I am 79 yrs old and am a recent Catholic. For the last four years I have been praying the Rosary and Divine Mercy daily without really knowing the magnitude of what I was doing. Listening to this has been so very humbling and I thank God. I will try to pray for priests and thank God for them daily 💕❤️

GOD BLESS YOU! Father Chris for exclaiming your project to help your mission.

Thank you and God bless you
I have learned more about being a Catholic from watching your videos than I remember ever learning in catechism or RCIA when I came back into the church when I was older and didn’t even know Confirmation was even a sacrament
I cannot be the only one who benefits from your videos Fr Alar And you have such a gift...not just your understanding and knowledge of the Catholic faith and what it means to be Catholic but your ability to convey your knowledge to the rest of us...You have truly been blessed abundantly by the Holy Ghost and I’ll go one step further and say that I believe you are the answer Our Lord God has given to us in answering so many of our prayers...I’ve pray for wisdom and understanding all my life and I know many of my brothers and sisters must have prayed those same prayers...Thank You And Thank You Jesus for answering those prayers🙏🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🕊🙏
Thank you Kitty for the truly kind words.... I am appreciative that you wrote to us so that we know we are reaching people and God is using us. This is all the grace of God but to be part of a family He brought together is awesome :) God bless you and we are glad you are here!
I completley agree with this as a cradle catholic my understanding is that of a 9 year old at times im embarrassed to say
Pray for the Church every day. Please pray for our priests and clergy. Thank you.
Yes, thank you Marci and God bless you.
Thank you Father for this great wisdom.Let us consecrate all the priests to Our Immaculate Mother Mary for her protection and l pray her mantle of protection and St Joseph's cloak cover all the priests in the body of Christ in holiness all the days of their lives.Amen
Amen Christine

Thank you for opening your heart to God's grace. God bless.

God Bless and thank God for you and the Marian community.🙏🙏🙏❤😁
Father very enlightening to us, Catholics,thank you ....Praying for all of you, Priests,,,God bless..
God bless all the Priests in our / my beloved Catholic church. I am so, so thankful for the brave men who become Priests to feed their sheep with the truth....such as Father James Altman and all the Priests like him. God bless and protect all His Priests. Thank you so much Father Chris Alar. Thank you so much for becoming a Priest.
Thank you Marjorie and God bless you. We appreciate you joining us.
Thank you, Fr Chris, again, for helping us understand about our Catholic Faith. Since I heard about your talk on priesthood the first time I watched/listened to this video series, I always go and “kiss” the priest’s hand (Filipino way is- we reach out and take hold of the hand of the priest (usually his right hand) and touch our forehead onto the back of the priest’s hand with a slight bow of our head). This is our way of giving him respect, a request for priestly blessing and thanksgiving for his service as a priest. Right now, I’d like to offer all our priests my “hand kiss.” Just know, that there are many of us who truly care and pray for you. May God bless you with everything that you need to continue with your blessed ministry🙏❤️🙏
P.S. Again, I am crying as I get emotional about this. True, without you, our blessed priests, we won’t be able to receive Jesus sacramentally. Without you, the consecration of the bread and wine will not happen. Without you, there is no Holy Eucharist, the food for our soul! Long live our Catholic priests🙏🙏🙏
Thank you so much Lyne and God bless you and all those in the Philippines!
Hi Father Chris it's so good to be a Marion. I would like to say that God is helping me and my Family. I thank God I awake everyday because there's so much Evil out there. He has saved me so many times. Amen I'm so Grateful.
Glad to have you with us Paul
@@DivineMercy_Official Thank you for your Prayers. God bless.
Thank you and God bless.
Thank you & "Amen"
Thank you for your prayers for me and my Godson. Although I am watching this after he is buried and this was recorded I don't know how long ago, I believe I can count your dedication for victims as prayers for us. We unfortunately qualify. Thank you Father Chris.
I offer my prayers everyday for the National Shrine of Divine Mercy .
I offer every morning my prayers for all priests. Especially the ones that fall in their priesthood. . Divine Mercy please help all your priests. 🙏.
Thank you, Father Chris! Your explanation and details are wonderful and your enthusiasm is a sign of God's presence in you! Thank you for answering God's call to be a priest! You are in my prayers!

Everyday I pray for all our priests, without the priests there’s no Holy Eucharist and other Holy Sacraments of the catholic church
Thank you Tess for the prayers and prayers for you too. God bless.
I agree with you, Tess. 🌹🌹🌹
Thank you Father! I enjoy your teachings very much! I watch them many times over. May God bless you always!
Father Chris you are a gifted educator! I keep on learning more about our Catholic faith with your videos. Ursuline College of Cleveland Nursing graduate here …I will always thank God for sending me to Ursuline under the care of The Ursuline Sisters of Cleveland. God saved my life and the Sisters prepared me to serve as a nurse. I listen to your Holy Rosary on my commute home after work and it just places all my stress of the day at the feet of Jesus. I never prayed the Rosary consistently before learning of the National Shrine of Divine Mercy. Now I love the Rosary and I started praying the Chaplet of Divine Mercy with your priests daily. Thank you Marian Priests and I will always pray for you!!
That's awesome Kim! We are so happy to hear that you are praying the Rosary.... God bless you! :)
I always respect and prays to all the priests and our churches around the world! They have given up all their future and life to follow our Jesus and services the people of God around the globes. Thank you father Chris for all your hard works to help us understand our faith more deeper🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for watching with us Susan and God bless you
I don't think I even took a breath during the explanation of the vestments, from the collar covering to the chasuble and how each item related to the Passion of Christ. I also loved the explanation of how each aspect of Catholicism (confession, mass...) relates to the life, death and resurrection of Christ. Powerful! I thank God every day for leading me to the Catholic Church.
God bless you Snookie.... funny, that was my cousin's nick name :)
@@DivineMercy_Official my dad, may he rest in peace, has called me that since I was very little. My siblings only call me that. I was absolutely horrified the first time I googled that snookie from "Jersey Shore" after someone heard my mom, may she rest in peace, use the name and asked me if I was named for that girl. I too am italian, but my parents would have warmed my backside if I had acted like that, no matter how old I was! I miss them dearly! On a serious note, thank you for addressing the scandal and crisis in the Church, hiding information is how we got here in the first place. I know you wouldn't know it by watching the evening news, other religious denominations have just as many, or more issues. I know that they are not really Christians, but listening to stories of the abuse of children, male and female, who were made to go weekly to see an elder and confess any/every sexual thought or action and the session taking a very inappropriate turn, is heartbreaking. Anyway... Love the Saturday talks, wait all week for them! God bless you all!
Thank you father Chris.
Please continue to confirm your priesthood by staying faithful to us. Those of us who need you the most, God bless you Father Chris Alar, you are one of my most favorite priest/persons who love to listen to. Please don't ever forget that we need you, besides God, I really appreciate you and love hearing your talks. I will pray for you and your family of Holy priest. Don't give up or give into the lie. That before us all. Thank you for all of your efforts and work to bring the kingdom of God here on Earth. Amen. Thank you again ❤️🕊️🙏🌹🌹🌹 it won't let me post. Unh.❤️
Thank you Paula for taking the time to join us. God bless you and Merry Christmas!
May God meet every priest at the point of his need and help him glorify God through his priesthood.
I feel so bad for innocent priests, we have to pray for them all the time
Yes
Gracias father for all your efforts to explain the faith Jesus said feed my sheep and you are doing it thanks
May God bless you and your family Fr Chris
I like that adage "you can't love someone whom you don't know ".
Now I love our priests more than ever. What a supreme sacrifice they make joining the priesthood. Thank you Rev.Fr.Chris for enlightening me. God be with you & priests worldwide. Amen... Bangalore India
You too!
Thank Father Joseph and Brother Mark for every talk and video that you do for us who are far away.
THE BEST GOOD NEWS OF ALL TIMES FOREVERMORE..
God bless you Father Chris and every other true to God priests.
Thankyou God for the grace of Divine Mercy. Fr Chris I truely believe what you said about priests talking about the Divine Mercy. I had become disillusioned with the Catholic Church due to all of the abuse and had walked away for 4 years then in 2020 I saw your Divine Mercy upload on TH-cam on Divine Mercy Sunday and pow! It hit me like tonne of love and forgiveness all in one. And here Iam more in love with Our Lord and more devout then ever, hungry to learn everything I can about our faith. Thankyou for you lessons, may God give you the grace please continue and may the Precious Blood of Jesus Christ protect you always. May we all pray a Hail Mary for Fr Chris and his fellow priests.
Thank you so much Cristina for sharing that and most of all for being open in your heart to God's grace!
May God continue to preserve you father Chris, you're rly doing a great job. God bless you.
Thank you for being with us Spencer and God bless you
THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU FOR TEACHING US ALL ABOUT JESUS MARY AND JOSEPH AND THE WHOLE CATHOLIC FAITH!!! HELPING GO TO ETERNAL LIFE TO HEAVEN WITH ALL OF YOU!!!!! HAPY HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!!!!WE LOVE YOU AND ARE LEARNING TO PRAY AND SUPPORT ALL OF YOU THANKYOU EXTERNALLY FOREVER💝💝💝
GOD BLESS. My cousin who's a Deacon told me you have to priest shop in this day and age. I'm sad to say but it's true. I grew up in the church in the early 1960s before Vatican II took hold. My family are Slavic.
They were the ones who kissed a priests' hands even after he was no longer a "new priest".
I long for those days when a priest would walk by and you made the sign of the cross to bless yourself and him. Consecrated hands always got respect from us as children. Our parents taught us to be respectful.
And thank God I've never known a priest who abused anyone.
Now having said all that I can honestly say I listen to your videos often and the reason I do goes back to what my cousin the Deacon said.
Find a priest who has it. The Holy Spirit. And stick with him.
You've got it Father. And may you never lose it.
Viva Cristeros!
God bless DE and thank you for joining us. Yes, I am Slavic too (Croatian and Czech). I love my Polish brothers and am grateful that Divine Mercy came to us from God through Poland. God bless you.
Fr. Chris you are 100%. Here in Australia the media does the same.
God bless you and our friends in Australia
God bless you Father. Love you.
You too Miss Scarlett!
Thank you father Chris for your teaching. Thank you my Lord my God. Jesus I Trust In You.
Bless you Fr. Chris and all the priests who are faithful to serve the mother church. Thank you for all the research, time, effort, prayers and knowledge that you continue to pour out on this youtube videos. You have no idea just how much your teachings and other marian fathers have helped me go back to my faith & start praying the rosary again & join the divine mercy chaplet prayer. I watch & listen to your teaching all day long as I find them very educational, meaningful, inspirational, as I've said before - better than netflix. Now I cannot go with my day without a prayer. Thank you & God Bless.
Thank you for taking the time to watch with us and God bless you!
Thank you Fr Chris for enlightening my understanding of priesthood. I’ll fervently continue praying for vocations and deep devotion to Mary and Divine Mercy. God bless you.
Joseph van Haren
Thank you Father for this good talk , I will increase may prayer for priests especial by the Rosary .
God bless you
Truly amazing 👏🙌
God bless you Father Chris. I was educated by saintly parents, Daughters of Charity through HS and Jesuit College( and still Catholic!) . I thought I knew a lot about the faith but I feel I am getting a graduate course by you; please don’t stop I am going for a PhD! MGRY
Yes, thank you Anthony and God bless you for going deeper in your faith!
That's so sad I fell so bad for you my prayers are with you continue to give your great lectures
God bless our Marian Father's, and all priests !
I think that all of those who committed these grave impurities knew they were doing when they committed these act.
All good priests have suffered because of this, it's so wrong, and victims yes suffer.
As a Marian supporter I can assure you I have received so many graces by benefitting from all spiritual works! Pray for priests, thank God for priests who lay their lives down for us!
Without them we wouldn't have confession Holy communion and all the Sacraments! In Medjugorje Our Lady says to the faithful pray for your Shepherds ! Priests are the bridge to to triumph of Marys immaculate heart
Pray for these, love our priests, many whom today are living saints.
Thank you for your input Diane and God bless you. And thank you for helping to support our ministry and being a part of our Marian family :)
Prayer for priests are important and aways needed.I believe as I pray for family friends neighbour's and so on, priests can be attacked in many ways for they are so much closer to God and teaching the word God.Satan hates it all.So I pray for all priests to be safe always.Thank you.I appreciate you dear father 👨❤🙏
I never ever hate Jesus and the priesthood. I only feel repugnant to the bad priests and now I am praying for the Catholic Church
Father Alas, you are the sainty priest am so proud of. God bless the wonderful priest like you Fr.
Tank you IT and God-bless you.
Wow, engaged to? Well, the laborers were few and he chose you Fr. Alar. Greatest blessing ever😏🙏
Thank you redcandy and God bless you. Yes, God drug me out of the world kicking and screaming but now I cannot image doing anything different than this incredible Divine Mercy ministry.... in big part to all of you! :) God bless....
Thank you Father Chris for the Radiant Joy you bring to our lives,the reverence you have is beautiful,look forward to every moment of your teachings,you must make an effort to be good to yourself and take a day off.
THank you Catherine... yes, not many days off, but I may get home to see my sick mom soon. God bless :)

Thank you Father Alar. Love your talks. I learn so much. God bless you greatly!
Thank you, Father Chris. I am so willing to listen to you. I do pray for he who hurt me. I forgive him, I can’t forget. I can verbatim say the things said to me and about me at Mass at his homily, no less! But, I pray to this day for the health of his spirit and soul. He has retired young.
Prayers for your healing Theresa, God bless you and the priest.

Thank You for your explanations and the truths you have shared in this video...I know as I was gradually learning of these ‘bad priests’ and the homosexuality that goes on it has sickened me in ways I no know words to explain...I don’t listen to the media...I’m grateful for your words...
God Bless You🙏🌹
Thank you Kitty.... and remember, for every one bad priest there is 100 good ones. God bless.
