father! Wonderful teaching! Prayers 🙏🏼 As a kid, I always wished I could talk with the animals like St. Francis. I talk to my dog every day. He’s a good listener. 😆♥️
But but but my little dog blessed in ⛪ and she died at 5 years old from antibiotic reaction. I prayed to St. Francis. Why did she die?
These classes are a treasure. God bless you, Fr. Alar!
You too Maria!
Thank you Fr Chris. 3quick stories relating to St Francis
In 1997 I was on the Greek Island of Paros ( part of European backpacking trip)when I spoke to mother in Australia she was most concern after my welfare as my itinerary I left indicated I would be in Assisi.
I said ..oh no we loveing it here so extended our stay in Greece why?
Have you not seen the news? No
There has been earth quakes there and part of the basilica has collapsed killing some priests & workers.
I later check our original itinerary and we were due to visit Assisi and the Basilica that day.(fri27/9/1997)
2002 -My rosary’s had broken as I sat in the rear corridor of the basilica St Maria de Angels in Assisi. I thought how can I fix these? No sooner had I thought this, a white dove flew down from its nesting place in the hands of the statue of St Francis next to me. It started to peck down between the tiles quite deep and vigorously, it was unable to pull out the object but exposed it enough for me to see before flying back to the nest. I reach down and pulled out the teal object … a safety pin which I was able to use to fix my rosary.
My wife and I visited Assisi and pestered to St Francis and St Clare to intercede for us that we might be blessed with another child ( have lost our first the year before)
On our return home approx 4 weeks later we got news our prayers had been answered and not with trials
and further intervention but our daughter was born 31/01/2003 we named her Clare.
God bless
