Includes answering such questions as is Christmas a pagan holiday? Is the Hail Mary Biblical? Do we worship Mary? and the difference between Mary and Zechariah.

I followed the rules nominally. Then all of a sudden the Holy Spirit tells me to go to a weekday Mass and conference and I witness an amazing priest FATHER CHRIS and by his words and prayer, my life is forever. Changed.

Look up to see if you have the Fraternity of Saint Peter in your area or the Sovereign Order of Christ the King. They have many locations around the world and the mass is always reverent and holy.

      I am blessed to live close to the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts where this was filmed. I joined the Catholic Church 33 years ago at the age of 27. The wonderful friends that I got to know told me all about the Shrine, the Divine Mercy Devotion and St. Faustina's Mission. Her Diary, Divine Mercy in my Soul, is my favorite book after the Bible. It gives the reader a glimpse into just how intimate our relationship is with Jesus and the Trinity. But most of all, Jesus pours His Heart out regarding how much He thirsts for Souls to TRUST HIM and how His Mercy truly IS unfathomable! 🥰 Practically every single sentence is amazingly mind-blowing 💥🤯.....

Only after they died, my mom found all the photos and the preserved poppies, given to all family members of all martyred military.🎖️ ✝️🛐🕊️🌿🕯️🌹 Thanks for letting me share his story; I grieve knowing so little about a man born during Lent or Holy Week.

    Fr Chris, by the passion in your voice today, it’s clear to me that God had other plans for you by switching the topic of today’s timely talk. The story of ‘Billy the Barber’ is the among first of your many stories you have told us throughout the years and it never gets old. Just as Mary gave the Angel Gabriel her ‘yes’ which change the world, your ‘yes’ ito the priesthood has changed the lives of countless Catholics around the world - including me. I’m sure you were a blessing to the men in Worcester today as you are always a blessing to all of us. May the Marian Helpers gathered here be given the grace to say ‘yes’ to God’s Will in their lives. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. 🙏

Unfortunately no one could explain Her to me. I read a book on Fatima as a young adult, my now husband took me to Mass. The rest is history. Mary is my confirmation name. I had no problem whatsoever on the teachings/dogmas of the Blessed Mother. Thank you, Father!!

    Fr. Chris, thank you for the most important topic you discuss on today’s feast :The Annunciation of the Lord . I gather some beautiful words which are of great value to me to imitate Jesus and Mary such as: the Will of God, obedience, Fiat, humility, simplicity, innocence and resignation. Their lives are the perfect model of holiness and purity, suffering and sacrifice and everlasting joy in the bosom of the Father.
    I remember the Church of the Annunciation in Israel during our pilgrimage some years ago. I couldn’t believe that I was actually there praying, meditating and cherishing the mystery of God’s condescension to humanity. How can I ever thank Him? Lord, help me to see your Holy Will in everything and not refuse you anything but your Will be done. God bless you always, Fr. Chris, and thanks to Bro Mark for the livestream. Prayers for you.

    OMGosh. What an awesome and excellent talk. I wish i had watched it on Saturday but i was at a lenten retreat at our parish convent. I didnt get to re consecrate to Mary but i did it on monday march 27th. I didn't realise all the Hail Mary is biblical. Thats amazing. Its such a shame the annunciation isnt a day of obligation. At least the immaculate conception is in the U.S. It isnt in England. Thank you so much for this talk. There are many protestants becoming catholic that i know so i will share your talk to them. Thanks so much and God bless you and immaculate Mary pray for you xxx

    Another wonderful presentation. Me too have been attacked spiritually by these protestants many times without reason . They simply enter in to your work place room and start the conversation by saying rosary is evilish. And its painful to hear those words. I have tried my best to make them understand luke chapter 1 and later I realized that these
    Protestants never wish to understand or accept Mary mother of Jesus . They love to interpret bible verses in their on reasoning thats pleasing and favourable to them in wordly affairs.
    A real quotation teams who quote or use bible verses inappopriately .
