    I have a Muslim friend. He’s actually a taxi driver and very kind to me. From time to time he would not let me pay for my trip. Since I am handicapped, I always asked him to drive me to the church , and back to my home. Last month, I said goodbye to him and gave him my rosary. He was very happy with my gift to him. We often spoke of God, of Jesus and Mary. When you spoke that there is hope, I believe it. Even when at this time he is still a Muslim . He sent his children to Catholic school and respected our holy days. I hope too that one day our Muslim brothers will find Jesus as their Saviour through Mary whom they recognized .

    It was actually my exposure to Islam that lead me back to the Church. I was deployed to Afghanistan and stationed for a year in Qatar. First thing that really stood was their frequency prayer and faith. Then in Qatar we had a speaker explain Ramadan to us, and with utter sorrow in his voice he said, “Catholics used to do the same thing (fasting, good deeds, focusing more on God and less on work) for Lent.” Hearing him say that really woke me up.

    A friend of mine, very religious, was at a coffee shop and someone came running in yelling a boy got hit by a car and the car took off. She was the only one that came out to see how she could help. The boy was laying there saying he couldn’t feel his legs so she took a crucifix (blessed from Teopoli) and started to pray over the boy laying the crucifix on the boys legs. Ambulance finally came and he was admitted to the hospital. She left her number to stay in touch. Long story short the boy called her the next day saying he was discharged from the hospital able to feel his legs and walk with just a cast on his arm! (Praise be Jesus!)The boy’s father came on the phone to thank her and said that they are Muslim but they know Mary and love her! ❤

    Very true. Here in Malaysia which is a Muslim country, our Muslim brothers & sisters are mostly very peaceful, gentle and kind-hearted people. And the Malays, Chinese & Indians all live harmoniously together, no matter what the political situation may be. And there are often religious dialogues between the Christians, Muslims, Hindus, etc. We pray that this country will stay this peaceful forever! God bless you abundantly, Fr. Chris! Can't wait to watch all your speeches from this channel. A proud Catholic here. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🇲🇾

    I am learning a lot of history from this Catholic Priest. I never learned this stuff in college or public school. WOW

    Father, the feast is Purim, not Parim. It’s pronounced poor-im. It’s a celebration of the deliverance of the Jewish people as told in the book of Esther.

    Father Chris i have never been so interested in Catholicism until i come by your teachings. Every seconds of your teachings today is so interesting. Mary in the Quaran is so awesome. Apparitions in Egypt and many more are new to me. I am looking forward to Wednesday EWTN programs. God bless you and your loved ones Father.

    I had a very dear friend who was confined to her bed. Shortly before her death, she told me she was praying for Kim Jung On. And she said, "Who is praying for him?" She taught me a life lesson that day. Ever since she passed I have prayed for him and every despot creating suffering. If they were once touched by Mary's love they would be healed .

    As a born catholic and someone who studied Islam and even considered converting, this is a great sermon.

    I have been searching for the truth. I have been studying different denominations. I have gone to different Bible studies. I have prayed for guidance. I found many programs on religion on UA-cam. I was raised a Roman Catholic and found many protestants disregard many of the principles and beliefs of Catholicism. I was offended by this mockery and felt like an outsider. Then I found the Marian Helpers and Father Chris Alar. After a only one episode, I knew I had found my Church and all my Parochial teachings flooded back into me.I now have joined as a Marian Helper. Thank you all for being there when I needed you most. Sincerely, Mark E. A. Ziemba.

    I had a colleague from Pakistan who tried several times telling me that Christianity is wrong. He started reading a book on Islam and Christianity to argue with me. I am learning a lot from this lecture. Thank you Fr Chris for all the good stuff you put out

    What an enriching lecture. And the rememberance of Oct. 7 as the battle of Lepanto astounded me considering the recent attack of Hamas on Isreal on October 7th. Our Lady of victory, pray for us. May God have mercy on all those innocent lives tortured, kidnapped and murdered by this war. 🙏 😢
