We are blessed to live in a time where Catholic online content is so good and so accessible. ✝️

I appreciate Fr. Chris and these talks so much! Saying "thank you" isn't even adequate as to how instrumental and important these talks are to us, the people of the Church. We are learning so much. Thank you, Thank you!!

Thank You for this lesson on the Epiphany...I'm a convert who came to Catholicism in 1970 but I didn't get the information about the Catholic faith I should have but I have studied and read the Bible since I was a small child...I was raised to read and study by my mother and developed a love for my faith and in God what I do know now is because of my devotion. I have wanted to take the classes for new Catholics but age and health issues have kept me from taking them. I do so appreciate this lesson this evening truly enjoyed it. Love and God Bless. †

Now this video has over 238,000 views❤🙏🏼 Thank you Fr. Chris 🙏🏼 And you are so right, if we as Catholics were educated in our beautiful faith our love for the Lord and the Church would grow by leaps and bounds! 🙏🏼💕💕💕

Thank you Father and I thank my Uncle who sent me this link yesterday Sunday. I have realized that these teachings alone can change the world at Large, and I believe if I listen to them daily, my thinking will change completely! I have only been going to church and not knowing so many things.

Fr. Alar, you are a gift, your love for God and our faith is infectious and endearing. Thank you for helping me and my brothers and sisters understand our faith!

Saturdays are not complete without your catechetical talk Fr. Chris. Video shared all over the world. Thank you for keeping us closer to Jesus. God bless.♥️🙏🏻

Thank you Fr. Chris and all the Marian fathers. God bless you all for opening up so many eyes and souls that have been closed for too long.

Whenever you think you knew your Bible and Catholic teachings, here comes Fr Chris and blow your mind with a new enlightenment, facts, revelation and wisdom. The “bible” the only Book that His Author is forever alive and present..! God bless you father and blessed Epiphany to all 🙏

I thank God every day for leading me to you. God bless you and all of the Marian priests who dedicate their lives to bringing souls to our Precious Lord Jesus.

Thankfully you chose this vocation father Chris, I learned so much from you about Faith teaching deeply ❤️😇

Fr.Chris, with your burning zeal in bringing the words of God and planting it into our lives help us to seek Him, strengthens our faith and makes it fully alive. Like the three Wise men, who encountered and experienced the presence of Jesus, passed another way back, an enlightened soul after knowing Him, would surely not go back to the old self. Thank you, Fr. Chris for being our good preacher and teacher.

What great teaching Fr. Chris, I learned a lot & sent to my 4 protestant sisters in hopes they will listen & learn something! I pray Jesus will remove blocks from people closed minded to the truths of our faith! Holy Spirit enlighten all their minds to allow these truths to reach their hearts in Jesus name!! Mother Mary wrap your mantle around all Your children who have strayed from the truth of Your Son Jesus!!

Thank you father Chris. Happy feast of the Epiphany and a Holy Christmas to all our Orthadox Christian family worldwide ✨️ a befitting day to celebrate the revelation of God made man and the Kingship of Jesus and His birth as King of Kings and Lord and Saviour of all 🙏 "Lord please show us your way, lead us on your way, that we may also help lead others to you with the help of your Holy Spirit Your light and Your love " 🙌 Amen Thank you Lord for gifting us with the evangelists Saints Matthew, Mark, Luke and John who together have from their sources whoestically complimented the promise of your birth, death and Resurrection as Jesus our Reedemer. Amen ❤

My attempt to explain my epiphany yesterday 1/7/2022 After watching the Purgatory movie, I was moved to pray more for the Holy souls and I wrote a slightly different version of the prayer below about a month ago and I was trying to pray it every day. It never felt right or complete until yesterday on 1/7/22. I was in church during adoration and after several minutes of prayer I closed my eyes and cleared my thoughts to listen and became aware that my heart was beating louder. I started to be more aware of my breathing rhythm too and this prayer came to mind. I opened my eyes and saw the crucifix on the altar and completed the part in the prayer about uniting the prayer to the sacrifice of Christ on the cross and the prayer now feels complete. Imagine how many partial indulgences I can obtain for the Holy souls if I keep this going every day. Thousands!!! I hope some more people can do this. Lord Jesus Christ through the Immaculate Heart of Your Most Holy Mother Mary I am thankful and grateful for all You have given me. All that I am and have is Yours. I ask to unite every breath I take and every beat of my heart with Your sacrifice on the cross as an indulgence for the holy souls in purgatory that are most in need of Thy mercy. Amen 🙏 20 + C + M + B + 22 Christus Mansionem Benedicat

Thank you Fr Chris Talks #80 we are so blessed to have you as our Spiritual Lector every Saturday. We learned a lot from your teachings for free. Praying for you, your Parents Pam all the MIC and Marian Helpers. Thank you Br Mark for assisting Fr Chris. God bless everyone ❤️🙏

Thanks Fr Chris. Thanks for the 80th spiritually nourishing talk. May God bless you. 😊

Thank you and God bless you Fr. I learn so much from the weekly talks. I am amazed of how much about my own religion that I don't know. I was born and raised in a very strict Catholic family so it amazes me that there is so much I didn't learn. My granddaughter is making her Confirmation this year, and I am her sponsor. Your talks have helped me to give her better understanding about her faith. I remember growing up a lot of times when we didn't understand something, the answer we received was always"we know because we have faith". I think about when I taught CCD and the little ones were learning their prayers, I wanted them to understand what they were saying and what the prayer meant. I was told my the Director, the kids just need to memorize the prayers. I think this is why sometimes we didn't learn how to properly defend our beliefs. I don't want my grandchildren to just regurgitate what they hear, I want them to understand their faith. I feel like your talks can be a benefit to all Catholics. Our teenagers should hear them. Sorry this is so long. I just want to say thank you again for bringing me closer to God.

Hi Father Chris, thank you so much for all that you do. I know you say you don’t sleep much in preparation for your teachings. I love the way you explain the faith and I am eternally grateful. God bless you! And if you’re a Michigan fan, congrats on the Rose Bowl/national championship 🏈

Thank you Fr Chris 🙏🏼 You are a true teacher and great lecturer of our faith. You break it down so beautifully ❤ we can’t help but listen and try to understand. Bless you because you are a Blessing to all of us.

#80!!!!!!!!! SO WONDERFUL TO SEE FATHER!!!! THANK YOU 🙏🏻!!!!!!!!! 🍊California 💔🇺🇸🕊

Most precious blood of Jesus Christ save us and the whole world! Amen

im a filipino also and i run to Fr Cris for vatholic information. thanks is not enough indeed. God bless you!

Thank you Father Chris, for bringing us an explanation of our faith. It allows us to grow closer to God.

My dad always followed the tree doesn’t come down till Feast of 3 Kings And always used blessed chalk to write above door frame - a very Bohemian ( Czech) tradition !

JMJ Father Alar, Congratulations on Episode 80. God is working mightily using you as his instrument. May he continue to bless you. Prayers for you and your family. God bless all who read these words "Jesus, I trust in You"

Fr. Chris, Marian Helpers are fabulous, and this video! I don’t know what I would do without you priests, and this video reminded me that I’m older, but Jesus is far from done with me. Learning & living the life Jesus wants us to live is something my husband so deeply learned in 1981 when we made a Cursillo at Camp Saint John in St. Augustine, FL, where we were taught to grow our faith from our minds and into our hearts! Living the“4th Day” to Bloom Where I Am Planted” has given immense desire to keep our eyes on the Jesus and feet on the narrow road. I love our Holy Catholic Church because it is from Jesus! 🙏♥️

Sorry Fr. Alar I missed your teaching this morning. But I’m watching it now. Thank you so much for sharing the meaning of Epiphany 🙏❤️. I’m learning so much from your teaching. 🙏🙏🙏

God bless National Shrine of the Divine Mercy🇲🇽❤

Just finished my evening Rosary, and Father I have to say, this is one of my favorite talks from you out of the 80! I’ve always had a soft spot and mystical love ❤️ for this Feast!!!!! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED the celebration of the story of The EPIPHANY OF OUR LORD CHRIST!!!!!!!! I LOVE THE PASSION you have here Father, it is palpable on this lecture! From beginning to the end! A quote that resonates with me, that you stated here- “I too, came to GOD through a road as. A pagan.” GOD BLESS AMERICA 🇺🇸🙏🏻🕊

Thank you Fr. Christ I went to the a beautiful latin mass on January 6 to celebrate it. Every year they celebrate on January 6 my house is blessed and got my holy water.

Thank you Fr. Chris for the mind-blowing explanation on Epiphany. I always listen to your videos to update myself and pass it on to the young and old. I thank God for the Gift of you to our Holy Catholic Church.

Thank you Fr. Chris for this beautiful ministry walking up through our faith.🙏❤️🕊📿💐

God bless you Fr.Chris I'm listening to this now 1:39 am from London England, I couldn't sleep was feeling very anxious a feeling of dread over me I don't know why, so I'm listening to your talk on my phone and I feel so calm now thanks be to God. 🙏✝️ I love listening to your talks you tell us so much thank you and God bless you and all at the national shrine of divine mercy 🙏✝️

What a Blessing to hear the Truth ‼️ Thank you Father Alar🙏🧎‍♀️🙏Many Blessings to you and all. Peace ☮️

A few months ago I stumbled across your explaining the faith series and went on a serious binge. I have watched some more than once and have also advocated to friends and family. Your recordings are life altering and EXACTLY what I have been searching for. There has got to be a way to teach these things in catechism for our youth. I KNOW, without a doubt, if the youth were taught the fullness of these truths, we would not be living in spiritual warfare. We are losing our kids because they are bored with the same stories of Noah’s ark and Jonah and the whale. They shut down and don’t see value in what they get. Especially when they hit the 5th grade to Confirmation. Perhaps a development of home school catechism with your recordings? When Vatican II came along, my father had me pulled from my religion class while attending a catholic grade school. I had to go Saturday mornings to a home with about 6 other kids to get my teaching. Your talks take the learning of our faith to the level I wished I had while raising my kids. Do you have every one of your talks on DVD? And yes Father! Go Blue!

Watching this on the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord 2023. Finished BIAY Dec 31 & started CIY 1/1/23. I’ve been binging your Explaining the Faith series. Thank you Fr. Alar for your faithful teaching. God bless you 🙏❤️ I pray for you regularly 🙏❤️

Thank you Fr. Alar, again, for such a profound teaching. I think all RCIA classes would absolutely benefit from Explaing the Faith series! I think all Catholics should hear these!

I can’t thank you enough for teaching us such wonderful things, Fr. Alar! You are truly acting like a good and loving father! I have never heard of these things and have always wondered why priests don’t share with their flock their wealth of knowledge! God bless you!!

Thank you, Father Chris. Been learning so much about our faith because of your talks. May God continue to bless your ministry and vocation. Praise be God!

Lord make us rich in prayer. .oh in glory of your epiphany

How beautiful to reveal the Father 🙏🕊️

Thank you Father for this Saturday talk about epiphany. Thank-you for enlightened and helping us in our faith. Learning so much through you and your teaching father.. God bless you and everyone..

Father Chris, I am eternally grateful for you. I have learned so much from you. Thank you, from my heart, for saying “yes” to your calling to the priesthood, many prayers for you and your family, from Oklahoma. 🙏🏻

Thank you Father Alar for all your hard work and reaching out to people to teach us the Faith. I learn a lot from you. Praise be to Jesus Christ. Amen.

Thank you for your enlightening, wonderful talks Father Alar. I enjoy them so very much! I wish the church also celebrated the Transfiguration of Our Lord. Even though it was just to His closest Apostles, Jesus was Transfigured in front of them. That was a true epiphany of His Divinity, and strengthened his apostles.

God bless F. Chris Alar

Beautiful new insights on truths I have known all my life. God bless you in your ministry.

I’m looking forward seeing you with my grand daughter in Ur coming conference in Colorado. Hoping its not going to be cancel due of pandemic. 😇

Thank you Fr. Chris! My family and I have been sick this weekend and my mind isn’t concentrating very well. Praise be to Jesus Christ, Our Lord! Praying for you and all the Marians and Marian Helpers ( your family too!) God bless everyone at the Shrine! ❤️🙏🏼✝️❤️

Loved this talk. It might be the first time that I have watched it live. The one part that I really liked is how you explained about how the star is mentioned also in the Old Testament and the significance of that. Just so you know Fr. Chris I 'm still praying for your parents especially your mom and I haven't forgot about your sister Pam.

Dear Fr. Chris, I'm finding all of your teachings so helpful in my spiritual growth. This #80 was especially important at this time. I have been meditating on the importance of accepting God's grace, Mary's Fiat and her receptivity to the Holy Spirit, Genesis and Lot's wife...all these through this Christmas Season. This lesson on the Epiphany spoke to me personally. Thank you!! May God Bless you and keep you.🙏💖

God bless Fr Christ pray for us

Thank you Fr.Chris for wonderful explanation on Epiphany and more!!. We truly appreciate your kindness and lovev of christ as you take us to seminary with you to learn more about God's teachings. God bless you and all Mariana priest and brothers 🙏 🙏

This video finally makes all the sense that I found confusing about the Epiphany . Thank you very much, Fr. Alar for sharing the story. God bless you abundantly. 🙏 😊❤

Rev Fr. Chris your teaching is profound and soul stirring. I am grateful to be your student in the faith. I pray that more and more are guided by the Holy Spirit to receive this grace and know the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Thank you Fr Chris. You are a contuous blessing to me in my life.

Glad to join you Father Chris for another wonderful talk always learning something new wishing you all that is wonderful for 2022 .

I was taught this when I was in Catholic School. I am 86 years old.

Thank you Father ji, for so beautifully explaining the faith which l lacked for 45years of my catholic life

Thank you Fr. Alar. God bless, protect and guide you always. 😇😇😇🥰🥰🥰😍😍😍

I always learn so much here. Thank you.

Thank you Father Chris. It was an eye opening episode. Please pray for me as I continue in my journey to deepen my faith through understanding

The Catholic Faith is so rich and is very important for us and the world to know it in a deep and profound way,especially in this day and age when the devil is using anything in our life to get us to apostatise and leave the Church.

Awesome Talk Father Chris I enjoy every one very informative! Thank You.

Thanks a lot Father Chris for renewing in our minds the Cathechism that we last did in preparation for our first Communion. A number of years back. Hope it remains in ouremorirs.

Dear Father Alar, I am hitting 50 years old and I have never known the deeper truths and beauty of God and our faith...until you came along. Explaining the Faith series has been a great catechesis for all our family. God has blessed you with a passionate heart which comes across when you speak. EWTN should show these to a wider audience. God bless you for your efforts. Love from Australia ❤❤❤

Thank you so much Fr. Chris. Thank you for teaching us about our faith. Thank you for becoming a priest and being so full of zeal for our faith.

💖🌹🌹🌹💖 Praying thru the DIVINE MERCY, the BLESSED VIRGIN MARY, SAINT JOSEPH and SAINT THERESE💖🌹🌹🌹💖 May GOD bless, heal, and protect us all always! 💖🌹🌹🌹💖 JESUS KING of MERCY we trust in YOU! 💖🌹🌹🌹💖
