Honestly, father Chris I sincerely thank God for your life. You don't know how happy I am to listen to your teachings. My prayer for you is that the Lord who has called you will continue to be with you.❤️❤️❤️❤️
@@DivineMercy_Official up Thanks for all your lectures!They are all priceless! The holy Spirit is within you fr. Chris!Continue your very good work!God bless you Father Chris!
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 💕❤️
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!
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
Yes he is very blessed to Preach God's word for us and all that are lost. There's always hope with Mercy & Love. Love & Prayer are the key to God's Hart.
My mother died this July thank God she was able to have a funeral Mass. I was listening to one of the live Masses online when I came across the Divine Mercy channel by accident, I've not been able to stop listening to your lectures. Ive also passed along to friends. Father Chris thank you so much for being a priest and of the Marian Order🙏 please keep my family in your prayers. I àm keeping you in mine. May God continue to bless and keep you close to His Heart and our blessed Mother Mary🙏🌹
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.
I have a strong calling to our church. I feel so lost because I don't know what it is yet. I keep praying for God to reveal my path. Every video I watch of yours father, I feel like I get closer and closer to Jesus. Thank you 🙏❤️💙🙏
Your a great educator.. God is so, pleased with you. I Love hearing you everyday. I can't go to sleep if I don't listen to you before I go to bed. God bless you always 🙏
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, 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!
God bless you Fr.Alar ..I'm from Ireland and I always pray for you and your family .You're a true apostle of Divine Mercy. I listen to your talks over and over again .I'm a true catholic but didn't understand the magnitude our catholic religion until God directed me towards you .God bless you always 🙏🙏
Thank God you were called and that you did follow, Gods word has reached Millions of people due to the "Explaining the Faith" series. You are truly Blessed because of this and one of Gods greatest warriors. You have given up much but will receive more many times over that you can take with you in the next life. Thank You and continue the good fight.
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.
Father Chris, I am becoming addicted to your teachings. They are so clear and so easy to inderstand, especially when you mention the chapters and numbered verses in the bible. Thank you so much for taking the time to prepare them for us.
I’ve been a catechist at my church and I feel like if every Catholic-children AND their parents-would just listen to your talks there would be very few Catholics leaving the church ever again! God bless and keep you!
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!!
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.
God bless you Fr. Chris for all that you do in Jesus name. May you live a long healthy life, ever growing in your faith and love for the Blessed Mother and Jesus-and to God be glory and the honor forever and ever.
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.
@@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!
Fr Chris, How mystical and wondrous is the priesthood!I am in awe of the grandeur of God's Love and Mercy.Honor and praise to Jesus who loves us so dearly!!! Amen. 🌷🌷🌷🌺🌺🌺🌺🙏🙏🙏
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 Jesus. For coming and teaching us thru your prist. Oh my Jesus protec your prist Mary Mother keep your prist under your mantel please we need our prist Mass, cofection Communion, Jesus I Belive I trust in You.
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
We need more than ever faithful,courageous and genuine priest like you father.Thank you for your ministry.May the Virgin Mary 🙏 protect you and the others priest.Glory be to God!!
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.
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.
You are an amazing Priest Father Christ! I pray for more Priests like you in the future. God bless you and all those who helped make this teaching available to all Catholics around the whole world.❤❤❤❤ 🙏🙏🙏🙏
Definitely these priests scandals made me wonder out of the church for so long. However, I know it is not all priests. As fr. Chad Ripperger said "no man behaviors should shake your faith"
Wow!Amazing Talk from Fr Chris!! Thanks God for having Him!what a beautiful Teachings! God bless all Marian Priest and the members of the Community 🙏♥️🌹
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💝💝💝
I am really enlightened by your teaching. We need such priests. God Bless you for all the times so that you can preach all the time of your life. So many will be enlightened
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.
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 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.
Indeed Fr. Chris, your words touched many hearts, including mine and gives me the power to fight everyday challenges and personal struggles. God bless you and keep preaching/teachings us all. God bless from Croatia!
@@DivineMercy_Official Thank you father for you blessings :-))) Two hours ago I was at the Mass and our priest told us how many times Mary mentioned in Međugorje that priesthood and priests are The Bridge between the "two shores" and we need now&here that Bridge to be super strong to withhold the "weight of mankind" to get across people souls to Salvation. God bless you Fr. Chris and everybody at National Shrine ! Praying for you! :-)
You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for explaining all of this. After all these years of being a Catholic (All of my Life) I had never heard all of this! Bless you for all you do!!
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.
Thank you Father Chris Alar, and may God bless all priests. I thank the Lord I have found this channel and have learned so much . Praying for all priests !
Terrific talk Father!! It's always such a great education for me. Thank you for all the work you put into your talks on Explaining the Faith series. I'm also so very thankful to Brother Mark and the other tech people. I often can't catch these live, tho i prefer to, so having them available after is such a blessing to me. God Bless all of you at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy. Always in my prayers are priests and anyone in or seeking religious vocations. You are a true warrior for our faith!! Thank you for answering the call.
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🙏🙏🙏
Honestly, father Chris I sincerely thank God for your life. You don't know how happy I am to listen to your teachings. My prayer for you is that the Lord who has called you will continue to be with you.❤️❤️❤️❤️

Bless You Father!
You too Brian.
Definitely these priests scandals made me wonder out of the church for so long.
However, I know it is not all priests.
As fr. Chad Ripperger said "no man behaviors should shake your faith"

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. 🌹🌹🌹
I am really enlightened by your teaching. We need such priests. God Bless you for all the times so that you can preach all the time of your life. So many will be enlightened
Thank you and God bless.
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.
Praying for our Catholic Faith🙏

@@DivineMercy_Official Thank you father for you blessings :-)))
Two hours ago I was at the Mass and our priest told us how many times Mary mentioned in Međugorje that priesthood and priests are The Bridge between the "two shores" and we need now&here that Bridge to be super strong to withhold the "weight of mankind" to get across people souls to Salvation.
God bless you Fr. Chris and everybody at National Shrine ! Praying for you! :-)
I'm Catholic and I pray for our priests. It's all we can do.
Thank you Father Chris. Your explanations are helping me understand the church 100%. May
God continue to Bless you.
You are a wonderful teacher. Thank you for explaining all of this. After all these years of being a Catholic (All of my Life) I had never heard all of this! Bless you for all you do!!
Thanks for sharing Lydia and we hope you stay with us. God bless.
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 Susan and we are very happy you have joined us and become a part of our Marian family! :)
Terrific talk Father!! It's always such a great education for me. Thank you for all the work you put into your talks on Explaining the Faith series. I'm also so very thankful to Brother Mark and the other tech people. I often can't catch these live, tho i prefer to, so having them available after is such a blessing to me. God Bless all of you at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy. Always in my prayers are priests and anyone in or seeking religious vocations. You are a true warrior for our faith!! Thank you for answering the call.
Great to see you still with us Paryse :)
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🙏🙏🙏
