Dear Father Chris, I want to thank you for such an outstanding and very thorough teaching about advent. I also enjoyed your explanation of the colors and the reason for the wreath as well. I decided this year to get an advent wreath and to start lighting the candle along with prayer time. I found it to be very symbolic and a great practice. Thank you again for this video. I totally forgot this was a time for penance and want to thank you because we want to be properly prepared. Amen!
Fr. Chris Alar thank you so much for these videos that you and your staff make. I truly can’t thank you enough on how informative they all are. May the Lord continue to bless you and your church so that we may all continue to benefit from your talks. God bless you Fr. Chris Alar.
I thank st Jude Thaddeus and our Heavenly father, the son, the holy spirit and all the angels, our blessed virgin mother Mary for their love and care for me, my dad, brother, sisters and my entire family. Amen

I also ask you to pray for Maria Y Ben to soon repay the debt.
Awesome. We are all taught the first of celebrating Jesus’s birth then get stuck there without understanding we are celebrating also the waiting of Christs return both of our heart and over the world, as the bride and bridegroom.

Dear Fr. Chris, I really appreciate all the teaching segments you provide. They vary in length and content, but always get at the root of the most important things. The topics are well chosen and your love and care for God's people is tangible, at least to me. God bless you and keep you.
Thanks be to God ✝️ my prayers are with you all this Advent season 🙏🏻 💒 🙌🏻 May our hearts burn deeper and radiate brighter for our Lord 🤲🏻💜💐🕯#GiftedToGive🕊🇵🇭 #WeGiveOurYes #500YOC
That is a beautiful meditation about the jars being empty and then Jesus filling them up! I wear a veil and wear purple during Lent/Advent except Laetare/Gaudatte when I have a pink one. Its a way to take a small part in the Liturgy.
Advent is my favorite liturgical season within the Catholic calendar. And in preparation for Advent, I have my battery powered Advent candles. So for each Sunday and week of Advent I light one candle at a time. And what does Advent mean to me? It's for me to prepare myself for the glorious second coming of Jesus Christ and his birthday and it gives me a opportunity to make sincere repentance for whatever I did wrong and hopefully do better in the future and make improvements for myself.
Many thanks! We tried to keep Advent Christmas & Epiphany distinct but of course interwoven. We tried to keep some Christmas observance thru the old Candlemas day, the Presentation/Infant Divine. It’s a far more meaningful season that way. I think more people would do it that way if only they understood.
Just Today I received a very special Card from Father Donald Calloway. The Genuine, Love and Mercy, He showed Me in that Card, gave Me the Grace to finally let go and move of on and spread the Message of Love and Mercy. If You see Father Calloway, please Thank Him for Me and tell Him I will Pray for Him and all Marian’s in Stockbridge. Lord Jesus Christ, Son Of God, Have Mercy On Me a Sinner. I Love Youball.
Convinced myself to run around With someone else to forget about you But I can't hold you responsible for the things I do I said your name by mistake Played it off like I'm just confused But I was frontin', lyin' to myself When I know the truth Was I missed you Yes, it's true I should've known not to let you go Let you go 'Cause I missed you Baby boo We could've grown if I held you close Held you close I hurt myself a hundred times Just to feel something in my soul I kept knocking even though I knew What's behind that door But then I heard you call my name And it sounded like the sweetest song You never moved on You were waiting for me all along Well, I missed you Yes, it's true Should've known not to let you go Let you go Well, I missed you Baby boo We could've grown if I held you close Held you close Well, I missed you Yes, it's true Should've known not to let you go Let you go Ohh, I missed you Yes, it's true I should've known not to let you go Let you go Girl, I missed you
I went to Catholic School for 8 years and I never learned this and to this day I have never heard my Bishop in my Diocese or Priest at my Church say anything about all of this ever.
Agree. Never heard this much in detail frm Fr. Chris abt Advent doh hv a few knowledge of Advent. May d Bl.Trinity thru Jesus, Mother Mary n St. Joseph gives us lessons of our Faith thru d Marian Fathers esply in short takes like 10 or 30 minutes videos dat are necessary n possible. God bless us all thru JMJ. Amen.
Father Alar, if one cannot go to confession and communion, what can a Catholic do, to replace it within the confines of our home. Thank you and may our Lord guide yoi always to continue your good work.
Father, why don’t the clergy and the lay people bow their heads at the name of JESUS? I was a child when I was taught the adoration to Christ, some 70 years ago, was imperative. I make the Sign of the Cross when I pass a Roman Catholic Church. I bend my knee when I enter the area of the Altar and when I leave the Church. I don’t bend at the waist. What is the reason for these changes as signs of adoration and respect to Our Lord? 🙏🏻✝️🙏🏻

Why is the virgin birth only mentioned in Matthew and Luke. It’s not mentioned at all in Mark or John. Even Paul doesn’t speak of it. Isn’t it important enough ?
There's no miracle mentioned in all four gospels other than the miracle of the multiplication of the loaves which foreshadows the Eucharist. So you could say this about just about any miracle of the Bible.
The Nativity scene? The Presepe? Every year even 50 years old turn back to childhood and set up a nativity scene. It was introduced by Saint Francis of Assisi!
The term woke is defined as the following: Just what Jesus taught, I believe. alert to injustice and discrimination in society, especially racism. "we need to stay angry, and stay woke" · [more]
@@thelmapickett9544 sorry Thelma but we cannot speak from our own authority. God gave the authority to his Church. Christ organized religion. He established the college of bishops by selecting the apostles, gave them authority through apostolic succession, established the chair of the papacy and put Peter upon it. Again, it's not our place to tell him he is wrong. God bless and keeping you in prayer.
Yes, God is always there for us.... but mostly in the Church. So please consider going to confession for the forgiveness guaranteed in the sacrament that Christ gave us in the Church. Keeping you in prayer. God bless.
@@DivineMercy_Official Thank you so much Father Chris for your response I will go to confession as soon as I can. I will also pray for you and your family and everyone Thank you and God Bless you Father Chris
Why are the synoptic gospels of Matthew and Luke so wildly different ? The nativity story in them are very contradictory. In Matthew Jesus is born in a House and in Luke he’s born in a manger. In Matthew after the birth Joseph , Mary and Jesus flee to Egypt. In Luke they go to Nazareth. Which one is correct ? They both can’t be right.
Actually they are both correct and there's no contradictions. They're just being told from two different perspectives. It's the same as if there was an accident with two different Witnesses who saw it and the same event in different ways.
In Matthew’s account, the wise men(Not three wise men) first traveled from the east to Jerusalem, not to the birth city of Jesus, Bethlehem. By the time they finally reached Bethlehem, Jesus was a “young child”-no longer a baby and no longer in a stable but a house.
Thank you, Father. Bonnie

Convinced myself to run around
With someone else to forget about you
But I can't hold you responsible for the things I do
I said your name by mistake
Played it off like I'm just confused
But I was frontin', lyin' to myself
When I know the truth
Was I missed you
Yes, it's true
I should've known not to let you go
Let you go
'Cause I missed you
Baby boo
We could've grown if I held you close
Held you close
I hurt myself a hundred times
Just to feel something in my soul
I kept knocking even though I knew
What's behind that door
But then I heard you call my name
And it sounded like the sweetest song
You never moved on
You were waiting for me all along
Well, I missed you
Yes, it's true
Should've known not to let you go
Let you go
Well, I missed you
Baby boo

Held you close
