I am a convert from Japan. I became Catholic when I was 17. I now live in Guam and last May I made a pilgrimage to Our Lady of Akita with a traditional Catholic group from Tokyo and Osaka. It was a real blessing although Sr Agnes is not there any more. The convent is Japanese style with a beautiful serene garden where you can pray the stations of the cross. We were only allowed in for 30 minutes because it was right after the COVID restrictions were lifted. Our priest reminded us that this year was the 50th anniversary of the message. I hope to go again next year. The group goes every year.
God bless you for managing to make it there and commemorate Mary coming to warn the earth. How beautiful. Wish I could go too. But I need to work towards it. Thanks be to God for His mercy.
I am on my third First Saturday! Please, pray I get to finish it. I don't drive and getting there on Saturday is a chore. So, please, also pray that the Lord blesses my driver as well. I will continue to go as long as I can, but I just want to finish the five. Blessings to anyone who sees this and prays for me and my driver!
I am praying for you to make all of your first Saturdays. I've tried and failed in the past but today, I start again. God willing, we will both complete our task many times and be allowed to pray for more souls. 🙏 ❤
I just did my 4th ‘Five First Saturdays’ here in Catskill Mountains NY. I am one of the 20,000. Standing with you, lifting your arms like Moses. I pray for you every morning Father Chris Alar.

Amen…we need to pray Rosary more than on eve a day to ward off the evil surrounding our children plus our country’s political system filled with the horrors of corruption of the worse throughout the history of our nation. Pray and sacrifice offering Our Most Heavenly Father’s Merciful intervention. Let us remember His Son died on a cross for the sins of the world. Amen
Sister Agnes Sasagawa just passed away yesterday, 1:30 PM, August 15th, the day of on the day of Assumption of the Virgin Mary in Japan. Please pray for her soul rest in peace with lord.
Fr.Chris, God is really good. I am in Japan and your video on Lady of Akita pop up. Without hesitation my daughter and i made the trip up north to Akita yesterday. The chapel of Seitai Hoshikai Convent is indeed such a serene place of worship. It is very touching and inspiring that our beloved Mother Mary visited this Convent. I feel so blessed that i made this trip and pray a rosary with my young daughter at the feet of Lady of Akita this morning. Praise God...Lord Jesus we trust in you. Thank you Fr.Chris.
@@majorpuggington So sorry @major Can't really get much information during our visit as i dont speak Japanese and my communication with the sister on duty was very limited. Probably i will need to join a more proper organise pilgrimage group and lead by an English speaking local guide as an interpreter.
The Rosary is like a Meiko. A rosebud. Cherry blossom. Hope in the darkness when we are in fear or are of sadness. A beautiful blessing and sign from Our Lady of Akita 🙏👆✝️🙏💓
@@majorpuggingtonYes, I went there last May on a pilgrimage with a Japanese priest who has been going there for 17 years. He knows Sr Agnes. She is 92 years old and in a nursing home hidden down south away from Akita and forbidden to speak.
Well here is my shortest comment ever. Father Chris you speak quite a bit about detachment from sin. Today it all made sense when you compared sin to a lightning rod and dropped that pen. BAM.

@@aislinndeweston4140 - Neither Fr Chris nor Bopees claimed to be a victim soul. The later thought Fr C could be a victim soul, and that was just an impression he/she got from hearing Fr. It had nothing to do with pride or humility.
God always asks a soul if He wants them to be a victim soul. It's something one would keep between themselves and God..God always chooses the lowly and humble.
Right, victims don’t normally brag unless they want out. Being a volunteer victim is a humbled Soul who says, “LORD, I feel only a tiny fractal of Your pain…nevertheless, I feel so moved by Your mercy & grace for Your creatures, that, I, too, am moved - closer, deeper and wider into Your Heart.”
Me and my husband are from Slovakia, living in Ireland. We just came back from Barcelona this morning. Attended 3 masses there. Great beautiful cathedrals and churches, but no attendance at all . 7 people on Sunday mass in st. Joseph church in Santa Coloma. We visited our lady of the pillar in zaragosa. Beautiful experience. But Catholic Spain is almost dead. So painful to see. 😢😢😢😢
Thank you Father Chris! May your ministry inspire others to the priesthood. We need holy priests to stand against the evil trying to destroy our Church.
Daily mass and daily rosary for the conversion of all sinners and for the souls in purgatory. Prayers that the bishops, priests and all religious be more sacrificial. Praying that they be holy and faithful to God and the church. May God. have mercy on our world. Let’s continue to do the First Friday and First Saturday devotions 🙏🏼❤️
I am completely devoted to Lord Jesus and Mother Mary. I love the rosary. There are times when I cry when praying with Her, especially the sorrowful rosary. I know She is asking us again, please listen. Just like a mother would say to their child over and over, please listen, follow my instructions l, and everything will be all right. When we do the simple thing she asks, everything turns to joy, instead of so much suffering. May you truly be blessed Father Chris, in heavenly love to Our Holy Mother, our Beloved Lord Jesus, St Joseph, St Faustina, and all the Saints. Oh how we love Them. I Am His.
With all due respect, Father, I'm extremely shocked by what your father was about to do. That wasn't righteous anger, that was nuts, imho! Perhaps the calamities Sr. Akita saw coming will also come as a consequence of what many fathers believed to be good, 50 years ago. Hope he didn't have such insane anger fits on a regular basis... In my childhood in Germany, beatings like this were common. Fathers were often obnoxious types, traumatized by war. Dire days back then!!Anyway, what a good and courageous mother you had! Just in that same way, our dear Mother Mary, together with her child Jesus, intervenes for us.
Fr Chris, thank you these talks, i missed this when you did it, but it popped up on my feed this week. We pray for you all at Devine Mercy 🙏 i hope one day to be able to travel to US to attend your talk. I follow divine mercy, i go to the Devine Mercy sanctuary in Krakiw a few times a year. When i am struggling spiritually, it lifts me. 🙏
I will be one of 20,000! I remember when I was younger, my parents parish used to pray the First Friday devotion. I will look up more about both 1st Friday and Saturdays. Thank you Fr. Chris. God bless you! I enjoy listening to your talks and homilies.
Praying for you Father Chris. May Saint Blaze protect your throat so that your voice of the Way, the Truth and the Light be amplified in His Glory. May all the angels and saints serve you in the guidance of the sheep❤
Inspiring talk Fr. Alar. We are grateful and pray for you at MWOJ at St. Therese in Mooresville and our sister parish, St. Mark's, in Huntersville where you got your vocation.
Father Chris, you have taught me so much about my Catholic faith and brings me so much peace. I hunger for your teachings and appreciate all the time you put in to bringing our faith to life again and again. God Bless you and all the Marian fathers.
There is no record of a priest who Was committed to one hour a day in adoration One can start with twenty minutes a day and each Saturday add one minute . In less than a year one will be spending one hour each day . If no church is available,just sit facing a church and ask our Lord to send his light , passing through every obstacle right into your heart and soul. If you have trouble with consistency.just start where you left off. I think it took me six months to reach 22 minutes a day
Add on no record of any priest leaving the priesthood that spent on hour a day in adoration Ask saints who practiced one hour a day in Adoration to pray with you and for you St. Alphonse Ligoure,Fulton Sheen,Mother Theresa and her. sisters of Charity
Thank you, Fr. Chris, for a very informative (and scary in a sense) talk. Praying that all will hear Mary's warning; I certainly will try to heed her warning. May God bless, strengthen & protect you in your ministry. God bless the Marians.
Thank you Fr. Chris for this very interesting, first Saturday talk about Our Lady of Akita. May you continue to give us beautiful and important talks, in maintaining our faith.
Fr Chris is teaching us to know our faith so we can love it more - God bless him! And God bless you, too, Evangeline. 🙏 Always a pleasure to see you here.
Father Chris.. you are the shepherd that brought this long lost sheep back into the fold. I am eternally grateful for having found you. You have taught be more in the past year than I was taught at St Mary's elementary and catechism combined. I was punished often for asking the questions have been answering. I tear up during every sermon overwhelmed with many emotions.
I visited our lady of Akita and it was wonderful experience. I got goosebumps as I saw the statue of our lady of Akita . The nuns showed us the dried tears on cottons from the statue, it was so amazing!
@@Nonofurbzness and also, this is relatively recent. Happened in my lifetime, but during my college years, so I’m sure I wasn’t in tune with my faith back then.
Our Lady of Akita pray that the first Fris and Sats may be offered in many more parishes and dioceses for the eternal good of our human family 🕊🌎 TY Fr Chris 💙🎚️
It's interesting that the tears stopped flowing in 1981, the year Our Lady started appearing in Međjugorje! And she hasn't stopped because we need her. She wants to help us. And God is permitting her to. She is our refuge in these end times ❤ Međugorje is the continuation and fulfilment of Fatima. All these apparitions are connected, to help us through these difficult times ❤
Thank you Father Chris, you have been part of my daily rosary intentions since day 1 of Explaining The Faith. I have learned 99% of my new Catholic faith from you. I thank you and ask God’s graces and blessings on you and look forward to meeting some day, here or in Heaven ❤️
Fr. Chris always in my prayers as you are one amazing ambassador for our God, Our lord and Queen. Many still will not listen and many go back to their old ways, as our Lady Immaculate conception states. Great warnings. Thank you.
I've been attending Mass on First Friday for years now (it was a tradition in my Jesuit school). Thanks Father for explaining First Saturday. I'll try my best to start attending Mass for that
I have been attending first Saturday since my conversion 7 years ago. But, recently reduce going to church but still with rosary and confession. Thank you Ft Chris to remind and give me the strength to continue again. With God s grace will start again going for mass on first Saturday. 🙏🏼
Ty Fr. This was a very sobering message. I've completed the first Fridays and Saturdays. But now an trying the first Fridays with my 11 year old son. After your talks i see how must always do the first Saturdays and Fridays. I wish the world would listen. Starting with my husband. Thanks again!
Fr. Chris - That was an extremely helpful image of sin being a "lightning rod" for the wrath of God the Father. May we all be detached from that lightning rod!
DEAREST FATHER ALAR THANK YOU INFINITELY FOR YOUR AMAZING MINISTRY AND MAY GOD BLESS AND REWARD YOU GREATLY !!! We learn SO MUCH from you ! THANK YOU AGAIN !!!PRAISE GOD FOR OUR HOLY PRIESTS LIKE FATHER ALAR !!! 🙏🙏🙏
That's the one thing that I always will need in my life and that's God's mercy because I'm a sinner and in need of his forgiveness and love. I pray the mercy prayer daily and always ask for mercy for the whole world in my Rosary prayer and personal prayers with Abba daily. NO; JESUS PLEASE, MY LORD, KING, AND SAVIOR, DON'T TAKE AWAY MY MERCY. I NEED TO BE A SAINT AND A NUN, LIKE ST. BRIDGETT AND BE WITH YOU FOR ALL ETERNITY. AMEN🙏
I thank God for you Fr Chris. Because of your teachings, I understand more about Jesus Love and Divine Mercy, moreso, I am so much in love with our Blessed Mother Mary. God bless you Fr Chris, and all the Marian Priests and all the Priests and Religious in the world, Amen. I will come visit you someday and listen to your talk, live!
Hi Father Chris, you explained very well the wrath of the Father. It answered the question that I had for very long to time. God bless you more! Thank you for leading me back to Jesus! You played a big role in my conversion. I am praying to God to use me to spread The Divine Mercy. I hope to meet you in the Philippines to personally thank you. Please include me in your prayers.
from Our Lord's 5/31/2020 message to disciple (Julian Soto Ayala): "The hidden weapons of world domination, the enemy forces of Mine, of My church and of My faithful disciples, who follow Me, do violence to us. It is now, My children, that the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth suffers violence (Matt 11:12), it is now that the striving brave will enter it.
First it was, the elaboration of a "Master Plan" then... Infiltration, achieving the highest domains, then... Then came manipulation, betrayal and control of the media. From the highest echelons of the Church, Satan worked tirelessly, until introducing a false pastor, who will soon leave his post to make way for "the greatest of abominations." The false shepherd has sold the sheep into total confusion, making them believe that they follow the truth, while he himself, in his person, is full of lies and stubborn pride. He submits, to obedience, all My already polluted and perverted church, and has usurped the power of the primacy of Peter and corrupted the Petrine throne; that is why he does not have the power of the "Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt 16:19)". Behind him, the strings of the hands of those, who control everything move, move and order him, force him to make subtle statements that are leading My children to confusion and division.
My simple, humble children, who seek to love Me and follow Me. The sects are the works of the devil; falsehood and lie is in the pastors. Romans 1:22, 'boasting of wise men, they became fools.' Priests and bishop theologians are denying My Resurrection, and denying, with infiltrated lies, My Real Presence in the Eucharist. The theology of modernism, the theology of liberation, the theology of humanism are sharp, pointed arrows that wound My Heart. False ecumenism will drive Me out of the Church, out of My altars, because they will embrace false human doctrines that are only commands of wicked men. The union of world religions will no longer accept My Pure and Holy Immaculate Mother as Mother of God, My Mother and Mother of Humanity.
Thus they have subdued many of My children, who have anxiety and fear, because they do not want to leave the prostituted Church, it is the feeling of the world. Oh... My disciple continues to write... although doing so costs you a great effort. I the Lord keep speaking... Whoever wants to understand understands… Listen to the Voice of the Shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep. My prophets announce you and warn you in My Name, because I Jesus have taken you for Me. They will not suffer any harm as long as they fulfill their mission. My Church is now like a boat shaken by waves and storm, the impostor has guided it into troubled waters and lost its way! This time had to come... Do not be surprised that I repeat it again... Religious control is being exercised with the worldwide economic support of the powers of the master of this world, who seem to triumph under the protection of bishops and cardinals, who unduly usurped the command. My children, My power is greater, much greater... than the false power that rules the world. Either you are with Me, or you are against Me! You have heard and read it... that he who claims to be a friend of the world becomes My enemy. The traitor is here... My church has been sold... yet I preserve, with My grace, those, whom I have chosen. I the Lord have spoken."
I never stop the first Friday and first Saturday since three years ago I love it so much that I don’t want to stop until now 2023 and never planned to stop it thank you father Chris 🙏❤

During the apparitions in Akita (Japan- 1973-1981), recognized by the Church, our Mother Mary told Sister Agnes that the only weapons that will remain for us will be the Rosary and the Sign left by her son (the Holy Cross). She asked us to pray for the pope, bishops and priests. Please continue to pray and do not allow yourself to be stripped of your only weapons against evil.
I really loved this talk, Fr. Chris. I heard about Akita awhile back. I listened to it when I got home from Mass. After I listened to it I went straight to bed because the heat is making me so tired.
To Divine Mercy Church and father Chris, being in my twenties, you can imagine that faith can be hard to believe or to feel lost in this big world. Thank you for teaching me and many others in order to have a stronger faith and understanding. I play your videos as I am driving and will listen, or in my free time to educate ❤️ you’re awesome!!
Thank you Father Chris and all the Marian Father's and helpers . I have learned so much more half a century old but I was blind and sinner stiff necked but with Blessed Mother Mary and our Savior Jesus never give up and guide us to get back to the truth and on right path to get to Heaven. I am praying and doing the first Fridays and Saturdays I also found Dave and Joan Maroney there divine mercy Novenas it's opening doors for the salvation of our souls and the holy souls . I pray for my family friends and all a d I am far from perfect but I know where my real work is I am getting back on track. GOD Bless you and prayers lifted up for all🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
May God bless you. Thanks to Father Chris and the Marians I’ve found my way back, from cradle Catholic, to disinterested college student, to lazy “follow all the rules” ie arrive late to Sunday Mass and walk out after communion, confession once a year, type of Catholic to whee I am now, practicing I hope with love, and still practicing until I get it right. God bless you.
Father Chris is so real and so good. I pray for all Priests to have his truth and reverence. The Priest responsibility is great, pray for them. Padre Chris, Dominus Vobiscum.
Thank you Father Chris!! I pray for you always!!! We love you...God is blessing us through your priestly vocation....❤❤❤ thank you for not being afraid....
I have been participating in First Friday and First Saturday devotions for over 10 years. Thanks Father Chris for confirming and affirming this crucial devotion in our times. Special prayers of protection for you as you speak and live the Truth that Our Lady has been speaking and warning us all these years. God bless and keep you Father Chris!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Fr Chris, thank you for doing these talks. I’ve learned so very much from you and feel stronger in my Faith than ever before. I began doing the First Fridays and First Saturdays since the beginning of Covid. I plan to faithfully do them as long as possible. I’m sad because the local churches here don’t offer them. I will continue to join you here! God bless you Father for being a warrior to help us save our souls!!
Father Chris, never stop making these videos. I educate my children with them and I strengthen my faith and educate myself as well. God bless you!!!! ❤❤❤❤
Joining you in prayers for the health and protection of Father Chris and of Father Don. They are fearless warriors for Divine Mercy and Our Lady. They have both been pivotal in my faith life.
You know what blows my mind? That so many people have that much free time to protest against those whom worship . Honestly, those protesters have no business placing scrutiny upon worshipers because they worship in a manner of which they disapprove . A message to those busy body protesters is : mind your own business and take pr8nary concerns over your own spiritual needs .
Father, I knew John Haffert. He was an amazing man. He began the Scapular Apostolate in the United States, and continued his mission when he started the World Apostolate of Fatima - commonly called The Blue Army. When he retired as the Director of the Blue Army I was hired to continue the mission. Soon after a priest was appointed the Director and I worked under him for a few months.
Thank you Fr Chris for preaching the truth. By preaching the truth like you do Fr Chris it sets the people free. Happy dappy lovey dovey homilies are useless, they achieve nothing. Happy dappy homilies deceive and betray people. People need to know Heaven hell and purgatory exist. People need to repent and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation because its so important to be always ready for that most amazing journey. Because the destination is out of this world.God bless.

Thank you and God bless you for taking the time to watch with us
My Father has a devotion to her!🥰
Blessed be the Lord and Our Lady of Akita! Precisely what I needed to hear!🥰
I will be one of 20,000! I remember when I was younger, my parents parish used to pray the First Friday devotion. I will look up more about both 1st Friday and Saturdays. Thank you Fr. Chris. God bless you! I enjoy listening to your talks and homilies.
You are such a blessing Fr. Chris for everyone. Thanks a lot and God Bless
Amen when I count my blessings I count Father Chris twice.
Praying for you Father Chris. May Saint Blaze protect your throat so that your voice of the Way, the Truth and the Light be amplified in His Glory.
May all the angels and saints serve you in the guidance of the sheep❤
Fr Chris is a good shepherd to his flock. We are so blessed by him!
Amen
Saint Blaise, please intercede for Father Chris
@@alwaysmisskaryn amen! We need Fr Chris’ voice now more than ever. 🙏
Inspiring talk Fr. Alar. We are grateful and pray for you at MWOJ at St. Therese in Mooresville and our sister parish, St. Mark's, in Huntersville where you got your vocation.
Yes, thank you! Prayers for you all too!
Father Chris, you have taught me so much about my Catholic faith and brings me so much peace. I hunger for your teachings and appreciate all the time you put in to bringing our faith to life again and again. God Bless you and all the Marian fathers.
❤ thank you so much fr. cris
😅Ii8iy8
What Fr. Alar has said so really true. I am one of those who is constantly tempted to leave formation, please pray with me.
Oh. I will definitely pray for you! We need you. 🙏
Definitely you are in our prayers. May God bless you. Keep your sacramentals, prayer cards, holy water etc. close. May God bless you always.
There is no record of a priest who
Was committed to one hour a day
in adoration
One can start with twenty minutes a day and each Saturday add one minute . In less than a year one will be spending one hour each day . If no church is available,just
sit facing a church and ask our Lord to send his light , passing through every obstacle right into your heart and soul. If you have trouble with consistency.just start
where you left off. I think it took me six months to reach 22 minutes a day
Add on no record of any priest leaving the priesthood that spent on hour a day in adoration
Ask saints who practiced one hour a day in Adoration to pray with you
and for you St. Alphonse Ligoure,Fulton Sheen,Mother Theresa and her. sisters of Charity
Thank you, Fr. Chris, for a very informative (and scary in a sense) talk. Praying that all will hear Mary's warning; I certainly will try to heed her warning. May God bless, strengthen & protect you in your ministry. God bless the Marians.
Thank you Fr. Chris for this very interesting, first Saturday talk about Our Lady of Akita. May you continue to give us beautiful and important talks, in maintaining our faith.
Fr Chris is teaching us to know our faith so we can love it more - God bless him! And God bless you, too, Evangeline. 🙏 Always a pleasure to see you here.
Wish I had a good priest like this one 🙏
ME TOO GOD BLESS FR CHRIS 🙏 THANK YOU FR
Me too. Our priest wont do divine mercy sunday devotions
Pray for the priests at our parishes
Same here! Our priests and Bishops are failing us and themselves so they can feel comfortable. 😢
@@56Tyskiethat’s the right strategy! Our priests are in desperate need of our prayers. 🙏🙏
Praise the Lord for Fr. Chris Alar. For teaching the faithful of our Lady's message for our salvation.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Please don’t stop these first Saturday teachings. The church needs this desperately. I’m praying for you and all the Marian Fathers.
Thank you and God bless you
@@DivineMercy_Official ❤️You’re welcome, and He has more than I could ever deserve. He’s so so good!
Father God have mercy on us. Jesus help us. Holy Spirit enlighten us. Mother Mary, all the angels and saints pray for us. Amen.
Father Chris.. you are the shepherd that brought this long lost sheep back into the fold. I am eternally grateful for having found you. You have taught be more in the past year than I was taught at St Mary's elementary and catechism combined. I was punished often for asking the questions have been answering. I tear up during every sermon overwhelmed with many emotions.
Oh, thank you so much for sharing that and for being open to God's grace!
Thank you Fr Chris for a wonderful informative talk about Our Lady of Akita. May God bless you & strengthen your ministry. God bless the Marians!
God bless you, dear Marie! 🙏
I visited our lady of Akita and it was wonderful experience. I got goosebumps as I saw the statue of our lady of Akita .
The nuns showed us the dried tears on cottons from the statue, it was so amazing!
@@zenaidachina7005it’s strange that it isn’t full of faithful. It is like they wanted to keep it understated
@@Nonofurbzness and also, this is relatively recent. Happened in my lifetime, but during my college years, so I’m sure I wasn’t in tune with my faith back then.
God Bless you Father Chris Alar

Count me *IN* Father... I'll be starting 1st Fridays & Saturdays this weekend. Thank you for your guidance! I keep you in my prayers daily. 🙏🏻
That is awesome, God bless you for being open to God's grace
Our Lady of Akita, pray for us. Amen 🙏
I appreciate your talks very much, Father Chris. Thank You for the power you tap into and pour back out on us with them. 🙏🏻❤
Thank you for first Saturdays
Thank you so much Father Chris, we need more faithful priest like you and the Marians. May God protect you under the blood and water of our Lord ♥️🤍🙏
In JESUS name
I watch this again after finding out sister Agnes Sasagawa went home to God on the feast of Assumption
Our Lady of Akita pray that the first Fris and Sats may be offered in many more parishes and dioceses for the eternal good of our human family 🕊🌎 TY Fr Chris 💙🎚️
Amen🙏🙏
We have first friday but not first Saturday. Our priest dont believe in first saturdays
Thank you very much fr Chris God You Amen 🙏
Father Chris you do speak the the Truth, but you do it out of Love. You have combined the two. ❤ ❤❤
Totally agree! He is truth and love. God bless you, Mike!
I agree, nothing intimidating about Father Chris, and he always ends on a joyful note.
Quite a lot of devotions to make a habit this 2024. Thanks Father Christ.
It's interesting that the tears stopped flowing in 1981, the year Our Lady started appearing in Međjugorje! And she hasn't stopped because we need her. She wants to help us. And God is permitting her to. She is our refuge in these end times ❤ Međugorje is the continuation and fulfilment of Fatima. All these apparitions are connected, to help us through these difficult times ❤
1981 seems so special. An apparition also occurred in Kibeho , Rwanda
Thank You Blessed Mother Mary for this devotion and salvation of our soles 📿🕯
It’s now September 4, 2024. I’m listening with great interest. I believe what you are saying. God bless. I wear the scapular.
Thank you Father Chris, you have been part of my daily rosary intentions since day 1 of Explaining The Faith. I have learned 99% of my new Catholic faith from you. I thank you and ask God’s graces and blessings on you and look forward to meeting some day, here or in Heaven ❤️
Fr Chris will put us on the right path which will help lead us to heaven. God bless you, Amiee!
Thank you and God bless you!
Fr. Chris, I so appreciate you taking time to teach us and do these talks!
Me, too! I know he loves his Marian Helper family, and it shows. God bless you, Jose!
Fr. Chris always in my prayers as you are one amazing ambassador for our God, Our lord and Queen. Many still will not listen and many go back to their old ways, as our Lady Immaculate conception states. Great warnings. Thank you.
I've been attending Mass on First Friday for years now (it was a tradition in my Jesuit school). Thanks Father for explaining First Saturday. I'll try my best to start attending Mass for that
Keep up the Great work!
I have been attending first Saturday since my conversion 7 years ago. But, recently reduce going to church but still with rosary and confession. Thank you Ft Chris to remind and give me the strength to continue again. With God s grace will start again going for mass on first Saturday. 🙏🏼
Love you Father Chris.
U2
Ty Fr. This was a very sobering message. I've completed the first Fridays and Saturdays. But now an trying the first Fridays with my 11 year old son. After your talks i see how must always do the first Saturdays and Fridays. I wish the world would listen. Starting with my husband. Thanks again!
That is awesome, God bless you and your son!
Prayers for your husband 🙏
Fr. Chris - That was an extremely helpful image of sin being a "lightning rod" for the wrath of God the Father. May we all be detached from that lightning rod!
Yes
Thank you Fr Chris
Thank you Father Chris please never stop fighting for our souls god bless you amen
DEAREST FATHER ALAR THANK YOU INFINITELY FOR YOUR AMAZING MINISTRY AND MAY GOD BLESS AND REWARD YOU GREATLY !!! We learn SO MUCH from you ! THANK YOU AGAIN !!!PRAISE GOD FOR OUR HOLY PRIESTS LIKE FATHER ALAR !!! 🙏🙏🙏
Thank you and God bless you
That's the one thing that I always will need in my life and that's God's mercy because I'm a sinner and in need of his forgiveness and love. I pray the mercy prayer daily and always ask for mercy for the whole world in my Rosary prayer and personal prayers with Abba daily. NO; JESUS PLEASE, MY LORD, KING, AND SAVIOR, DON'T TAKE AWAY MY MERCY. I NEED TO BE A SAINT AND A NUN, LIKE ST. BRIDGETT AND BE WITH YOU FOR ALL ETERNITY. AMEN🙏
I thank God for you Fr Chris. Because of your teachings, I understand more about Jesus Love and Divine Mercy, moreso, I am so much in love with our Blessed Mother Mary. God bless you Fr Chris, and all the Marian Priests and all the Priests and Religious in the world, Amen.
I will come visit you someday and listen to your talk, live!
Great
Hi Father Chris, you explained very well the wrath of the Father. It answered the question that I had for very long to time. God bless you more!
Thank you for leading me back to Jesus! You played a big role in my conversion. I am praying to God to use me to spread The Divine Mercy.
I hope to meet you in the Philippines to personally thank you. Please include me in your prayers.
from Our Lord's 5/31/2020 message to disciple (Julian Soto Ayala): "The hidden weapons of world domination, the enemy forces of Mine, of My church and of My faithful disciples, who follow Me, do violence to us. It is now, My children, that the Kingdom of Heaven on Earth suffers violence (Matt 11:12), it is now that the striving brave will enter it.
First it was, the elaboration of a "Master Plan" then... Infiltration, achieving the highest domains, then... Then came manipulation, betrayal and control of the media. From the highest echelons of the Church, Satan worked tirelessly, until introducing a false pastor, who will soon leave his post to make way for "the greatest of abominations." The false shepherd has sold the sheep into total confusion, making them believe that they follow the truth, while he himself, in his person, is full of lies and stubborn pride. He submits, to obedience, all My already polluted and perverted church, and has usurped the power of the primacy of Peter and corrupted the Petrine throne; that is why he does not have the power of the "Keys of the Kingdom of Heaven (Matt 16:19)". Behind him, the strings of the hands of those, who control everything move, move and order him, force him to make subtle statements that are leading My children to confusion and division.
My simple, humble children, who seek to love Me and follow Me. The sects are the works of the devil; falsehood and lie is in the pastors. Romans 1:22, 'boasting of wise men, they became fools.' Priests and bishop theologians are denying My Resurrection, and denying, with infiltrated lies, My Real Presence in the Eucharist. The theology of modernism, the theology of liberation, the theology of humanism are sharp, pointed arrows that wound My Heart. False ecumenism will drive Me out of the Church, out of My altars, because they will embrace false human doctrines that are only commands of wicked men. The union of world religions will no longer accept My Pure and Holy Immaculate Mother as Mother of God, My Mother and Mother of Humanity.
Thus they have subdued many of My children, who have anxiety and fear, because they do not want to leave the prostituted Church, it is the feeling of the world. Oh... My disciple continues to write... although doing so costs you a great effort. I the Lord keep speaking... Whoever wants to understand understands… Listen to the Voice of the Shepherd who lays down his life for the sheep. My prophets announce you and warn you in My Name, because I Jesus have taken you for Me. They will not suffer any harm as long as they fulfill their mission. My Church is now like a boat shaken by waves and storm, the impostor has guided it into troubled waters and lost its way! This time had to come... Do not be surprised that I repeat it again... Religious control is being exercised with the worldwide economic support of the powers of the master of this world, who seem to triumph under the protection of bishops and cardinals, who unduly usurped the command. My children, My power is greater, much greater... than the false power that rules the world. Either you are with Me, or you are against Me! You have heard and read it... that he who claims to be a friend of the world becomes My enemy. The traitor is here... My church has been sold... yet I preserve, with My grace, those, whom I have chosen. I the Lord have spoken."
I never stop the first Friday and first Saturday since three years ago I love it so much that I don’t want to stop until now 2023 and never planned to stop it thank you father Chris 🙏❤
I pray every day that you Father Chris and all the Marian priests
So do I! All priests need our prayers. God bless you, Barbara! 🙏
Father Elias of the Friars of the Immaculate visits Sister Agnes of Our Lady of Akita, Part 1Father Elias of the Friars of the Immaculate visits Sister Agnes of Our Lady of Akita, Part 1
During the apparitions in Akita (Japan- 1973-1981), recognized by the Church, our Mother Mary told Sister Agnes that the only weapons that will remain for us will be the Rosary and the Sign left by her son (the Holy Cross). She asked us to pray for the pope, bishops and priests. Please continue to pray and do not allow yourself to be stripped of your only weapons against evil.
I really loved this talk, Fr. Chris. I heard about Akita awhile back. I listened to it when I got home from Mass. After I listened to it I went straight to bed because the heat is making me so tired.
Thank you for watching with us and God bless you
To Divine Mercy Church and father Chris,
being in my twenties, you can imagine that faith can be hard to believe or to feel lost in this big world. Thank you for teaching me and many others in order to have a stronger faith and understanding. I play your videos as I am driving and will listen, or in my free time to educate ❤️ you’re awesome!!
Thank you Father Chris and all the Marian Father's and helpers . I have learned so much more half a century old but I was blind and sinner stiff necked but with Blessed Mother Mary and our Savior Jesus never give up and guide us to get back to the truth and on right path to get to Heaven. I am praying and doing the first Fridays and Saturdays I also found Dave and Joan Maroney there divine mercy Novenas it's opening doors for the salvation of our souls and the holy souls . I pray for my family friends and all a d I am far from perfect but I know where my real work is I am getting back on track. GOD Bless you and prayers lifted up for all🙏❤️🙏❤️🙏
Yes they are good
May God bless you. Thanks to Father Chris and the Marians I’ve found my way back, from cradle Catholic, to disinterested college student, to lazy “follow all the rules” ie arrive late to Sunday Mass and walk out after communion, confession once a year, type of Catholic to whee I am now, practicing I hope with love, and still practicing until I get it right. God bless you.
Father Chris is so real and so good. I pray for all Priests to have his truth and reverence. The Priest responsibility is great, pray for them.
Padre Chris, Dominus Vobiscum.
Thank you Father Chris!! I pray for you always!!! We love you...God is blessing us through your priestly vocation....❤❤❤ thank you for not being afraid....

I have been participating in First Friday and First Saturday devotions for over 10 years. Thanks Father Chris for confirming and affirming this crucial devotion in our times. Special prayers of protection for you as you speak and live the Truth that Our Lady has been speaking and warning us all these years. God bless and keep you Father Chris!!! 🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful!
I ❤ LOVE ❤️ the First Saturdays. Please continue them. I am learning so so so much about my lifelong faith. May God and Jesus bless you ✝️🩷🙏🏻
God bless you Father Chris
Fr Chris, thank you for doing these talks. I’ve learned so very much from you and feel stronger in my Faith than ever before.
I began doing the First Fridays and First Saturdays since the beginning of Covid. I plan to faithfully do them as long as possible. I’m sad because the local churches here don’t offer them. I will continue to join you here! God bless you Father for being a warrior to help us save our souls!!
Thank you for being with us and God bless you
I've done my second of the first five Saturdays devotion. Please pray for me to be able to finish them🙏

Thank you, Fr. Chris....God bless you always!!!!

Thank you Fr. Chris. These talks are certainly a sign of the times. May we make good use of all the graces showered up us.
Yes
Thank you. My eyes are fully open. Prayer & Reparation.
Thank you Fr. Chris for another insightful and inspirational discussion. Please don't stop giving these talks; they are very edifying for we faithful.
THank you Fr Alar!
Thank you for watching and God bless you
Thank you Father Chris, I really am grateful you give these talks. Very important you share your knowledge with the flock.
Thanks for listening
I’m near 71 y.o. and learn a lot from Father Chris’ lectures that I hadn’t know , even though I went to parochial schools for 12 years .
The message of Akita indicates to me a global thermonuclear war .
You know what blows my mind? That so many people have that much free time to protest against those whom worship . Honestly, those protesters have no business placing scrutiny upon worshipers because they worship in a manner of which they disapprove . A message to those busy body protesters is : mind your own business and take pr8nary concerns over your own spiritual needs .
@@honey-feeney9800 So true. Being young and immature, we took it all for granted.
Fr. Chris. Superb!!! Thank you!! This apparition says it all. 🙏❤️
Father,
I knew John Haffert. He was an amazing man. He began the Scapular Apostolate in the United States, and continued his mission when he started the World Apostolate of Fatima - commonly called The Blue Army.
When he retired as the Director of the Blue Army I was hired to continue the mission. Soon after a priest was appointed the Director and I worked under him for a few months.
I really appreciate this I wish we had this in Miami
Thank you Fr. Chris! May God bless you for being so brave.❤I thank God for you.
Thank you Fr Chris for preaching the truth. By preaching the truth like you do Fr Chris it sets the people free. Happy dappy lovey dovey homilies are useless, they achieve nothing. Happy dappy homilies deceive and betray people. People need to know Heaven hell and purgatory exist. People need to repent and receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation because its so important to be always ready for that most amazing journey. Because the destination is out of this world.God bless.
Thank you for joining us and God bless you
