I just found a miraculous medal in my jacket pocket. I was looking for a lighter and thought id check some of my winter jackets I havent worn in a while and I have no idea how it got there. This past Lent my faith has strengthened immensely.
Nic. Nie dzieje się z przypadku
I found this beautiful medal on my way to the ladies' room. It was conveniently laid on the handicap access button. After 3 days no one had claimed it and so I took it. At that time I was considered an occasional worker. After claiming this medal, I landed a job for a two year project. Since then. I have been continuously blessed in achieving permanent employment and moved up the ranks quickly. Our Blessed Mother watches over me in my place of employment and I am truly grateful. Blessed be Mary, Mother of our Lord. ❤
I was shaken for a moment. I was looking at a message on my phone, I am still able to hear you, and all of a sudden you said ," you can come back Rose. God bless you." Well.... im sure you were speaking to someone there, however, my name is Rose. And I hurriedly returned to the screen to watch.
Wow, it may have been for you because I don't remember it and I remember most things 😇
I wear my medal since my Marian consecration. I felt her love everyday, even in bad days. She presented me your channel Father Chris and since then, the mercy of her Son! How not love her back? Thank you so much to be part of my conversion!
Father Alar, please pray for my friend who passed away on 1st June 2022. I met her first time at church back in 2006. She introduced herself to me as I was new in the parish. And we became friends since then.
I will be missing her so much as I won't meet her again at church. Her name is Laksmi Pope.
Thank you so much, father. 🙏
🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
My condolences 🌷 I'll pray for her too
Yes, God bless you
My prayer will accompany her to God, may she rest in peace.
Thank you all 🙏
God bless you ❤
Nice to hear about Siluva in Lithuania.
Iam Lithuanian, I live in UK . Siluva is so beautiful. St. Mary's statue is standing on the same stones where she showed herself for kids. At Siluva, a lot of miracles happened.
God bless you 🙏 telling this story for the world. Thank you 🙏
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you, Father. I am convert from a nondenominational church. RCIA was helpful but I have learned so much of the Faith from your teachings. So many spiritual riches in the Catholic Church. May our Lord strengthen you and grant you grace for the work.
Thank you for watching with us and God bless you
Pray for my mother and daughter and sons and myself in the name of jesus amen
Excellent lecture Fr. Chris this Explaining the Faith looks good today and in 1532 to 1608 Saint Faustina. I'm praying for your family at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy. God bless your inspiring ministry. Saint Padre Pio pray for us.
@@lorenandre63 Freemasons are enemies of God. Hope you research and learn before you falsely accuse one true Catholic Church.
I still have my blessed miraculous medal my Dad gave me when I was a teenager I continually have a blessing on the medal and my brown scapular my medal is sewn in to my scapular.
Besides the love of life giving life parents do the some of the most amazing lessons of love the Bible teachings teaching me to pray prayers the rosary and importance of sacredness of God Jesus Christ Mother Mary St Joseph to have true devotion love reverence and humility and much thankfulness.
Those are true gifts and truly emulate miracles.
Thank you very much for your Fr Chris and all our true vicars of Christ .
God bless you 🙏📿❣️💐🌹
Thank you Fr. Chris for talking about a Marian apparition that is not well known. It is good to learn more about just how often Mary has come to Earth to try to get us to develop greater devotion for her and her son. God bless you Father. I'm so glad you are going to be able to start live Saturday talks again. 🤓
I work in a Catholic Religious Store . It makes my life more peaceful.
Our Lady of Siluva , one of the most beautiful Apparition Stories 🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻
I love the Chapel of the Miraculous Medal. It's so beautiful. It was the highlight of my time in Paris. It's so interesting how God does target demographics for us with so many apparitions of Mary. My church has so many immigrants from Africa, Asia, Latin America, Poland, Philippines, India and we've all brought the Devotions we're most familiar with. It's such a testament to God's humility that He sends his mother in our grabs to gather us, until we can be robed in his.
Thanks Fr Cris, being a promoter of Miraculous medal Apostolate since 1967 to present, abundant graces comes my way thru her intercession, thanks Lord 🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️✌️✌️
God bless your ministry!
Thank you Fr Chris for this talk of our Blessed Mother in Siluva ,truly blessed to hear your talks of the Marian Apparitions 🙏🙏🙏
This video came at the right time as I just received the miraculous pendant and now am wearing it but didn’t know much about its story Thank you
I have this pendant make in Italy, didn't know history until now, Thank you father Chris for the explanation. Amen 🙏 🙏 🙏
Thank you again Fr Chris. I love watching your talk because Im learning a lot.
Thanks Father
I never tire listening to your talks, Fr Chris. We are blessed to have you continuously bring us closer to our Blessed Mother and the Holy Trinity. Eternally grateful 😇.
Thank you Connie for joining us and God bless you
Thank u Fr. Alar for this GREAT talk about the Miraculous Medal n explaining the faith it gave me so much clarity; I've been wearing the Brown scapular n the Miraculous medal I have to say I've been really blessed. God bless u✝️💞💞
WHOOHOO!!! Hopefully this is a follow up from the earlier BLOCKBUSTER Explaining The Faith: Statues, Medals, Images, Scapulars premiered about ten months ago. It matters not. The fact remains that these vignettes are pure GOLD. As an aside to this, the difference ten months can make! Ten months earlier I was still outside our Church. Ten months later I eagerly await the service at Our Lady of The Holy Rosary (TLM) and obtain the Sacrament of Communion! Thanks be to God for the brainchild of these podcasts. These have assisted my return home and strengthened my resolve to fight the good fight as a loyal son of The Church. To God be the Glory.

I have worn Miraculous medal most of my life starting when I was a child . My great grandmother gave me a very old medal. My little Granddaughters are always wanting to examine the medal . I bought one for each of them through the Catholic company, they are very pretty abd the girls love to wear them . It gives me such joy to teach them of the Blessed Mother. God bless you Fr Chris 🙏 ❤️
So lucky I got a chance to visit & see of the uncorrupted body of St. Catherine Laboure in France. It was good privileged and attemd a mass
Lucky you!!! I pray I get to see her too!!!
This I need to listen to today….
Seemingly timely because after yesterday’s Mass we were discussing (my Church friends and I) how the Miraculous Medal is attached to our Lady Of Grace! 💙🙏🏻💙
(It came up because beneath the altar of the church is the statue of Our lady Of Grace💙
And we were visiting the church for the 1st Friday Mass)!🕯🕯🕯
AMEN ❤️
Wow that's good news! Welcome back, Father! We're all excited to have you again live every Saturday now. Praise be to God! 🙏
We are so enriched by these additional apparitions of Mary, our loving mother, thank you so much, Fr. Chris. Your generosity is boundless as if your heart knows only the language of charity. Our tender love for Mary is a childlike love, so confident and trustful because she loves making apparitions to the little,simple and humble of heart. God bless us all.
Father Chris Alar thank you for your insight and inspiration for the Marian Apparitions: Miraculous Medal and Siluva in details and at great length.
I wear the medal after I first consecrated my heart to Mother Mary. I always feel at peace when I wear it. Thank you Fr. Chris for this talk and the reflections. We are truly grateful for these apparitions and the graces from Mother Mary.
Dear Father Chris, thanks for this inspiring talk about Marian. Your talks with your team are always so so good. God Bless you, Father and your Team.

@@DivineMercy_OfficialI don't like that somebody getting money For self by My Soul. Mother Earth self! This needs stop!!!
The first thing that I saw on the slide of the enshrined photo of the virgin Mother and her Son at the cathedral of Siluva were the letters MOM above it. The whole altar is absolutely beautiful. She is our heavenly mother. So interesting, great talk!
Amazing, jusz amazing. God bless you fr. Chris and all Marian Fathers!

Please pray for me and my brother an alcoholic and a widower living all alone. Thank you soooo much. God bless you and your efforts to teach us. God keep you safe and healthy.
Thank you for watching with us and God bless you
I knew that our loving Blessed Mother gave instructions to create the Miraculous Medal that I love to wear, but I had not heard of these conversations! Fr. Chris, thank you for doing this video and for working to teach us about these blessed events. God bless!🙏
Welcome back Fr. Chris! I’m happy you were able to arrange more help and care for your mother so you have more time resume your talks for us. I am excited to hear your future talks especially on Freemasonry. Thank you for coming back to us Fr. Chris!
Thank you Fr. Chris, for the explaining the Faith excellently
When I was mulling about going to RCIA, I decided to make a rosary after buying two in Colombia. I ordered a pack of chaplet medals and crosses on Etsy and the one on my second one I use for the car is a miraculous medal.
Thank you Father Chris for helping me to rebuild my faith since I've been away the Catholic Church is truly Awesome! 🤙
Yes, God bless you Lloyd
Wow!f Fantastic lecture. I learn so much about our faith from you! Thank you for doing these - you are bringing so many back to our Catholic faith.
Thank you so much for joining us and God bless you!
Great video! so inspiring!
I treasure my Miraculous Medal. This was a wonderful lecture, thank you Marian Fathers for providing this fine production to us.
You will die in your sins unless you believe in Jesus and HIM alone!
My late father was in the Korean War as a Navy shipman & wore the Miraculous Medal my mother gave him before he deployed. He came home, they married & had 4 children. I was the oldest & on my 16th birthday he gave it to me. I lost it at the beach. During the insuing years, many bad things happened to my parents & eventually our family. I searched for years to find an identical Miraculous Medal to the one I lost. I did & wear it today with hope & confidence in our Blessed Mother. It is my rudder.❤🙏
@@a.zavala2355 Keep looking for it dear Sister in Christ. Don’t give up! Search thrift stores & garage sales!
My dear best Friend is 65+ years old & she has an absolutely beautiful one. When I saw hers, I pined to have one just like it. A week later, I found one exactly like hers, at a garage sale for the asking price of $1. I treasure it as if it was made of pure gold, worth hundreds of dollars.
Father great lecture thank you for these beautiful teachings😇💞
Thank you Father Chris for your presentation today. Your instructions on Marian Apparitions is so enriching. I was given the Miraculous Medal as a gift for my First Holy Communion in 1954, by my aunt/Godmother. I have worn it all of my life with very few exceptions. It is a treasured gift to me. In turn, I have given my children and grandchildren the Miraculous Medal on their First Holy Communion 🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻
Thank you so much Fr. Chris! Always informational and knowledgeable - a continuing learning process for me. Yes, I wear the miraculous medal all the time.
Wow the image of Our Lady of Siluva looks very very similar to the image of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in the Philippines... so anazing
Love Explaining the faith. From Auckland New Zealand 🇳🇿
Love hearing from you. Blessings to you & your mother ❤️. Amen 🙏🏼
Thank you, I learn a lot I hope to putting on practice ASAP, may God keep you bringing the good news to us 🙏
I have a friend whose father, while he was a child in Greece, fell asleep under a stack of hay where he was guarding sheep. Mother Mary appeared to him to wake him up after the hay had caught fire. She appeared in time for him to get away from the burning hay. He was brought up Orthodox.
Once again thank you for the Amazing wonderful trip - Pilgrimage to France in June 20, 2022. We had a very blessed trip with you and looking forward to Switzerland and Austria in 20213. We thank you...

This was so wonderful!!! Thank you again Father Chris. God Bless.
Wherever I travel, I tuck into a Catholic Church to see my Father in His House.
When I visited Florida, by chance I happened to be near by St James Cathedral. My knees fell to the floor when I looked up at the altar- for there surrounding above it, was a beautiful painting of Our Immaculate Blessed Mother in the Upper Room, with Our Twelve Holy Saint Apostles, bowing to Her in reverence.
I was compelled to have confession, that I may be absolved in such a Holy House of my Dad. I had just walked in as a tourist in Florida- without any knowledge of confession times. I couldn’t expect to find a Priest to take my confession.
My daughter had asked me if she could pretend to be lector at the ambo. I gave her the okay, after all, the house was empty. There happened to be a copy of the Angelus at the podium & as she began reading, the words reverberated throughout the entire Church & lo and behold, a Father came strolling out.
His broad smile brightened his entire face & he told her, “Ahhh, the Angelus.”
What a way to lure a Priest- just say the Angelus. God granted me a Father to take my confession that day, by an incredibly kind & amazing Priest. All I had to do was walk in.
PS- there is also a Catholic Church called Mary, Queen of the Universe. (This is just a response to those who say, how dare we say Queen of Heaven. 😂 )
WOW 😯 JUST WOW 😮! I do same whenever I travel……. YES definitely always looking around for a Catholic Church!!!!
I would love LOVE ❤️ to see THAT PAINTING of our MOTHER MARY you saw and described here…… what’s the name of the Church? What city or town in FLA?
@@mistyviolet3825 Thank you Sr in Christ 😘
Saint James Cathedral is in Orlando Florida
Addy is 215 N. Orange Ave. 32801
The Priest is Fr Miguel Gonzalez 🥰
The Cathedral is absolutely amazing & you can see pictures of it easily online. However, just like the Sistine Chapel, it absolutely celestial in person, something a picture can never capture, it is impossible.
Orlando also has the Basilica National Shrine of Mary Queen of the Universe.
That was of the devil!,,
May God bless F. Chris.
You too!
Lord God praying for a good health , peace of heart, mind , body & soul pls. breathe in me & make me whole again w the intercession of your chaste mother , Mother Mary Amen
Fr. Chris, listening to you describe the beautiful conversions of Zachary King and Alphonse Ratisbonne was very moving.
Thank you for joining us and God bless you
Thank you Fr. Chris. God bless!🙏🙏🙏.
Thank you Fr. for this enlightenment. Have a great trip & we look forward to hearing about it when you can share with us. ❤🙏
Thank you Fr. Chris is nice to see you love again! God bless you and your family and all the MIC!
God bless us all...
Thank you very much for Beautiful cards. Amen
bles you
I need to watch this!
Wao thanks Fr Chris
Father, Nobody Teaches Like You!!!!
Father works very hard and is full of wisdom
Excellent content! Thank you for teaching us! Your videos have helped me to increase my faith.
Thank you for joining us and God bless you!
Thank you Father so happy you are able to come back every Saturday. I am praying for both of our Mother’s, my Mom is suffering from dementia. I sure hope you are still able to go on The St. Mark pilgrimage in October, my husband and I are signed to go and can’t wait. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
God bless you Kathy but unfortunately we found out that I probably will not be allowed to go because I am not vaccinated.
@@DivineMercy_Official well, that’s a real shame. You going was one of the main reasons we signed up. Hopefully they will make an exception. 🙏🏻🙏🏻
@@kathmac37 Yes, I am very saddened by this. I cannot take the vaccine because I have blood clots and inflamed heart and it would put my life at risk. I've tried everything to be able to have my medical exemption accepted but they will not. I'm sorry
@@DivineMercy_Official I'm so sorry Fr., it's so unfair.
@@DivineMercy_Officialplease pray for my mom. I am taking care of her. She has vascular dimenshia. She is 89. It is very difficult to see her this way. Her name is Katherine Veronika. God Bless
Interesting that St. Catherine Labouré was a portress. Not only St. Faustina but also St. Brother André was also a porter. It reminds me of a verse from one of the psalms that goes something like, "I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God than dwell in the tents of the wicked."
Solanus Casey was also a porter...
Amen!
Thank you, Father; God Bless You and all the Marian Fathers.
Thank you Father about France not enforcing Vaccine Passports.
One day with the Rosary and Brown Scapular I will save the world to St Domnic and to St Simon Stock
Allan.
Most Sacred Heart of Jesus have mercy on us.
Thank you Lord Jesus christ.
Beautiful presentation Father Chris. I always look forward to your joyful and insightful lessons in an amazing realm of theological topics. Because sight was restored to the 100 year old man, does this make Our Lady of Siluwa an intercessor for those of us with vision problems? May God continue to bless you and your family abundantly.
Hi Karyn, it was great meeting you today! Thank you for coming by. Yes, Mary can intercede for us for any type of emotional or spiritual or physical request.
Please pray for my dear friend's husband; Glenn, who has diagnosed with an extremely rare autoimmune disorder with a grim diagnosis. May God bless them and heal him.
I just found this and prayed for your friend and your friend's husband.
@@tryingnottobeasmartass757 what beautiful generosity…thank you for your prayers! 🙏🏼
I'm waiting for your next blog regarding "God Died".
Thank u so much and God bless.
God bless rome
I believe she does”, Fr Cris!
Thank You Mary Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ for Your Love to us, Amen
There is no religion with God, Jesus and Mother Mary, and they appear to all everywhere. Love Always Jennifer Makuch South Africa
Thank you but the Bible disagrees. Jesus said in Matthew 16:18 that he created his church and there was no other church for 1500 years than the Catholic church. So yes, Jesus started a religion. God bless
I have one miracle medal given to me 25 years ago, by Padre Iammarone of the Seraphicum in Rome, plus I carry extra medals with cards to give to people.
