Fr Chris I think that we are being prepared for the spiritual battle to come for our Lord Jesus Christ who died on the cross to save us from our sins. I thought I was living a good enough life spiritually, but o my God I definitely wasn't God has sent you to fill in the missing bits and I don't think I'm on my own on that one . God bless you fr Chris you have strengthened my faith. ( Dermot from ireland )
Thank you Dermot for joining us and yes, we need to pray especially during these times. God bless you for following your faith and bless all those in Ireland!
Fr Chris, you said catechism # 393 says, there is no repentance for the angels after their fall as their is no repentance of man after death. Fr Chris, my question is, what is this praying for the souls that are in the purgatory? Can you explain it further? They can't repent cause they're already dead?
Purgatory are for souls that have died in a state of grace and have repented for their sins while still on earth. Purgatory is a place of preparation to meet God because even after repenting, we need to be purified from attachments. God bless.
I'm just a Protestant, but this is like water in the desert! That last prayer is my prayer from the last year-I don't want to be angry or intimidated! Thank you, Sir!
Thank you for joining us and welcome! God bless you on your faith journey. Please let me know if you have any questions about our faith. Know your in our prayers.
Tk you Father for helping us to see more clearly and to remember and know our great Catholic faith in the area of spiritual battles. And what those battles are like. And then how to fight this battle...with God, Mary, all the Angels and Church teachings. So we can believe more strongly and win this battle!
You were led here by God Himself. This was not an accident. Welcome and may God bless you on your journey to Him. I left the Church for about 10 years and came running back to the fullness of Truth. I searched for Truth during those years and kept coming up short. Then I found a great priest who helped me know Truths. Pray and ask God to lead you. And follow that. You'll know Truth.
@@kokwingwang1824 absolutely. Our Lady has given us a powrful weapon against Satan. Use it even more than once a day if possible. And wear her scapular for personal protection.
To use the vernacular of my youth- “this is the bomb”. These talks should be broadcasted everywhere; played at every RCIA and Catechism class. I am sharing it everywhere!!!!!!!thx
Dear Michael, thank you very much for watching and for helping us to spread the important messages of our Faith. God bless you and we are keeping you in prayer.
Thank you Fr. Alar. I can’t express enough gratitude of all you do. May God always protect, bless you, all the Marian fathers and all the priests through out the world. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️✝️✝️✝️✝️✝️
This working from home has given me the blessing of finding you here, and helping me understand and fall in love with the Catholic faith. I can listen all day. Thank you 🙏📿✨♥️🕊✝️
Thank you Fr Alar for your passion in teaching us of the truth of good and evil. May the Holy Spirit continue to enlighten you to spread knowledge of what we need to know to love God more and serve Him. May the Lord bless you and your congregation and protect you from all evil through the Immaculate Heart of Mary🙏
Please may I give you my testimony. I was living a sinful lifestyle for many years. On one particularly bad night, I believed I was going to die. In the depth of my despair, I asked Lord Jesus for forgiveness and to my surprise He answered me. Lord Jesus instructed me to do the Jesus Prayer to develop a closer relationship with him and to fight spiritually. LORD JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON ME A SINNER.
God bless all of you father may He guide and may you continue your ministry to guide the people and all our fellow men in Jesus name amen GOD IS ALWys number one ...
❤️ ❤️ ❤️ this! I will need to re-watch and re-watch. St. Faustina is such a fine saint to guide us in these days. God bless and protect those who give this video a thumbs down. Pray for their salvation.
Thank you so much for your talks they help me tremendously as someone with a chronic illness and please pray for me for mercy and strength to carry my cross with love, patience and virtue.
Fr. CHRIS.. I'm from Mumbai, India. I started to listen to your talks rather late. Now I listen to the recordings. Your talks are simply great. I have learnt a lot. I am ever thankful to God for leading me to discover them. I just cannot stop listening to you. I do it on my mobile and cannot put it down. Thank you. I pray for grace that these talks will make a difference to and in my life. Please pray that the virus in India will be eradicated soon.
I have a aunt who my family had to have a priest come and observe her as she was showing very concerning behaviors.... too many to list here but bottom line the priest came after observation stated she showed signs of demonic oppression, but also mental illness. I keep her in prayer.
Praying for your health. I have written your name in my prayer book to help me remember you. Please Almighty Father, heal your servant as only You can Lord. Please give him comfort and peace. In Jesus’s name. Amen
Father, so good and appropriate for our time right now. Thank you for your teaching us what we need to know to keep a healthy soul. You and all priests are in my husband's and my prayers.
Bless you and thank you Fr. Chris Alar for doing this kind of teaching to bring more understanding for all lost souls. May God forgive my sins and have mercy on me.
Thank you Father' Lord God we entrust to you everything 💓 Give us the strength for this spiritual warfare. Give us courage. Deliver us 🙏 and guide us amen Prayer for transformation of your people.
God Bless you, Father Chris! I have been following these Saturday talks for a while now and they are so helpful and enjoyable. Thank you for your ministry! You are changing lives!
dear lord... please bless the man for whom I'm praying. one of the most evil men living. please lord touch his soul & save him. please reveal the fullness of your truth to him. please don't let him go to hell... amen. this man is a neighbor of mine. please everyone ... pray for him! & his friends.
Ha! Ha! Ha! “ We are all busy bodies .” I appreciate your talks ! Thank you . You have a great sense of humor ! “Don’t be scared just be prepared . “ Amen ! And yes , this is serious . 🙏🏻
Thank you Father Chris thank you for enlightening all of us nonstop please don't get tired of doing what you do. I'm watching you from Canada. God bless you. And may He protect you from the evil one.
Father Chris you explain these Truths so well, thank you! I have been a Catholic 7+ decades and have been discouraged these past few years with all the changes in the church Liturgy and Scandals...your teaching of Traditional Catholicism has helped me beyond words!💕
All these talks about Spiritual Warfare is so good as Fr. Chris Alar explains everything so well. And the best one that I am taking in all these lessons is about the enemy being afraid of our Holy Mother Mary. That's why the new Christian religions are teaching everyone in their Congregations that they have to set aside Mother Mary and that she is only human. She doesn't have power and no authority at all to intercede for us nor be involved in the slavation of mankind. If they only knew that Mother Mary is the Queen of Angels and is given a recognition by God the Father & the Son Lord Jesus Christ to pray for us and intercede on our behalf. Mama Mary Pray for Us All. Thank you.🙏😇❤🥰🌏👨👩👧👦💑👼🌺🌸
Great Sermon. I listen to every video during evenings. It has made me realise I need to go to church and have a confession. Be more sprirituallty strong. Will keep all the Marian fathers in my prayers
Father Alar, THANK YOU.. I missed the live version of this weeks. But just watched this powerful talk. PLEASE keep doing these. I feel like there are not many priests that speak the TRUTH these day, out of fear of offending people... God truly is working through you!! I will pray for you and priests who are in a war these days. BLESSINGS
Thank you for the explanation Fr Chris. It took me awhile to listen to each talk as i have to write notes (There is soooo much of information ! 😊) Please continue to teach us every saturday. I understand my faith much more than i did before the pandemic. 🙏
We must pray in the secret of our minds every minute of the day. And even against the will, when we first wake up in the middle of the night. God always listens to the prayers of the unworthy
@@DivineMercy_Official Father, I have two doubts uncleared and confused till now, I would be very blessed if You could bring it up in any of your upcoming talk's if you think it's worth it! One is when is actually the sabbath day? some say it's Saturday and some Sunday (With proofs showing the early Catholic church had made Sunday the sabbath- I may be wrong, Need your guidance in this please) and my second question is, why is only the Body(Host) been distributed and not the Blood(Wine) at the eucharist in the mass for the congregation? or is it only in my place they do this?
Thank you Angelina. In Christianity we refer to Sunday as "The Lords's Day" because it is the day of Resurrection. The Jews maintain the "sabbath" which is Saturday. As for the Host and Precious Blood, both fully contain the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ so if you only receive the Host you are not lacking. God bless.
Thank you Fr. Chris for your presentation. I often suffer from scrupulosity, which seems to be a very common attack the "evil one" causes, especially to the faithful. Please pray for me and others who suffer from this horrible condition. Thanks. God Bless!🙏
Fr. Chris Alar and your team. We thank you for the gift of teaching That you shared for us. This is such an enlightenment for my family, keep doing GODS work to reach out and teach us, it helps our faith get stronger as we listen to GODS words. Thank you Father. God Bless you and your congregation. We love you all.
Many thanks father Chris Alar for your effort to teach us all about our faith, and especially about this topic. Not many priests in my country are willing to talk about it.Greetings from Spain.
Dear Father you proposed the spiritual director I wish to have one all of my life. Unfortunately I live in France in the small mountain village. Our church is open few days a year. I asked the faithful why? The bishop won’t send priests over us. We had one priest who live 25 minutes from our village and he refused to come as he thinks it’s far. Could you imagine that father? We go from one village to other to find an open churches. By the grace of God I am still alive spiritually. My poor kids learned from my poor understanding about God but it’s Him who teaches us all about Him no one else. Tears in my eyes. Spiritual director is a luxury for us. I am trying now to propose the priest to allow us to do adoration once a week so that we accompagné the Lord as He is alone locked in that church. All what I wish is for the Kingdom of God to come as quick as possible. We are suffering 😢 May God reward you for your beautiful teachings. Bernandeth Randall from France 🇫🇷
Dear Bernandeth, wow.... I am sorry to hear that. I keep praying for France, the First Daughter of the Church, that the faith will come back. There are prophecies that say a great leader of France will still come and ignite the Faith in your land. While that is only private revelation, maybe it can give you some hope. In the meantime, please pray for that priest and bishop to bring you Christ in the Eucharist. God bless you and know you are in my prayers.
Divine Mercy Thank you dear Father for your prayers may God reward you. I am always praying for our Bishops and priests and I will continue to pray. I trust God that He will not leave us orphans. God be with you and use you for His Kingdom to come 🙏
God Bless you for this most important, and timely instruction - these are precarious times. I believe the more we pray to safeguard our souls, the more we are tempted and tested. I can watch news items or knitting videos any time without a hitch, but when I listen to your talks or any of my Catholic channels, it’s endless buffering or other odd technical interference to discourage me. It took me 3 hours, but I watched it all 🙏🏻. I continue to pray for you, Fr. Alar, and all priests for strong vocations with my daily rosary and chaplet, knowing that priests are particularly vulnerable to Satan’s hatred. Thank you!
@@DivineMercy_Official Father, thank you. Everything you said is true and I had to learn it the hard way, searching and finding. One of the prayers that I pray is the Auxilium Christianorum for priests and members every day because I know the weapons of our warfare are not carnal. Everyone is important in this battle. Though I am not much, I do know that a day without prayer is a big loss. I did not know that you were ill. I will add you to my prayer intentions for a lifetime. Thank you for using the great teaching gift that God has given to you. I know you are humble and probably don’t know it, but you are helping a lot of people. If only these things were taught all the time, I think there would not have been so many who have such doubts that God exists, and that He loves us, and that it is good to visit home in Heaven every day through prayer, because He is our home, our loving Father, and our love. God bless you and prosper you in His grace thank you. One more thing, your talk wasn’t too long. Our hearts yearn for more. And I really appreciate your great sacrifice of physical discomfort that you so joyfully endured to give us this talk, though your mouth was bleeding. I’m sorry.
Fr. Chris, I am so happy that you always wear your collar as a way to invite anyone you encounter to ask for confession and/or prayer. I've mentioned previously that my Great uncle x4 is Blessed Domenico Lentini. This was his standard practice as he went about the countryside. Of course, in his day, he always wore his cassock but he was never impatient with or felt importuned by a stranger stopping him and asking for a blessing. Having lost my way for many years in the laxity of the Evangelical church, I am struggling to regain a devotional life. Please pray for me.
This series of talks on Explaining the Faith has been a tremendous help to me. Where else are we going to get so many lessons in one place distilled into the takeaways that we need? Thank you Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception! I pray for you
Eternal Father in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ please grant that Justice and righteousness will prevail over the elections in America Amen
No Father, Thank You for being a good priest and bringing our LORD to us. May GOD bless you most thoroughly. May GOD also bless your parents for being good parents and giving you a good upbringing. 🙏🏻♥️
Fr. Syquia is the chief exorcist of the Archdiocese of Manila. Whenever he gets asked to have a talk about Spiritual Warfare, he says there would be times when he would get lost on the way to the talk, or sometimes, there would be tech problems. He says this usually happens when he forgets to ask for Mary’s intercession. 🙏 Thank you, Fr. Alar 🙏
Testimony: When my wife was dying, I said Divine Mercy Chaplet at her bedside when she was waking at 3 am, where in hospice, and previously would need EMS intervention to sleep again. Now after the third recitation, she slept peacefully until she passed 3 hours later. The Chaplet was the key to her peaceful transition to death.
You are simply amazing Fr. Chris. May the Blessed Trinity shower you with more wisdom and courage to teach us our faith. I will be praying for you fervently and all the priests🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Father Chris you didn't go for too long, The words of wisdom and salvation is a blessing to all who hear and heed your message, may God Bless us all and protect and guide us along our road to heaven, Amen
Thank you Maria, we appreciate that. I try to be brief but God's gifts to us are endless and we try to share as much as we can. Thank you for understanding and God bless.
@@DivineMercy_Official I am so glad I've found The Divine Mercy channel on RU-vid..love and prayers from Sydney Australia my little town is Warrawong one hour south of Sydney
Thank you. Finally, the Truth that I had to struggle and search all over for, is now given to us in this very special teaching. It confirms everything that I learned. I’m sharing this video. Thank you.

Thank you for making all of this possible. I always said."Lord, I have absolutely no idea how you are going to help me, I just know you will.". Lord, nothing is impossible with you. You can NEVER be out done on generosity. I praise and bless you but especially because You still loved and love me even after all I've done, You never abandoned me. You never left me. You always listened and still do to all of my problems and my joys, especially when you pull off something that truly is impossible and all you have to do is will something and Your will be done. Don't get me started on how beautiful and humble and so Pure, yet so mighty. Nothing and NO ONE refuses you my Lady. My Mama Mary. Thank you for loving me even after I chosen so many people and things over you. Mama, Jesus, I am sorry. Thank you for your mercy.

We thank you Dear Mother of God for our family. We thank You for all the blessings you have given us all the days of our lives. Thank you for our wonderful children. We feel so blessed. For their presence. Dear Jesus Mama Mary, and St Joseph pls stay wd us and protect us from all harm always
Father, Well explained and clarified all doubts. All adult Christians should hear this. Catholics especially. We are so blessed to have Mary and Jesus.
One of the Catholic priests that I knew years ago named Monsignor Douglas Clancy always said that every day is a new day for us Catholic Christians and yes, it’s true. But every day is a daily spiritual battle between good and evil. And here’s how I defend myself against the forces of evil by praying the Chaplet of Saint Michael the archangel. Praying this devotion is said to ask for Saint Michael’s divine intervention and pray that he’ll help us in our daily battles against Satan and his minions. But praying the Chaplet of Saint Michael is not the only Catholic Christian devotion that I pray. I also pray the Holy Rosary of the blessed Virgin Mary
I had a demonic problem and I found that by simply asking God in prayer He took care of them quickly. Cast all your cares on the Lord and He will protect you. Try not to speak to them or acknowledge them in any way and ask Mary to intercede for you if necessary. Don't show fear but be confident in Jesus
Thank you Father for all your works of taking care of the flock. You keep us alive, these programs are the lifeline for the faithful that cannot attend to our Churches regularly. May God rewards your efforts abundantly.🙏♥️🙏
Fr. Chris, you could never speak too long about these spiritual lessons, though it's good to stay humble and limited. I praise God for you, because you impart hope and the light of Christ amid a wicked world and say what many other priests and bishops don't dare mention. So, we pray for their courage, zeal, and love for the Truth.
Thank you Fr Chris for this beautiful message on Spiritual Warfare. It has brought light to many doubts and fears. I Praise and thank God for you Fr. Chris. May many be Blessed by this message.
Father you are wonderful! I love the topics you choose. I’m Catholic, born and raised. I am so grateful for the education my 8 siblings and I received not just in school but at home too. As a result I lean heavily on my faith. It’s automatic, it’s instinctive. I don’t know what people do without that kind of foundation. I thank you so much for covering the Angels.
Thank you Fr. Alar, another enlightening talk! God bless you more and always! Please allow me to say a prayer by St. Faustina: Heavenly Father, grant that our priests be strengthened and healed by the power of the Eucharist they celebrate. Protect them, guide them, and keep them in Your Heart. May the Word they proclaim give them courage and wisdom. We pray that all those whom they seek to serve may see in them the love and care of Jesus, Our Eternal High Priest, who is Lord for ever and ever. Amen.
Never heard the Gospel explained like this before 😯. It gives a deeper understanding to what God really did for us through Christ, his Son. I am so blessed by this talk! Thank you Fr. God bless you!
