      I agree and and I pray that you will know forgiveness also that when some will commit terrible acts of evil in any religion and church that the pure in heart and soul will pray for God’s grace and forgiveness for them but that they will come to know the negative consequences for those actions so that they may not hurt themselves and others and that they can really realize what they have done and have the chance to turn back to Christ and know how much God truly loves all of us. I pray for all that we do not harbor resentment for those who may be deceived and misguided but rather carry compassion and forgiveness for ourselves and others who are imperfect because their was only one perfect person who ever walked this earth and that is our Lord and savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Do you know what are they going to do with this blood?

      And yes, apparent the lab proved the blood to be alive and to have only the X chromosome...Which means it might be the Blood of our Lord.
      The Eucharistic Miracles all proven to be the Blood of Jesus, and the tissue of the left ventricle of the heart, of the person in agony...
      Also only X chromosome...From the Mother...
      Which proves that our Lord did Not have a physical father...
      Our Lord is giving us all kinds of signs of His Presence with us.
      Apparently the blood from the Arc of Covenant is Not to be removed from there. It's guarded by the Angels....
      If this is Truly the Blood of our Lord, and i belive it is, God might still be holding the final attack of demons with His Precious Blood....
      The earth is darkening and the demons are becoming stronger, because of all horrible sins of Humanity, but God is Always above all. He is Always in control and He is giving us a bit more time....

      1 Corinthians 32-34 read to your friend. Not the bible verse but my opinion A person cannot have two masters. If the person cannot contain his/her lust then get married. For a father is also a teacher and a disciple but he cannot make his family his second priority for it is his reaponsibility before his God. If the family comes first then the flock loses its shepherd. The shepherd prioritize the flock.

      I was engaged to a Lutheran who a few months before he proposed, enrolled in Lutheran seminary for a semester. At first, I thought maybe God was going to lead him home to the Church, but instead he talked about becoming a part time pastor or deacon.
      In his words, “I know they won’t let me be a full time pastor cause you’re obviously gonna stay Catholic.” It was a gut punch to me that despite knowing my views on what being part of the clergy meant and discussions how I would not want my family’s life to be put on display to a Lutheran congregation, he still felt that calling. He always said “You won’t be on display,” but it’s obvious us and our kids would, especially since I was not gonna convert and wanted to raise them Catholic.
      It wasn’t that sole reason that I broke up with him, but it helped clear up the doubts I had about marrying him. It may work in the Eastern Church and Deacon families handle it pretty well, but I knew in my heart I would dislike sharing my spouse with anyone, including other members, while my kids grew up.

    God bless you Fr Chris. I'm Magdalene from Malaysia. I learn so much from listening to your teachings on our catholic faith. This teaching on Saint Mary Magdalene, my Patron Saint gives me encouragement and hope. Every sinner has a future . Every saint has a past. Thank you Fr Chris Alar 🙏

    Thank you , Father. I fell away from the faith in my teenage years. Love watching your videos to help me have a better understanding of our beautiful faith. I was confirmed this year taking Mary Magdalene as my saint. Being a recovering addict of meth and the needle, having been possessed and brought back to the faith, I love Jesus so much and relate to her because of my afflictions. Jesus delivered me Dec 13 2019. I haven’t craved doing drugs since that day. HE left the 99 for me, a sinner. My faith continues to deepen and I know this world has a chance because if I could be saved, so can ANYONE 💜💜💜 God bless you!
    Jesus, I trust in you!!!!

    Loved this talk Fr Chris❣️I was aware of the controversy, yet something made me decide not to read the book nor see the movie. But it just makes me love St Mary Magdalene even more because if Our Lord forgave her sins, I truly believe there’s hope for all sinners, including me. And in return, I pray that His mercy and forgiveness will help deepen my love for Him ❤️

      @jhamberg8968 Před měsícem

      In July of 2021, the Catholic Church decreed that the two Mary's are different persons; they're not the same. We now celebrate the feast day of Mary of Bethany, sister to Martha and Lazarus, as July 29th. Mary Magdalene's feast day is July 22nd.
      This video came out about the same time as that decree, perhaps before it. Fr. Chris Alar may not have known about the decree when he did this video.

    Another amazing and uplifting teaching from Fr Chris. I so enjoyed learning about the connection/interpretation of the 2 Mary's. It always brings great joy and gratitude to God for allowing the truth to be spoken to us. Thank you Fr Chris and all priests that have accepted the calling to share the joy of the faith despite all of the challenges. At a time when there is so much deception and willful manipulation of the people, your ministry is like breathing clean air and receiving a fresh baptism with each teaching. God bless you, Fr Chris and all that assist you in presenting such inspiring education to us.

    I praise the Holy Spirit for giving you the fervor and motivation to prepare and give these talks, Fr. Chris. I as a Catholic have binged on many Protestant/non-denominational sermons. I enjoyed and learn from them but upon listening to your talks I realize those talks rely and teachings like creationism, and existence of God and theism vs atheism, which are all good because they edify God but after a while they become tired because I relied on them as infotainment rather than to change my heart. At the end it's not about believing God, it's about trusting God. Listening to your talks have helped me grow deeper in love with our apostolic church and push me to be holy and aspire to be a saint. I am blessed to know I have an army to fight with me i.e. Mother Mary and the saints, and the devotions especially Divine Mercy that is Jesus Himself. I pray for the conversion of my family who left the Catholic church to a non denominational church years ago. I pray they no longer miss the immense grace of the Catholic church. Mother Mary if you could speak to them in dreams, I implore your help.

    Thank you Father. May GOD bless you and your teachings most abundantly. Since I was a small child, I have loved Mary Magdalene. Don’t really know why and I only knew the story of the sinful woman and the anointing. I didn’t care then nor do I now. I think she’s wonderful. I truly think your theory of the “consecrated hands” is logically and mystically on the money!

    Absolutely wonderful sermon. I sent it to my Pastor Fr. Thomas Murphy...please pray for him, he is one of those who has NOT talked about the morality of today's society. During the entire election season, nothing about Abortion, nothing about anything the least bit controversial. I live in Maine, and most of the Catholics in my parish voted pro-abortion. I know 3 or 4 people in our 40 person choir that vote against abortion candidates. Please pray for Fr. Murphy!
