The Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy: Why they are Mandatory - Ask a Marian 

Another great short video. I need to learn and practice 'bear wrong patiently'. Lord have mercy on me, a sinner. 🙏

Thank you Father Chris Alar for reminding and encouraging us to do what Jesus asked of us and Saint Faustina!! Diary #742 🥰💗 Deed. Word. Prayer. I love you Saint Faustina! 💓 All for love of the Lord! ❤️ God bless you always Father 😇✝️💜

I'm in and join in your request from God on a daily act of mercy

Thank you, Father Chris! I’ve learned to never underestimate the power of a smile, as it can give someone encouragement to carry on in a difficult time, even if it’s a total stranger. We don’t know what cross that person is carrying.

Let's all do these acts of Mercy!!!!

🌹Little acts of mercy 🌹not so little

Thank you Fr for sharing with us about the acts of mercy. I resolve to do so!

Thank you Fr. Chris, sometimes I cannot fast on Friday, because usually that is the time to bond with friends, or family, so I thank God instead for all His bounty that He provides, while enjoying the food and fast on other days. I offer my thanks for the people who does not thank God.

Thanks Fr Chris finally I know who Giuseppe is , a really good looking guy.

Thank you Fr. Chris for always teaching us with much love, joy, passion and wisdom! I have learned so much from your talks! God bless you and all MIC Family! Thank you cameraman Guiseppe! You are awesome! God bless you!

Thank you for everything you do Fr. Chris, I really appreciate it!

God bless you Fr. Chris! Something I've done since I was a child (I'm now 50) is whenever i pass a cemetery or funeral home I make the sign of the Cross and say, "Jesus, Mary and Joseph I love you, please save souls." I've taught that to my 4 daughters from when they were little. Now, I work in a funeral home and every time I work I pray for the souls of those in our care.

Have a blessed day

Fr Chris, your words always inspire me towards a more spiritual way of living

My husband and myself going back to no meat Friday , thank you so much for reminding us of these acts of Mercy. I am going to help at a homeless shelter, run by Catholic charity. I already help at LifeHouse ; a home for pregnant homeless Moms. I love it.

Thanks Father Chris! I have been doing this every day since last Saturday. Now- I am constantly on the lookout every day to complete my work of mercy! God bless you and have a safe trip to Chicago.

Thanks to you Father Chris for suggesting to do acts of Mercy this past Tuesday during Mass, because coincidently on that day I had terrible time dealing with my sons. However, I decided instead of being angry at my teenage sons for their rude behaviors earlier that day, I decided to perform an act of Mercy by making a tasty dinner along with saying grace and having a civil conversation. Overall, they were grateful, thanking me for providing them with a nice meal and calm conversation. Thanks to you I am living Devine Mercy and now I have been able to overcome feelings of anger and hurt. Father Chris, you are a great mentor, thank you again for all your hard work!

Thank you, Fr. Chris. Prayer can move mountains!

Thank you Father your topics are always so timely and on point. God Bless.

Thank-You Father Chris. You truly are an INSPIRATION!!!!

Thank you Father Chris for all these videos. Thank you Lord Jesus for placing in Father Chris’s heart for this video🙏🏻 The other day I was just thinking and asked our Blessed Mother and our Lord Jesus what else can I do to please the Lord and today I see this video. The Lord is so good to us and so merciful and always caling out to us to join him. I am definitely in and I’ve saved this video to watch every day for inspiration.

God bless us Amen.

Amen! Prayers for all the world 🙏🙏🙏

Thank you God Bless

I would love some pamphlets to put out at church to help others learn and pass on how to do works of Mercy.

Thank you Fr.Alar for trying to help save the world! May God bless you abundantly always! And yes I am a Marian helper 😉 (if you ever need an extra hand for anything and I’m available I would love to help you!)

I get it now! We are saved by faith in Christ, but not by faith ALONE, for faith without works is dead. But then that begs the question: What works? Not works of righteousness that we have done (observing the Law/works of the Law), rather salvation is by faith in Christ which works itself out in charity; "for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me." As St. Paul said, "The righteous shall live by faith." Now THAT is salvation! 😇 For by grace you have been saved through faith; and not of yourselves. It is the gift of God- not of works, lest any man should boast. For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them. (Ephesians 2:8-10)

Hi. Fr. Chris❤️

Sometimes I don't know how to "evangelize" to non-catholics without blatantly being forceful. For example, one of my friends is a non-Catholic, and is either Protestant or non-denominational. He respects that I'm Catholic it seems, but I don't really know how to basically say "Hey! Catholicism is the true faith, you should really look deeper into it!" in a way that doesn't come off as blatantly aggressive. Do I encourage him for seeking Christ, even if he's not Catholic? Or by encouraging him, am I doing something wrong because I'm reinforcing his non-Catholic status and enabling it? Ultimately, I want to help bring others to the Catholic faith, but I have a hard time finding the line between evangelizing and forcing my views. Sometimes, I don't even know where to start!

Corporal act of mercy e.g., to bury the dead.

I am doing the nicest thing ever! Jesus showed up in my bedroom when I cried out to him asking why he gave me a miracle! I was asking why he saved my life I was a Catholic for 64 years. He told me to research the Catholic Church. I am here to tell you in love that you need to research the Catholic Church! Look up Constantine! I pray you follow up on this. Jesus told me I was chosen to work for him in yhrsr end days!! He told me to reach out to the Catholic people! I am praying for you!❤️

Ok Fr. got me I shall do this and watch the video again and again I do some of these things but didn't name them or ask anything for them is that called humility or just not knowing 🤔🕊🙏💫👱‍♀️💖

Hi Father Chris, is it possible to post the Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy information in an online file that can be downloaded? This will help those of us who live outside the US to have them on-hand. God bless you and all the Marian priests and Helpers! Gaby

Fr. Chris are there other works of mercy that someone like me can do apart from those already listed?

All aborted babies ✝️ souls are saved Peace ☁️🕊️✝️🌹💦

Father, Are you still selling a blessed image of Divine Mercy? If so how can I get one? God Bless

Thank you For. Chris for the enlightenment. Just want to ask something...is it possible to have a sign language for the deaf community? My daughter is one and kept asking me what is this all about. Thanks again and God bless.

Is it available digitally?

What do I say to Mormon missionaries who knock at my door and want to talk to me about the LDS Church? I would find it interesting to engage them in a comparison between the Catholic Church and the LDS Church. They are generally very nice and good people to interact with.

I have a question, from what I know wearing leggings are a sin, would I need to admonish the sinner even if I don’t talk to that person that much who is wearing them as an act of spiritual mercy?

I have a question. If I consecrate myself to Mary can I still ask for the intersession of the saints?

👀Look out Giuseppe 😂👀👀👀

I’m a cradle Catholic…and a very disgusted one. The only thing I still believe in is the Eucharist. Growing up…it was salvation one minute…hell the next. I no longer trust or love the Catholic Church but I’ll always love Jesus. I think there are a lot of things in the Catholic Church that aren’t biblical.
