Thank you Fr. Chris Alar for the great message. I am one of the poorest of the poor children in the Philippines whom Fr. Al Schwartz sheltered, gave food, clothing, best education and everything. After highschool I went to college for 4yrs BS Nursing...graduated and passed my NCLEX. I have no idea to come here in USA to practice my profession because it's expensive and hard to get a job here in USA but I believe God helped and led me here, now I am serving elderly people with illnesses, dying people in the nursing home. I am Fr. Aloysius Schwartz's fruit of all his sacrifices and love for Mama Mary and God. Thank you Fr. Al may you continue to pray for us 🙏

Thank you Fr Chris for this beautiful reflection. Our trip to Lourdes was cancelled due to strike and so we ended up in Brussel. As my elderly mom was disappointed not being able to go to Lourdes, we made a decision to visit the Banneux Shrine. And we found your video on Banneux while we are on our way to Banneux today! 🙏

My gf smelled roses near a picture of the Mother of Perpetual Help in my parents house. I was praying St. Teresa the Little Flower novena at that time for her conversation. She was a staunch Buddhist and wound even talk about religion.... she joined RCIA by herself and we didn't need a mixed marriage. We are now in our 50s. Praise be to God.

Fr. Crhis, similar to you, I had an illumination of conscience, I was in Texas in the Winter, and I could not remember how t pray, couldn't recall any of the basic prayers past these words Hail Mary or Our Father I was sure it meant I was doomed. I prayed and asked Mary to help me "If it was not too late for me." I took a walk while praying this and sobbing, and I turned the corner and there was a Fully Bloomed Rose on top of a bush all by itself where it should not be this time of year - I realized instantly it was a sign and when I realized it then suddenly I recalled the Prayers and the rosary and began my conversion. I have never seen her but she has helped me so many times and Padre Pio too. I have smelled roses a few times since. She is so generous.

Thank you for this very interesting story of Our Lady of Banneux in Belgium, Fr. Chris. Living in Belgium, I often heard of this place when summer is approaching due to organised pilgrimages. A religious Sister from St. Philip Neri’s congregation invited me and a friend of mine, Evangeline to join with them in this pilgrimage. We had processions to the grotto and the holy well, participated in the individual blessings for the sick, actively participating in the Eucharistic celebration and the most laborious of all was to serve the sick people and preparing the refectory for every meal. It was really a big challenge and an opportunity to be of service to God and humanity. Now at our advanced age, we are the ones sick but grateful and happy to recall the memories of visiting the place of Our Lady of Banneux, Our Lady of the Poor. Thank you, Blessed Mother Mary.

Amazing how the Marians have changed my life! I never came across Our Lady of Banneaux... but I came across Fr Aloysius a week ago, and prepared a post with the exact share by Fr Chris about the "two things when you pray..." Hair-raising. This is Our Lady's hands at work! Praise God!

Amen! I am one of the living miracles of Father Al Schwartz! So thankful that he was instrumental in changing my lives :)

Fr Al...he's my father. He shared to me and to us all his children of different races the blessings of our Blessed Mother the Virgin of the Poor. We are the living witnesses of that Blessed Grace of the Virgin of the Poor thru Fr Al.

Thank you Father Chris for this talk. I live in Belgium and it is nice to hear that an apparition in Belgium changed the world. But it is a calling for all of us to make the difference. Keep praying to help others and yourself to do the Will of God and so change the world. Thank you again. We are praying with you all!

Your reflection so touching Fr. Chris. Thank you for helping me to keep my faith and be an instrument of God's love.

Fr Chris Talking of Marian apparitions i had to tell you that Knock shrine in Ireland in the lasf 2 weeks are having more pilgrims than ever visiting and especially returning to confession. My friend from Dublin asked me today at mass, why in the last 2 weeks? I said i think that having 10,000 people at the divine mercy conference 2 weeks ago is no co incidence Right ? Amazing !

I could listen to Fr.Dude for a lifetime. 🙏🏼✝️🙏🏼

Thank you Fr Chris for another excellent Talk. We never heard about this apparition. We learned a lot from you. Sharing this to friends and relatives. Always praying for your good health and family. Thank you Br Mark for assisting Fr Chris. God bless you abundantly MIC and all the viewers.🙏❤️

Really enjoy your talks. I am a convert almost 51 yrs ago & love all the information we receive from you. Please keep uncovering these facts and bringing them to us.

Holy Rosary Marathon for an end the pandemic | Shrine of the Virgin of the Poor in Banneux |Belgium| May 11,2021

I went to sleep and my phone started playing this video suddenly, on its own after 20 seconds of silence.. I hadn’t even clicked on it and I had paused the previous video I had been watching, which was another Catholic video. Needless to say it was surprising. I’m not an old person so I do know how my phone works too. Interesting.

Great news Fr. Chris Alar that you always updated us about the Blessed Virgin Mary, especially this apparition of Our Lady of the poor.

I might be poor in materialistic things, but I am blessed with family

I see, we have here Boys' Town Orphanage here in Cagayan de Oro City, Phil. Thank u, Lord and Mama Mary of Banneux.

THANK YOU Fr. Chris!!! AWESOME talk as always!!!✝🙏❤

Thank you Fr. Chris for explaining who is Our Lady of Banneux. I've been there in Belgium for a private pilgrimage with friends and went there in Banneux, Also Beauraing, and thank God We enjoyed the Pilgrimage in Belgium.

I got so excited when I heard you bring up Fr. Aloysius Shwartz! What a fantastic man. The Catholic Talk Show did an episode on him with one of his biographers, and the comments on that episode are mindblowing and so heartwarming!

Thank you Fr Chriss, I must say that am one of the luckiest mum from Africa who managed to visit Bannuex when.I visited a family member in Belgium, To today I still feel the excitement that I got while there. I pray that if I get another chance of visiting Belgium I will go there again now knowing what it is. I pray 🙏

Thank you Fr.

Goodevening father Alar

Fr. Chris, I can listen to your teaching and talks for hours and hours, thank you so much for your guidance. May God bless all Marian fathers and Marian helpers for your efforts. I am so happy to have found your voice here in the west (CA)

Every day l feel so thankful to you Fr. Chris because you have taught me so much about our beautiful faith. I am now not shy to spread the word too, and ask the Holy Spirit always to direct me.

Hi Father, We had a huge snowstorm in your home state of Michigan too. ❄️❄️❄️ Spring is coming when all comes alive again. Thank you always for your wonderful teachings of Mary's apparitions. I love them!!

my mother died of ALS. God bless her

I love these videos. I need a better family

Was really good to hear about this Marian Shrine in Belgium ,thank you Fr Chris

Thank you, Father Chris, for teaching us about one of the least known but most powerful apparitions. You are amazing! Can’t believe you put that talk together on the fly. I hope God will grant you some much needed rest from all of your much appreciated hard work. May God bless and protect you always! Prayers for your mom and sister as well. 🙏

I've downloaded all your talks in youtube, father. I've been inspired by your beautiful homily. I listen to your talks everyday while walking, sitting and laying on bed. I've also downloaded Thomistic Institute 101' videos, it's all about a metaphysics of St. Thomas Aquinas explained by the dominican priests. I was actually a seminarian before, but now I'm married, maybe priesthood is not my true vocation. Even if I left the seminary but still God has been calling me as a lay person, in many ways, to serve Him, because He needs more people to preach his mercy throughout the world as the end time is very near.

I am so thankful to find your channel father interested to this story of our Lady of Banneux

God bless you Father Chris 🙏

Thank you Fr Chris for today’s talk Important for all of us to listen to the messages from Mama Mary Happy to hear that your mum is better will continue to pray for her Praise God God bless everyone

I am very blessed to be a member of the English speaking pilgrims that belonged to the "Our Lady of Banneux, Blessed Virgin of the Poor" from the U.K. since 2000 and we used to visit the Holy Shrine every year until the lockdown during the pandemic. Our group was lead by Maria Hare who dedicated her life organising the yearly Pilgrimage from the London to Banneux in Belgium. Every Holy Shrine of our Lady I have visited is special and unique in it's own way. Our Lady of Banneux is so special especially early in the morning to visit the spring to drink the Holy Water and wash your and feel the soothing healing love from the Lady. "Blessed Virgin of Poor, lead us to Jesus, source of grace".

Greetings from Belgium and thank you 🙏

Everyone. Please pray for my daughter Cecilia S who is developing anti Catholic feelings because of her modernist Catholic Girls High School. Pray that she passes this phase. She is 14 years old.

Hello father Chris thank you so much I really enjoy this speech you gave I too always use to smell roses. I loved the smell of roses.

The Blessed Virgin Mary always makes the unlikely choice of people to appear to. However, Our Blessed Lady knows that they all have a pure heart, courageous and are brave to endure all the sufferings given to them. They are the few chosen ones who allow themselves to be reborn. All are faithful suffering servants of God. "Our HOLY TRIUNE, We glorify, adore and praise YOU, honor and worship YOU, love and trust YOU with all our hearts." #themiraculoussun

Thanku Father.

Thank you so much Fr. Chris. May God Bless you Always.

Ave Maria

love Father AL as Filipino my mother country and our lady of manoa

I remember when I was little, my family came all together from the communist USSR, from Ukraine we emigrated as refugees through Poland, with nothing but our clothes and whatever we could pack in suitcases. We lived with relatives in Poland for a few yrs but we were also so poor, we picked mushrooms, berries and edible grass from the forest for food, before we arrived in the U.S. We also picked coal for the stove for heat and cooking.

please make a video about Our Mother of Perpetual Help Father Chris ❤

During our great 11-year Revival we had different processions we had the procession of Lights and also a Revival procession now they seem to play this same music during revivals a Revival music procession I saw it happen in the Philippines as well. Many many priests and I believe the bishop was leading the procession and many many Altar Boys. The priest would lead the procession down the left aisle of the church, across the front of the church in over to the right side of the church, then through the back and up the middle aisle to the altar, this was our music Revival procession also during the procession they were spreading the holy incense, it lasted a long time it was the beginning of our Revival procession!!

Thank you Fr. Alar

Thanks Fr. Chris of reminding me when I visited Belgium in 1984 , that I’m not aware that there was St. Bannauex similar to Fatima.. and I kept it to myself what’s God’s will for me, but I remember some voices also that I have to suffer. But I continued to pray 🙏 and asked more guidance during those years. My grand mother Joaquina was the one that named me Rosario, she was a prayerful women and some of her nephews was also a priest but they’re gone already. And I’m still remain faithful to my faith even the time I become separated. So much story to be part of my Christian faith to our lord Jesus Christ and to our Blessed Mother.

I just love you father Chris! JMJ
