Are You Saved? The Sacraments - Explaining the Faith 

I’ve learned more in the past 8 months about my Catholic religion than I have in 12 years of Catholic school. Thank you for the food for the soul. These videos have brought me closer in love to God and Mary and the saints. Thank you and please never stop these videos.

Love this priest's soft-spoke yet powerfully intelligent way of presenting the faith!!

When people ask me if I have been saved I give them this: Yes, I HAVE been saved..I AM being saved...and I HOPE to be saved!

I’ve learned so much from Father Chris. Thank you for teaching us about the catholic faith. I am obsessed ❤

Heavenly Father please help father Chris to face the challenges as he is the instrument of God and he is helping us to make our life simple and not complicated,Father please enlighten people all over world to grow in faith and not to misunderstand the concept

I hope that all catholic priests explain our catholic faith And encurage to read the bible daily

In the middle of the talk, I paused the video and finally asked my dad to become Catholic.

Amazing grace to hear and to receive the sacraments.

Thank God for being born a Catholic

Come Holy Spirit fill the hearts of your faithful and kindle in them the fire of your love

Fr. Chris, thank you so much for all this very important catechism you give us! I’m sorry that you get letters from people who twist your words, even if it’s done innocently. I hope you never get discouraged because we need you! You are doing good work! God bless you!

Father Alar, keep repeating..... we need people to not misunderstand your message about our beautiful Catholic Fairh❣️🌹🙏 it is a lot of tremendous work on your part by sharing these truths! People need not to misunderstand by taking something you said and misunderstanding.. especially, when they are not Catholic and are looking to understand our Faith. May God richly Bless You Father I am a cradle Catholic and look foreword to each and every Saturday talk. I myself am hearing things I had not known or was taught. THANK YOU 🙏🌹

Thank you Fr. Chris I always look forward to your teachings on Saturday's as I always learn so much about my faith. 🌹🌷❤️

Thank you Father Chris! God Bless you and the Marian family. Explaining the faith have brought so much enlightenment to me, my family and whoever I had convinced to watch your talks regarding our Catholic faith. You made us love, understand and depend our Catholic faith more than ever. God's mercy and grace continue to protect you and all the priests and brothers.

Thank so much Fr. Chris explaining about seven sacraments whether we are true Catholics or not we still belong to Jesus Christ. You are a great teacher explain us the truth in Jesus to get closer to God. Thank you for this Series we always learn something new. 😇🕊🙏✝️🛐🕯

Thank you so much Fr. Chris Alar for the important messages to enlighten our understanding about the importance of the sacraments and nourish our faith in Jesus Christ. This topic about baptism is my assignment in catechism class

I am in the formation for the ministry of the diaconate. I have studied for 2 1/2 years, my wife got I’ll with cancer and I had to step out of the program. We are now awaiting for the next formation to continue , although it has been postponed due to Covid. I want to thank you Father Chris Alar, for my continued education. God has placed you in my life for a reason. God Bless you!!

I am so thankful to be brought into the Catholic Church. God is so good.

Thank you Father Chris. I pray God’s mercy for my grandchildren not baptized. They live in non-Christian areas, far from me, which makes this difficult. Solange, Washington DC January 22, 2023

Thank you Fr. Chris. Our Catholic Church is so full of wisdom and beauty. I pray for the people who misunderstand you that the Holy Spirit will illuminate their heats and minds to understand what you teach. You pour your heart and soul into these talks and I appreciate it very much and most do as well!

I thank God for giving the gifts of the Sacraments. Indeed, he will give us all possible way for us to be saved.

How great is our Lord to give us the Catholic Church! Thank you Fr. Chris for teaching us about the Sacraments! We need this grace! Awesome and amazing is our God of Divine Mercy! Praying for Fr. Seraphim! 🙏🏼 God bless all the Marians! You give and give and give us from the depth of your hearts! I have a grateful heart! 🙏🏼

Abba Father i thank you for getting me connected with Father Chris as i would get to grow mor in faith each day

Your energy is remarkable! Thanks for being a light in this dark world. Continue to do God’s work and surrender to his will.

I have struggled with my relationship with Mary. You, Father Chris, have eased that with your teaching. Many, many thanks. I'm building an authentic relationship with Mama Mary!!!

As a convert in 2013 I was privileged to have an excellent RCIA experience. We were taught primarily by a priest from the order of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary, by Father Craig MacMahon. It was very orthodox and true teaching of the church so much of what Fr Chris teaches is familiar to me, and straight from the Catechism, as I have read for myself. You can trust anything that Father Chris teaches. I run into so many people who are Catholic that really don't know what the church teaches. It is more than 'empty rituals' everything has meaning and is straight out of scripture when it comes to the tenets of our faith.

Father please help me to daily grow in God's faith so that being single parent may I live a life of holiness to raise my daughters

Heavenly Father please enlighten people to understand and love and respect Father Chris as they are doubting father as he is God's servant

There's so much to learn about the Sacraments I ought to have known. Thank you very much Rev.Fr.Chris for your enlightening message. God be with you and your congregation always Amen... Bangalore India, 25/7/21

amazing stuff!! thank you for taking me/us to seminary :) i'm learning so much from these Saturday's!! see you at 3pm for First Saturdays!! God Bless you Fr. Chris!! Always praying for you!!

Awesome talk Fr. Chris. I love it when you inject humor and backstory to illustrate a point. Thank you for taking the time to do these talks to help us understand the Catholic faith better and grow spiritually.

I had a really good non-Catholic (baptized) Christian friend who I asked if they had baptized their kids? She said she is going to let them decide wether they want to be baptized when they are older. I ask, why? She said she wants to give them the choice of what religion they want to be. I couldn't believe it.. I asked her, do you believe in your heart that your religion is the correct one? She replied, of course! So I said, Then why wouldn't you want your children to be in the correct religion? Why are you giving them the chance to be led astray? I could tell something in her head clicked. Kind of like oh yeah that makes sense! But then she jumped back to what her church had taught "children are innocent, they don't have sin. So they don't need to be baptized" 💔 I wish I had the knowledge back then that I do now from watching Fr. Alar's videos. God bless 🙏❤️💙🙏💪

Thanks so much father Chris for your teaching, love your excitement presenting all your teachings

Blessed be God forever. ✝️🙏✝️ 🕊 🌹🌹🌹 Thank you Fr. Chris 🎶❤️🎶

I am very happy that you are taking the time to put these lessons together. It is a lot of information. Father, I’m sorry people are complaining about something they thought you said. All they have to do is listen to it again, lol. Also, unfortunately, some people like to complain. You are doing an outstanding job!! No complaints from me. We are truly blessed to have you!! God Bless You!!🙏🙏🙏🙏

Father Chris Alar thank you for your insight and inspiration in details for the topic: -Are You Saved? The Sacraments.

I was Baptize 40 days old and love being a Catholic. God Bless you all.

With everything going on in the world and church this is refreshingly welcome!

Thank you! Fr. Chris! I love the way you bring it all down to earth✌🏼

Praise and thank God for the gift of Fr Chris. I truly enjoy and feeling blessed following Fr Chris talks via Explaining the Faith session every Saturday.

Thank you father for bringing out the message in such a beautiful way. We are yet to grasp in all our Lord has in stored for us. Following his words and receiving the sacraments is what we Catholics were called to do. Blessings to all and my the Lord guide all that my need him.💗

Fr. Chris you greatly blessed by our King of Divine Mercy because whenever I pray to God to teach me about our catholic faith.. Your video appears without even searching. I am with MIC from 1 month and see and join your programs that my soul wishes for. You are blessed and the credit of winning my soul for Christ goes to you🤗👏🙏💯

Thank you Father Chris! You are awesome!!!

God bless you Father I don't know what people would do with our your teachings. Amen" Happy Easter !

I so appreciate you bringing us all back to seminary. You are so blessed by God with your articulation about our faith. You are one of my favorites priest to listen to and learn from. May God bless you and all your brothers 🙏🕊️🙏🌹🌹🌹

You are a great teacher, Father Chris. After your talks I went to confession and been trying not to offend God again

Beautiful explanations Fr .Chris. I am so happy listening to you.

As usual Father another helpful talk! Thank you and very grateful for all your lessons! 😊

Thank you Father , that was beautiful !

Thank you Fr.

Thank you so much Fr. Chris, I better get my son soon to be 5 now.

Well explained Fr. Chris best education I receive about the Catholic Church. Thank God for you always. No need to go to school.

God bless you, Father Chris, for a great explanation of the Sacraments. I admire your zeal & enthusiasm.

Amazing talk, Father Chris! I am learning alot with all the talks and share it to my mom and family and mom enjoy listening to us smiling ear to ear. Finally after years of prayer we are listening. 😊😊😊

There has been so much talk about the illumination of conscience possibly coming soon and I remember talking with my family about how important it is that we receive the sacraments. I have recently come back to my faith and realize now how important they are that I try to go to confession at least monthly and receive communion as often as I can. However, when I talk with my family who have all been brought up Catholic and their response is that if you are a good person and treat people with kindness that is all you need. I feel like even practicing Catholics do not realize the power of the Sacraments but I didn't either until I was given the grace to see it. I also have been on the other end of it when encouraging other members to baptize their children as soon as possible that it is their child not mine. Thanks for affirming my belief that pushing for others to get baptized regardless of response

Fr. Chris, thank you for the inspiring talk about the Sacrament. It was extremely informative. God bless! 🙏🙏🙏

Father thank you for teaching me . 🙏 please don’t stop . I truly needed this . I have been lost an in need of our faith to be understood. Again thank you father . God bless you an protect you an your guardians 🙏.

Fr Chris rightly said,you are enlightening me with God's wisdom

Heavenly Father please help my children in their studies and remove all the evil with them

Abba Father please take care of your people that they are moved by unwanted things but to place their trust and belief in God's servant

The superiors should know a lot of evil people will write letters just to troll. God bless you Father, for addressing the topics many run from just to keep from dealing with the ignorance you contend with

It's awesome listening father Chris - thank you!😊✝️

Heavenly Father i thank you for making me connected to Father Chris as it helps me to grow me closely to God

Thank you Father for your teaching

Frequenting the sacraments of the Catholic Church (mainly baptism, Eucharist , Penance and Extreme Unction) is the path to salvation after death Christ opened the gates of Heaven to mankind via the Sacraments

Than you so much Fr Alar! I ❤

"AMEN-AMEN" Thank You: Dear God for another fresh year of Blessing from Daily Jesus Devotional ❤😇☦🙏🙏🙏🙏✝😇💙

Heavenly Father please give courage and strength to father that he may carry his role efficiently,praise and thanks to heavenly Father to have you Father as our guide

I have a friend that did not baptize her children, she told me that she wanted it to be their choice. I asked her how would they be able to choose, if they did not have a foundation of faith. As humans we are always seeking something to believe in, belong to. Perhaps lack of foundation is the reason that Cults exist.

Glory and Praise be to the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit for Thine is the Kingdom the Power and the Glory now and forever.. Amen ..Forever grateful to you Fr. Chris!🙏 your talks magnify our Apostolic Catholic Faith that makes us more convinced that God is, Who was, Who is to come... all hardcore faithful Catholics are empowered to spread the faith with love and courage to defend the Truth.. May the Gracious Loving God, bless you and keep you in body, mind, and soul and all Faith seminars in youtube...

Excellent Catholic Teacher of these strange times! God bless him and his ministries!

Yes repetition is needed. Thanks for your teaching. Religion 101

That was awe-inspiring, Fr Alar. God bless you

No other word, just awesome!! Thanks so much For Chris. Always looking forward to your talks. Learned so much from it. God bless and protect you.

Heavenly Father i thank you for everything that you have blessed me with and I look forward that you would bless me with more grace

Good morning Father

You're awesome an awesome teacher Father Chris.I learn so much from listening to your wonderful teachings about our beautiful and holy Catholic faith.Thankyou and God bless all of our priests and religious ❤ 😀 you 🙏 🤲

Inspiring as the late Bishop Fulton S. Sheen.

This was a timely video for me. It popped up not long after my protestant friend asked me if I was saved not knowing that I'm devout Carholic. Your presentation has helped me properly witness to my friend. Thanks Fr. Chris!

Wow. So much I have yet to learn about our Catholic religion. Father Chris, these talks of yours are so helpful. Thank you and God bless you for taking the time to do these. I am taking notes!

Wonderful teaching!!! Very beautiful 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

This talk is so inspiring, my eyes, ears, are praising God for my faith.

If people were to understand the power of the blessed sacraments, I believe everyone would become catholic in an instant, without thinking it twice. It compares to making the choice of swimming in a deep ocean with or without a floating device.

Father i m from India I listen to preaching of other country as i like it

Heavenly Father my message to the people all over us to focus to live in Godly manner rather be curious of what others say and do
