I reverted to my Catholic faith after 40 years as a Protestant pastor. Currently studying the lives of the saints. God has led my here. Thank you father, keep up the great work.

My name is from my grandmother's Mary and Rosario. so now I have a devotion for mama Mary I love her and I want to visit every place the holy mother has visited. I also have a St therese bracelet.

From the Philippines
Why hello Mary Rose! :) I am very happy you took the time to write to me and I am honored you and your family are watching these talks. God bless you all and know that you are in our prayers! Your message encouraged me greatly to keep going because we are reaching great people like you. And don't worry, Jesus will stay with you and keep bringing you back to him.... just let him do that, okay? Please write to me anytime and know that we are here to help :)
Maryrose is the name of my first cousin too. You are so cute as a 12-year old to take the time to write to Fr. Chris. God bless you more dear. I'm from Philippines too. 😇😇😇😇😇
They put the mentally in apartments, give them EBT cards and there own their own. My son was put in one with the nearest Catholic Church 6 miles away with which required two buses in a suspect neighborhood. And most importantly no therapy. They're own there own. What do they expect? What they sometimes get is suicide among suicidal patients forgotten by the medical establishment.
St. Therese picked me as a tiny girl (the 11th of 14) in our family. Mom read me a child’s book on her and I know she has been with me ever since helping me on my little way. I am 76 now and thank her eternally!
Susan M thank you for sharing you have very beautiful testimony. God knows you. So well that he used a child’s book to bring you a great intercessor Saint Therese pray for us
My sister asks for her help often and gets roses in all kinds of places. I've gotten a rose, and after a 9 day novena for my cat to return home I had the smell of roses while mowing a field and I knew my prayer was answered. When I got home there was my cat.
Awww I feel the same! She's my confirmation saint and I've always said that she picked me :) I was always getting little saint statues of her randomly from family members, and I've always loved flowers. She's amazing and picking her as my confirmation saint was a no-brainer - one of the only decisions in my life that I've been absolutely certain about with no hesitation 😂 that was almost 8 years ago!
This is one of my most favorite talks of Fr. Chris Alar. Fr. Chris Alar God bless you and we thank you so much for your incredible work. St. Terese of Lisieux, doctor of the Church, thank you so much for showing us the little way to heaven, the little way to our Father in heaven, the little way to his love and mercy. I am just like you, the littlest of child, a little flower. I can't do great deeds to God but I have great immense love to God and I pray that the little I can do to God be done with that great love to God. I have great desire to God's love and his mercy and I trust in Jesus because he is the vessel to God's love and mercy. Without you Jesus I am nothing. Jesus I trust in you. St. Terese of Lisieux pray for us always and forever.
Saint Therese, Little Flower,Pray for us and guide us in the little way to Heaven. Thank You Father Chris, your travel stories, give powerful testimony. Praying for you and Gods kingdom to come. God bless all who read these words "Jesus, I trust in You "
Some parts of England are very devoid of Catholic Churches and my friend and I were once picking some lay people up from a ship that docked on Sunday from Sweden He had a great devotion to St Therese and the Carmelites.We were loaned a minibus that was a wreck terribly unstable at any speed over 20 mph So we set off very early that Sunday confident that we'd find a mass somewhere on the way to the port to fullfill our obligation for Sunday We tried numerous country towns and places on the way with no success masses either over or no church.We picked up the group and decided to try again on the way back but as it got to evening the chances were getting slimmer of an evening mass anywhere Finally we stopped for a travel break and by this time my friend thought it was impossible I said why don't you ask St Therese for help I'll try to find out if there are any Churches nearby I asked the first person I met if there were any Catholic Churches there and she said yes just a few yards away St Therese they'll be having an evening mass
Fr. Alar, this morning after listening to your talk about St. Philomena, I asked her to give me an answer to a very pressing question. I went on to listen to this talk and YOU gave me the answer in the first 5 minutes of the start! Praised be God and the help of His Saints!!!
Oh how I've missed your great talks Fr. Chris...I love your energy! The Holy Spirit is so alive in you! I was hospitalized with Covid having a long recovery & missed so many wonderful talks..Praise God my brain is functioning well & I can now be in seminary class again!!! St. Therese is such a dear friend & you brought out all the wonderful teachings of the Little Way! Praying for you, all Marians & Marian helpers🙏
Way back in the mid '70's I was in the Navy and was in California. I met Mother Theresa totally unexpectedly. The people moved aside and this little woman was standing right in front of me. I knelt immediately and implored her to bless me, which she did.
Hello Fr. Chris! My kids were waiting for this.😊 We include your teachings in our homeschooling activities as part of the Catholic Education They love listening to you esp my youngest who just turned 7years old. Every day he would ask for a Fr. Chris Alar teaching. His favorite is Angels. The kids also love the Padre Pio teaching and would listen 2-3x. My eldest son has been using "Have mercy, Mommy. " when he gets into trouble. He got it when we all were amused by your cameraman saying Have mercy when he didn't press record after your teaching.😊 Thank you very much Fr Chris and the entire team you have. You are all a gift from GOD! His abundant blessings and favors be upon you and the work you do for His Kingdom! 🙏 Ybanez Family from the Philippines
Wow, Lala.... that is awesome! Thank you so much for sharing :) I sent this to my Cameraman Giuseppe and he laughed :) God bless you and your family and keeping you in prayers.
Thank you for your goodness Father Chris I loved this spiritual teaching she is one of my favorite Saints. Praying for your family Father, Mother & sister🙏🏼♥️🙏🏼
Thank you Fr. Chris! I love listening to all your talks on Explaining the Faith. You are an awesome teacher and priest. I appreciate all your efforts toward nourishing our souls. May God bless you and protect you.
Thank you Fr Chris for our free Seminary Class. Another interesting Saint that I pray a lot for her intercession. St Therese of Lisieux pray for us. What a coincidence that everytime you travel something happened. But with God mercy and trusting him you were able to fly back safely. God is Good. Praying for you, your parents and Pam. God bless you, your family MIC and Marian Helpers❤️🙏
Thank you SO much Fr. Alar. God has blessed us with your powerful teaching and witnessing. Abundant grace for a world hungry to know the truth that sustains, consoles, transforms lives, giving light to live a good life and find unexplainable peace.
Excellent synopsis , my souls at rest when it rests in the Lord. His Word Mother Mary angels and saints in Heaven, Little flower thank you for answering my request and I'd love to receive a rose from a Woman for my intentions, wretched sinner I am please ask God to pour his Mercy on all I think do say live life!I love receiving Jesus it gives a comfort and peace that the world cannot give me.

Mijamina -my daughter in law is from Philippines and is very faithful but has relatives there who listen to news like CNN which is mostly lies. Please beware of that.
Ft. Chris, these talks are amazing-. I wish I would have learned all these things earlier-but apparently the plan was I learn them now. I was raised Catholic, left the church, and came back about 16 years ago. I can really relate to St. Therese,and St Faustina. I am reading St. Faustina's diary and I find it fascinating. When she talks about her inner struggles- I relate to it and it reminds me we are not alone in those deep inner struggles that only God can really know about each of us. It is so great to read her struggles and St Therese's struggles...they were ordinary- very encouraging. I feel very ordinary-! It also reminds me we always need to remember, everyone has inner struggles even if they appear not to, and helps me to be merciful to others. Thanks for all these amazing talks. Life changing.
Thank you Fr. Chris! St. Therese is my Confirmation patron saint! Oh how I appreciate your dedication to the Marian Helpers to bring us these wonderful seminary teachings! God bless you, all the Marians, the Marian Helpers, and everyone at the Shrine! Praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ! St. Therese, please pray for us! ❤️🙏🏼✝️❤️
Fr. Chris? You’ve become my lifeline stringing me to Jesus Christ! I attend Mass regularly, more prayerful and now an adoration ambassador! Thank you Father for leading me! I love you!
My name is Marie Therese and I am the eldest of 12 children. The relic of St Therese saved me from death when my mother had a very difficult labour. I have great faith in her &. Padre Pio.
Betty, thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony. I have only, within the past couple of years, begun to truly realize the power of the saints and our Mother Mary and to use them for intercession. What a glorious gift He has given us! To feel their presence when I pray gives me such strength and comfort. On the flip side, I am also more aware of their absence when I am asked to travel a road without them… for example a road of penance and forgiveness. I truly feel alone as I stand before God in sorrow and shame. Have a blessed day. Continued prayers for all our Marian family. 🙏🏼💙🕊
Thank you, Fr. Chris, for a beautiful, inspiritual (and entertaining) presentation on St. Therese of Lisieux & the Little Way. God bless you & strengthen you in your ministry.
Thank you Fr Chris, I've learned so much more about my patron saint thanks to you! I love listening to your series Explaining The Faith and i recommend your series to everyone i could. You affected my way of teaching catechism to the teenagers in my parish and they love it. May the mighty God bless you and your crew always! Sending love and appreciation from Vietnam! Sain Therese's feast day is also coming, St Therese please pray for Fr Chris, his crew, the Marian priests and all of us! ♥
Thank you Fr. Alar for teaching us with so much Love! Please don’t ever stop! My faith and love of God grows more and more learning from you! Immaculate heart of Mary please pray for our amazing Marian priests🙏🏼❤️
As usual, Fr Chris, your talks are so inspiring and you are able to bring the topic to life. Thank you so much for this talk, may God bless you always.
just came across your vlog, why only now, i regret.. but so thankful, anyway... you seem to be always with great zeal n well energized when you give talk n you never fail to inspire us with your powerful insights...
Fr. Chris your teachings are so rich that we are reminded of our faith. Thank you and may the Lord continue manifesting in you every day so that we get more revelation.
Bless you Father Chris for this inspiring talk! It encouraged me to continue to not only pray, but to do with love, all that Lord asks of me. God bless you ! Laureen
There is no way for me to express in words the gift you have just given me through this talk. Thank you so much for the gift. God bless and protect you Father Chris. I will be praying for you. May we meet one day. ♥
I once said the novena to St. Theresa without telling anyone. On the ninth day my husband brought me a beautiful red rose. He didn't know. But Theresa did. Thank you dear Little Flower for prayers answered by our Lord.
Thank you so much for doing this talk on St Therese of Liseux again it is such a Beautiful Blessing in my life to go to seminary lass each Saturday that I sometime listen to then a few times. God Bless you Fr Chris and all those behind the scenes helping spread Gods Mercy in the world. May God Bless the gentleman on the plane and the person who gave you the money to arrive on time. God is always on time.
Thank you Fr. Chris for all of your outstanding talks. A novena to St. Therese describes the little way as “doing ordinary things with extraordinary love”
Thank you Father Chris! I watched this with some breaks, because I had to pray at the Divine Mercy and then the Rosary. Before the rosary I was sad, because I miss understood when you said we didn't have to pray 1000 prayers; I was sad because I pray a lot hoping to save souls; wondered if I was wasting my time. As I was praying with everyone the rosary; my thoughts where a jumble, all of a sudden my wonderful brothers and sisters started to send me hearts and kind words. This is when I realized that the Lord was sending me reassurances to keep praying, because it does make a difference. Thank you for providing all of us the ability to pray with others through the Divine Mercy and the rosary chats. I am not sure if everyone at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy realizes that through your many channels and our prayers, you are saving many people in the United States of America and the world from chastisement. Thank you again. Many blessings and answers to your prayers. Viva Cristo Rey!
Yes, Pie, if you pray 1,000 Rosaries with complete and utter love and devotion with no distractions then yes, that is good. We were saying that one rosary like that is worth more than 100 Rosaries with no focus or love.
@@DivineMercy_Official I only pray 4 rosaries a day and sometimes I fall asleep while praying one. I pray a lot of other prayer all though out the day. Thanks.
I pray to our Lady of Gualope and Teresa of Avlo and Teresa of Linux and my Gaudian Angele. I an they committed a miracle by open the door when service I didn't want to go, because I had only the c Going assistant livig, in my clothes on my back and I didn't have my Ctap. I pray to our Lady of Gualope and Teresa of Avlo and Teresa of Linux were she stared 28 oder the Camelite.
I would have secretly crumbled in defeat if I didn’t learn from Saint Sister Therese that there is no need for great works or penances. I’ll make it to Heaven by my little tiny ways. Father Alar, everything you wrote in your book aligns with all you teach me in your videos. What I interpreted from last night’s reading: Mass is the free, no strings attached, obtainable golden ticket to sanctification, making me holy so I won’t have to spend half of eternity in purgatory. 😃
Father Chris! What an awesome teacher/preacher of the word of God and our saints and the traditions with a capital T in our most Beautiful Catholic Faith.🔥🔥🔥💕😊 Rosemarie
This touched me deeply in an unreachable place in my heart. I have had many times in my life felt alone. the feeling that something is wanted from me with God's prompting I try to listen. Living alone allows me time to listen free my self from distractions . I want to save souls for Jesus. Please Jesus give me strength to get through those times that cause me distress and lead me to deeper trust Thank you for choosing me now I have a better understanding that beings me comfort. I praise you Jesus in all things
Hopefully you can make time for being alone with the Lord before the blessed sacrament in the tabernacle. Being alone with the Lord is a good way to redirect our thoughts.
Fr. Chris, thank you for this beautiful talk on the life of St. Therese of Lisieux. I want to share something in connection to her. On November 21, 1968, I entered the Carmelite Monastery as a contemplative nun. Ten months after, I received the Carmelite Habit and was given the name of Sr. Miriam Thérèse of the Child Jesus after St. Therese, but added the Hebrew name of Miriam for Mary, as explained to me by the Mother Prioress. While kneeling before her, she crossed my forehead telling me to become a saint like St. Therese. That was really a big surprise to me because I didn’t think at that time I could become one in comparison to my namesake. During my 9 years, I enjoyed very much the long hours of prayers at the same time struggling to cope up what was expected from me. Remembering the name given to me, I often talked to St. Therese and followed her Childhood Spirituality. It’s been 52 years since I left the monastery, but day and night, I never stop invoking her to help me.I have her statue on my altar and keep her book I used to read in the monastery. I often thank her for guiding me that I may always please God and Mother Mary. The little way of St. Therese gives so much peace, simplicity and confidence in God’s loving care. He loves us all.
I feel SO RELIEVED after hearing this talk!!! St. Therese and Faustina are my favorites, I feel like they are my friends! I can relate to them in many ways! Thank you for shedding light on these two important saints, I am praying Faustina becomes a doctor of the church. Listening to this took such a weight off my shoulders, I’ve been borderline struggling with being scrupulous and getting into a bad cycle of guilt /overthinking /worry. I SO NEEDED TO HEAR THIS ❤ God Bless you!!!!
Thankyou Fr Alar for your teachings on the Explaining The Faith Series. I am learning so much from these teachings ..Thanks for explaining the Little Way: its much.easier to be able use the little deeds of love . ..
I think some day someone will be using Fr. Chris as as example of a saint as he does with saints. He seems so humble and loves us because he loves God. I’m so thankful for his ministry. I’m being molded from a lump of hard clay into something useful because his words give me hope. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊 I guess he will never know how he helps others so far away and so “little” until he meets Jesus.
THank you SM and God bless you.... yes, I a nothing but a broken tool but I pray to God for him to use me. God bless you for supporting our Divine Mercy ministry and know that you are in our prayers!
@@DivineMercy_Official 🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽 thank you. I will continue my prayers for you and all priests and nuns. I’m so happy to see that we have young priests in the seminary, Kenrick Seminary, here in St. Louis. I pray for preachers or any person leading the way to holiness.
Wow father Chris what a wonderful talk it was how we save souls it is amegin I think now all will become saints by doing things with great love and saving souls you know father this tolk has become me a tonic thank you father 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 I'm praying for you and for your mom Dad and sister God bless you father and pray for me too

What an inspiring and powerful message Fr. Chris.. thank you for sharing with us the Little Way! St. Therese of Lisieux, pray for us and help us to live out the "Little Way" each day. 🙏🏼 God bless you and your ministry Fr. Chris, together with the Marian Helpers.. We are very grateful for all that you do in spreading the Divine Mercy message. ❤️

When she talks about her inner struggles- I relate to it and it reminds me we are not alone in those deep inner struggles that only God can really know about each of us. It is so great to read her struggles and St Therese's struggles...they were ordinary- very encouraging. I feel very ordinary-! It also reminds me we always need to remember, everyone has inner struggles even if they appear not to, and helps me to be merciful to others. Thanks for all these amazing talks. Life changing.
Thank you for watching with us and God bless you

Thank you Fr Chris on this beautiful Saturday talk on St Therese 🌸
Wonderful talk Father. Keeping all of the Marion Family in my thoughts and prayers. St. Therese, pray for us. 🙏🏼
My name is Marie Therese and I am the eldest of 12 children. The relic of St Therese saved me from death when my mother had a very difficult
labour. I have great faith in her &. Padre Pio.
Betty, thank you for sharing your beautiful testimony. I have only, within the past couple of years, begun to truly realize the power of the saints and our Mother Mary and to use them for intercession. What a glorious gift He has given us! To feel their presence when I pray gives me such strength and comfort. On the flip side, I am also more aware of their absence when I am asked to travel a road without them… for example a road of penance and forgiveness. I truly feel alone as I stand before God in sorrow and shame. Have a blessed day. Continued prayers for all our Marian family. 🙏🏼💙🕊
Thank you Fr. Alar. Please pray for me and my family. God Bless you always.
Yes, Kathleen, God bless

Love this talk so much. Thank you Fr.
I once said the novena to St. Theresa without telling anyone. On the ninth day my husband brought me a beautiful red rose. He didn't know. But Theresa did. Thank you dear Little Flower for prayers answered by our Lord.
Thank you dear Father Chris once more.(Philippines)
Love your enthusiasm and energy. It’s infectious. Learned so much today. Love the “Little Way.” You’re awesome, Fr. Alar… you’ll make a great saint!!
Thank you for joining us :)
Thank you so much for doing this talk on St Therese of Liseux again it is such a Beautiful Blessing in my life to go to seminary lass each Saturday that I sometime listen to then a few times. God Bless you Fr Chris and all those behind the scenes helping spread Gods Mercy in the world. May God Bless the gentleman on the plane and the person who gave you the money to arrive on time. God is always on time.
Fr. Chris, I am filled with joy, while listening to you Fr.
Thank you for joining us William and God bless you!
Thank you Fr. Chris for all of your outstanding talks.
A novena to St. Therese describes the little way as “doing ordinary things with extraordinary love”
Thank you Father Chris! I watched this with some breaks, because I had to pray at the Divine Mercy and then the Rosary. Before the rosary I was sad, because I miss understood when you said we didn't have to pray 1000 prayers; I was sad because I pray a lot hoping to save souls; wondered if I was wasting my time. As I was praying with everyone the rosary; my thoughts where a jumble, all of a sudden my wonderful brothers and sisters started to send me hearts and kind words. This is when I realized that the Lord was sending me reassurances to keep praying, because it does make a difference. Thank you for providing all of us the ability to pray with others through the Divine Mercy and the rosary chats.
I am not sure if everyone at the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy realizes that through your many channels and our prayers, you are saving many people in the United States of America and the world from chastisement. Thank you again. Many blessings and answers to your prayers. Viva Cristo Rey!
Yes, Pie, if you pray 1,000 Rosaries with complete and utter love and devotion with no distractions then yes, that is good. We were saying that one rosary like that is worth more than 100 Rosaries with no focus or love.
@@DivineMercy_Official I only pray 4 rosaries a day and sometimes I fall asleep while praying one. I pray a lot of other prayer all though out the day. Thanks.
Pie Peeya you keep praying 🙏. It is better to pray perfectly but non of us are perfect and practice makes perfect. 🙏❤️👀⬆️
@@roberth1378 Thank you!
Thank you Fr Chris for another wonderful talk. Love your enthusiasm…only you could throw in a hockey reference 🥰 St Therese Pray for us 🙏🏻🌹

I would have secretly crumbled in defeat if I didn’t learn from Saint Sister Therese that there is no need for great works or penances. I’ll make it to Heaven by my little tiny ways.
Father Alar, everything you wrote in your book aligns with all you teach me in your videos. What I interpreted from last night’s reading: Mass is the free, no strings attached, obtainable golden ticket to sanctification, making me holy so I won’t have to spend half of eternity in purgatory. 😃
Praise honor and glory be to you like Jesus Christ now and forever!
Father Chris! What an awesome teacher/preacher of the word of God and our saints and the traditions with a capital T in our most
Beautiful Catholic Faith.🔥🔥🔥💕😊 Rosemarie
Thank you for all you do for us . Enjoy each teaching
Thanks for watching and God bless
St. Therese of Lisieux, please pray for me, my family, and the whole world! Amen!💞🙏
Motherhood is full of love and service. Can you imagine how that very role (which is a lifetime) can convert millions of souls?
Yes, that is exactly right Betty.....
This touched me deeply in an unreachable place in my heart. I have had many times in my life felt alone. the feeling that something is wanted from me with God's prompting I try to listen. Living alone allows me time to listen free my self from distractions . I want to save souls for Jesus. Please Jesus give me strength to get through those times that cause me distress and lead me to deeper trust
Thank you for choosing me now I have a better understanding that beings me comfort.
I praise you Jesus in all things
Hopefully you can make time for being alone with the Lord before the blessed sacrament in the tabernacle. Being alone with the Lord is a good way to redirect our thoughts.
Fr. Chris, thank you for this beautiful talk on the life of St. Therese of Lisieux. I want to share something in connection to her. On November 21, 1968, I entered the Carmelite Monastery as a contemplative nun. Ten months after, I received the Carmelite Habit and was given the name of Sr. Miriam Thérèse of the Child Jesus after St. Therese, but added the Hebrew name of Miriam for Mary, as explained to me by the Mother Prioress. While kneeling before her, she crossed my forehead telling me to become a saint like St. Therese. That was really a big surprise to me because I didn’t think at that time I could become one in comparison to my namesake. During my 9 years, I enjoyed very much the long hours of prayers at the same time struggling to cope up what was expected from me. Remembering the name given to me, I often talked to St. Therese and followed her Childhood Spirituality. It’s been 52 years since I left the monastery, but day and night, I never stop invoking her to help me.I have her statue on my altar and keep her book I used to read in the monastery. I often thank her for guiding me that I may always please God and Mother Mary. The little way of St. Therese gives so much peace, simplicity and confidence in God’s loving care. He loves us all.
Wow, thank you for sharing and God bless you.
Saint Therese feast day is on my birthday. I’m happy that I have decided to make her my confirmation saint. Saint Therese please pray for me.
I feel SO RELIEVED after hearing this talk!!! St. Therese and Faustina are my favorites, I feel like they are my friends! I can relate to them in many ways! Thank you for shedding light on these two important saints, I am praying Faustina becomes a doctor of the church. Listening to this took such a weight off my shoulders, I’ve been borderline struggling with being scrupulous and getting into a bad cycle of guilt /overthinking /worry. I SO NEEDED TO HEAR THIS ❤ God Bless you!!!!
God bless you, Fr Chris for your wisdom
God bless you too
I need to come to mass in person. I really enjoy your sermons. Karen Deneice Prater-Williams💋

Fr. Chris, I love hearing you talk about the Saints. God bless you!!! St. Therese, pray for us.🙏🌹
One of my most favorite saints...Thank you, Fr. Chris.
I think some day someone will be using Fr. Chris as as example of a saint as he does with saints. He seems so humble and loves us because he loves God. I’m so thankful for his ministry. I’m being molded from a lump of hard clay into something useful because his words give me hope. 🙏🏽🙏🏽🕊🕊 I guess he will never know how he helps others so far away and so “little” until he meets Jesus.
THank you SM and God bless you.... yes, I a nothing but a broken tool but I pray to God for him to use me. God bless you for supporting our Divine Mercy ministry and know that you are in our prayers!
@@DivineMercy_Official 🙏🏽🕊🙏🏽 thank you. I will continue my prayers for you and all priests and nuns. I’m so happy to see that we have young priests in the seminary, Kenrick Seminary, here in St. Louis. I pray for preachers or any person leading the way to holiness.
