Awesome talk father. I saw pope Benedict when he came to Birmingham. He was on the way to have dinner at the seminary and we realised what road he was taking. I literally ran to the road and nearly fell over the fence that was put up. Pope Benedict actually laughed at me. I waved like mad and he waved back. Such a beautiful smile. I felt so blessed
I agree. The media aren’t independent or impartial anymore. Now, they’re just puppets and their journalists are political activists posing as journalists. He was a wonderful man of God.
Thank you Fr. Alar for all the talks and preachings you've been doing about our Catholic Faith. You are truly a gem of the Church.. am very proud and fond of you. long live, father and all faithful catholics..
The Catholic Church isn’t Christ’s church. The church are saved people. The majority of Catholics aren’t saved. See, you’ll just scoff at this comment, but then you’ll be terrified and surprised when God judges you because you probably don’t know Him.
God has blessed us with vibrant and Priests on fire for the Lord . Humble and obedient, charitable and trustworthy. God bless Fr Kaz and Fr Chris- God’s dynamic duo ❤
Pope Emeritus Benedict is right about the Latin Mass!!! It is beautiful!!! Communion given the right way!!! With the priest facing Liturgical East. There is no humility in the world today!!! To much pride Fr. Chris!! People don't even understand the beautiful mystery in the living presence of Our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist!!!! We need to pray for these poor misguided souls, I was one of them. Now I bring the Divine Mercy and Our Lady to everyone I meet
Communion given the right way? To be given in all due respect and love. What is critical, is how it is received. We cannot judge the disposition of one's heart and soul by the exterior position, by mouth or hand, that they receive the Precious Body and Blood of Our Blessed Lord .
That was such a good talk on benedict XVl! You have corrected the common misrepresentations of him. He was such a man of faith and deserves the truth be known of him!
@@mariano2694 Why? Because children are, at this moment, being abused because people pretends it doesn't happen and instead celebrate the people responsible. It's disgraceful.... To not acknowledge this reality is to support it. It will literally lead to more children getting harmed.
every time i feel afraid or worried about a dire situation, i always try to remind myself that Jesus is in the boat with us. God bless Pope Benedict's soul and keep him.
God bless the Pope how interesting of him to not want Biden there at his funeral. I have more respect now knowing that.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏☘️🌹May God show them both Mercy
Thank you Fr. Alar, a good talk about Pope Benedict. I always love Pope Benedict, a staunch defender of Catholic teachings. He exactly has the same birthdate as my mother, but she passed away at age 92. Saw him, when I accompanied my then 12+ years old son during the World Youth Day 2006, Sydney, AUSTRALIA, where Pope Benedict was there to bless the youth. It was indeed such a blessing from this gentle, diminutive Pope. Then in 2007 global visitors papal audience, Vatican. Yes, he wore his red shoes at that time. He is now in God’s bosom. 🕊️🤍🙏🏼
Pope Benedict XVI knew all the things that are moving behind the curtain and don’t want to be seen since those satanic forces want to tear apart the Onñy and real Church of God the Catholic Church. This was beautiful, father. And so necessary to explain it and expose it. God bless you Sir.
Thank you Fr. Chris for this. My mom is now a fan of Pope Benedict and thank you Pope Benedict for standing up for the truth. May God have mercy on him and may his soul rest in peace.
What a wonderful talk on the legacy of Pope Benedict XVI! I did not know his love of Divine Mercy was so profound. He was very brave and completely unafraid to speak the truth - no wonder he got the nickname, “God‘s Rockweiler“. Fr. Chris, your interviews on Newsmax discussing Pope Benedict were so good! I really admire your ability to think on your feet as well as you do. You are proudly representing all the Marians so well as our Provincial Superior. Like Pope Benedict, may we all end our lives with the words, “Lord, I love you”.
I didnt know that he loved divine mercy either. I saw him when he came to Birmingham. I saw him on his way to the seminary for lunch. I ran to the road and almost fell over the fence. Pope Benedict laughed. I waved at him and he waved back and smiled. Such a beautiful smile
Thanks to today’s talk, and some other sources, we are learning so much more about the pontificate of Saint Benedict. From what Father Chris taught us today, he was an intellectually gifted, yet humble man, who loved Jesus and our Church. We shall continue to pray that questions about his resignation will one day be answered. When I saw him in Rome in 2010, he had plenty of energy to preside over the Holy Week and Easter events. I attended 4, but there were actually 5. (I was too tired to attend the Easter Sunday Mass in Saint Peter’s Square) I remember I marveled at his stamina at the time.
Thank you so much Fr Chris for these excellent talks on Pope Benedict XVI your doing an great job on your teachings because it is important to do the chaplet and the rosary before people go to church on Sundays as lessons during the gospel readings and preaching them and prompting the lectures as Our Lady of Hope and the Blessed Virgin Mary the Mother of God as chosen ones to do good and also the devotions to the First Fridays and First Saturdays as possible to do good and the liturgical year event and also the homily and confirmation and also the season of the Christmas traditions and also the relationships also the mortal sin and original sin also the priests have the free will and also the Precepts of the Church and domestic church helps with facts and have manners to people and the Advent and Pentecost and Lent also Epiphany received every season of the liturgy and doing much better as the charity. Thank you Brother Mark for assisting Fr Chris as always. Praying for you, your family and the Marian Helpers especially Rosalie and Dad and Mom and Pam also Sandy and your nephews as always. God bless you, your family, MIC Fathers and Priests. Amen!
Another inspiring presentation Fr Chris. Our latest Pope Benedict XVI was a true Servant of Servants telling the world the Truth despite rejection from people of the worldly desires who hated to hear the spiritual ending of a life of earthy desires just to satisfy bodily sexual pleasures then committed abortion or murder of God's innocent babies. Thank you Fr Chris and God bless
Thank you for tying the two together. I attended both in the 80's and 90's. I look forward to when the Greek Orthodox join the Catholic Church, as well as the other various Christians.
Father Chris, at some point I’d love to hear more about Pope Leo XIII. Aside from his authoring of the St Michael prayer, and his overhearing the conversation between Jesus and Satan, I don’t know much about him. Perhaps you can think about featuring a papal series on Living Divine Mercy?
You are very inspirational ,You preach the truth, nothing but the truth. I am following from South East Asia…Philippines, Malaysia and Singapore. The three places that Gob bless me to travel to see my children in three different places. GOD bless you Fr. Alar. I thank God for you, who help me clarify the confusion in my faith sometimes that I felt for our Catholic Church of this era. 🙏
We are SO grateful that you never walked away from being Fr. Joseph - Fr. Chris Thank you so much for telling Pope Benedict’s story. He was a good and faithful man of God up against the evils of this world. A wise and and although a challenge to read his works it was definitely a worthy read. 📖 God bless you Fr. Chris 🙏❤
Rev Fr Chris Alar I know this is not the platform, but I plead with you to pray for my friend, Rosalie's brother, Owen who has an incurable spinal disease and is contemplating euthanasia. JESUS I TRUST IN YOU.
It was a wonderful and very informative talk. Pope Benedict XVI was my favourite for a couple of reasons. First, he was elected during a pivotal time in my faith journey. Second, I had the joy to be in Rome for Holy Week in 2010. Thank you for bringing to light all of the misconceptions about him. I never much bought into the criticism anyway. So many comments could be made, but for me this is the most important one: As far as the Extraordinary form of the Mass, it is beautiful and it is reverent. However, English is my first language, so when I attend Mass celebrated, by you Father Chris and certain other priests, including my own parish priests, there is more than enough reverence for me. I like to be a participant in the MASS and not a spectator. The TLM is beautiful, and I’ve been lucky enough to attend many, but I personally have to think too hard and use the booklet that’s written in both Latin and English so I end up translating all during the Mass and I find that distracts me from the worship. When I attend the Novus ordo celebrated by a holy priest, that’s all I need to realise I’m in the presence of a very holy priest. May God continue to bless you and our Church. I find it amazing that you could assemble this information in such a short term. Great job. Praying for you always.
@@DivineMercy_Official thank you Father. Latin is my fourth language. I must add that I do disagree strongly with Pope Francis’ position reversing Pope Benedict’s position on the TLM. Many Catholics do experience meaningful worship in Latin. I prefer the English Mass by Reverent priest. My parish always offers Mass ad orientum at every Mass Latin or English.
@@alwaysmisskaryn you have said it so well! You have seen me at the Shrine with tears streaming down my face when Fr Chris confects the Eucharist - he makes me feel like I am truly in the presence of the Lord. If given a holy and reverent priest, that’s all I need. Next time we are at the Shrine together, remind me to bring the Kleenex!
I have to confess that I have been falling in love more and more with The Traditional Latin Mass. I was born after the Vatican II Council. I am originally from Honduras living in the USA for over 24 years. The very first time I attended the Traditional Latin Mass was August of 2018. After that I started to desire more and more to attend the TLM it took me 2 years and seven months to finally be able to attend The Mass of The Ages which is the TLM. I started attending it in late March of 2021 by September 21 of 2022 the Mass of the Ages was restricted. Attending the Novus Ordo is not the same any more. I do attend the novus ordo when I can not attend the TLM. I am thankful for Pope Benedict XVI for bringing back the Latin Mass. Thank you so much Father Chris Alar. God bless you. Happy new year to you all. Viva Cristo Rey.
We have to fight to keep the true Mass. My friend, a convert went to both masses. Tridentine mass morning, New mass at 11am. He was confused. How can you have 2 truths? Hmmmmmm? He now attend the SSPX We are in a spiritual war.🙇♂️
God bless you Fr. Alar!!! Thank you for say yes to God. We all love the TRUTH and your fire!!! We are SO thankful for everything you do and for your love of the church, and your love for each one of us!!!!
Thank you for this important video, explaining the truth that everyone and the whole world. I thank God for Fr. Chris Alar, who is making such a difference in our lives
Fr. Chris, my grandfather was a first generation American/Italian. His mother wouldn't speak Italian because she said (in her broken English lol) "I'm an American now" . My grandfather wanted to know his country of origin's language...so he kept a notebook till the day he died learning new Italian words to regain what his mother rejected. Keep a notebook on words father. Sections of different languages/words so that you can learn over time. God bless your inability to understand foreign languages. Thank you for this lovely talk on my favorite pope. BTW, I love and cherish my dog eared, crumbling 50+ yr old Baltimore catechism!
Rev Fr. Chris thank you for deepening our faith through your regular teaching & labor of Love ❤️ for our Lord Jesus Christ. May 2023 be fruitful for you in the vineyard of the Lord.
What a great and interesting man! We were blessed to have him as our Pope for 8 years, and not forgetting a lifetime of contribution to the Church! Enjoy your time with Jesus, and the communion of Saints.. you have earned it!
Fr Chris, how grateful I am for this talk. I am about this talk. I have learned so much about Pope Bennidict XVI. Almost all I did not know. I can not thank you enough for the education about my own faith that I did not know. How I wish I could meet you, but chances are very slim that I will ever be that way, especially in these times. Thank you for giving me a channel to help me grow my faith more. May God shield you and all the wickedness that is trying to destroy us.
Thank you Father Chris! I,ve watched another UA-cam video of a mystic who said Jesus told her that Poe Benedict is already among the saints in heaven… may he then inspire the MIC fathers and other priests…
Thank you Fr. Chris for courageously teaching these things to Catholics and non-Catholics listeners. God bless the Catholic Church and Priests who are faithful to the true Catholic teachings
Jesus I trust in you yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever, Amen. When all the world is gone mad, I find DIVINE Mercy in my soul.. Saint Faustina pray for us.
Thank you Rev. Fr. Chris Alar As always your bold, well researched and courageous talks are always welcome and help me to put my hope in our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ. May almighty God keep your very lucid teaching flow. I am in Goa in India and have already joined as a Marian Helper. Please also Pray for me a poor sinner.
Wow, what an eye opening talk! Imagine a 10th grader talking like that to a Priest!? Respect for authority is just ….gone! “Don’t tell ME what I can do in my bedroom.” Knowledge is power for sure. Pope Benedict was a wise, truthful & very compassionate Pope. Why he left was between him & God. What the media “made up “ about him is between them & God. The TRUTH always comes out. 🙏🤗👍👼
This talk is amazing in so many levels. Thank you so much Fr Chris!! For those of us who desire to grow in truth of our Catholic faith, this is a very helpful talk. Keep it up- please!!!
What a prolific and misunderstood Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI ! Thank you very much Rev Fr Chris Alar for enlightening us. God bless you and your Congregation always Amen Bangalore India
Why did God connect me to such an important Pope. His dream for purity in the priest hood. Ultimately, the church and the world. I can't give up, but I can't go forward without assistance , please pray for me. MM
THANKS FOR THE SOUL'S. POPE BENEDICT XVI. HISTORY. PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST I TRUST YOU HAVE MERCY ON US. I'M SIMON UBAL KARACHI AMEN ALLELLUIA AMEN.
@Divine Mercy @51:16-52:37 thank you for pointing that out, Father Chris! I know a few people who refuse to go to Mass unless it’s a Pope Saint Pius X/pre-Vatican II Mass when they can easily attend Mass here in Los Angeles County, we are blessed with many Catholic Churches. I wondered if their refusal to attend Mass because they’ll only go to where a traditional Mass is said is a mortal sin so thank you for bringing that up that it is!
More and more Croatian cities doing public town square Holy Rossaries on first saturday to Out Lady. Beautifull, pray for us Fr. Chris and Marian Fathers :). Thank you for your talk, wounderfull as always! God bless
Thank you, Fr. For continuing to speak the truth. This was very informative, especially in the last few minutes. I wrote to you not long ago expressing my concerns about some of the things you addressed in that part of your talk, so obviously all of this has been weighing on your heart also. Please dont worry about replying to my email. This explains more than an email ever could. I also know you have two upcoming talks on closely related topics in the next few weeks, and I look forward to hearing more from you on all of these issues facing the Church. God bless you and your ministry!✝️❤️🙏
A priest I know [the Parish Priest of the neighbouring parish to where I attend] was privileged to be able to attend Benedict's funeral. It was unplanned, he had booked a week in Rome after Christmas, and happened to be there at the time, and he was able to attend the funeral. I consider Benedict one of the greatest Catholic Theologians of recent times.
Amen Fr. Pope Emeritus was a very wise man!!!! I am praying the Divine Mercy, St Gertrude's Chaplet Rosary and the Rosary for his soul in Purgatory, the washing machine of heaven. I pray everyday for the conversion of sinners and for the Poor Souls in Purgatory, as well as prayer in the morning for priests. We need more prayer, if people followed Our Lady, and the Divine Mercy of Jesus the wolves wouldn't get a grip on anyone!!! God Bless you and priests of MIC
Great talk Father Chris! Thank you for calling out the radical traditionalist movement. My husband and I began to watch such commentators on youtube when we were converting to the Catholic faith & we nearly fell for the schismatic ideas- it fits so well with protestant ideas like we had grown up with. So thankful to understand why those are wrong & so thankful to be in Our Lords Holy Catholic Church 🤍 Ive heard fellow many fellow converts say Pope Benedicts writings brought them into The Church I hope to read some of his books!
Thank You Fr. Chris!! God Bless you for your ministry!!! The information and array of topics you present to us are a breath of fresh air and food for the soul! Thank you for clarifying , and continuing to teach us. Every time I sit to listen to your talks , it is always an “aahh “ moment!!!!!!!!!! Never get tired of teaching us ❤ Thank You!
Praise God for faithful leaders who continue to sacrifice for our sake and the sake of all His Holy Church. "Lord, preserve your Faithful with Your mighty Hand. Let Your Kingdom come and Your Will be done. Help us to not count the cost but follow You in humble obedience. Have mercy on Your people who trust in You. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen"
1. He also canonized our very own St Pedro Calungsod from the Philippines (one of his last canonizations) 2. He elevated our (then) archbishop manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle 3. He is burried on the same chasuble he wore during the World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney Australia
Love is a free will choice (Love is of The Will.. a choice) .. never EVER a feeling …never EVER an emotion God respects free will choice therefore God is Love … man is not a robot nor a puppet
Thank you, Fr. Chris, for courageously correcting misconceptions about Pope Benedict. May the Lord bless & strengthen you in your ministry.
Another wonderful talk by our favorite priest! May God continue to bless you, Johanna. 🙏

Very remarkable commentary on the late Pope Emeritus at the same time an inspiring, spiritual and educative talk.
Awesome talk father. I saw pope Benedict when he came to Birmingham. He was on the way to have dinner at the seminary and we realised what road he was taking. I literally ran to the road and nearly fell over the fence that was put up. Pope Benedict actually laughed at me. I waved like mad and he waved back. Such a beautiful smile. I felt so blessed
The only way to describe that experience is awesome.
You are so blessed!
Pope Benedict is intrumental to my return to the Church. I cried when he resigned. I hate how the media protrayed him.
I agree. The media aren’t independent or impartial anymore. Now, they’re just puppets and their journalists are political activists posing as journalists. He was a wonderful man of God.
Thank you Fr. Chris for your support and kindness of the beautiful soul Pope Benedict 16 , he will be very missed 🙏

Thank you for this important video, explaining the truth that everyone and the whole world.
I thank God for Fr. Chris Alar, who is making such a difference in our lives
Thank you for joining us and God bless you
Fr. Chris, my grandfather was a first generation American/Italian. His mother wouldn't speak Italian because she said (in her broken English lol) "I'm an American now" . My grandfather wanted to know his country of origin's language...so he kept a notebook till the day he died learning new Italian words to regain what his mother rejected. Keep a notebook on words father. Sections of different languages/words so that you can learn over time. God bless your inability to understand foreign languages. Thank you for this lovely talk on my favorite pope. BTW, I love and cherish my dog eared, crumbling 50+ yr old Baltimore catechism!
Rev Fr. Chris thank you for deepening our faith through your regular teaching & labor of Love ❤️ for our Lord Jesus Christ. May 2023 be fruitful for you in the vineyard of the Lord.
Thank you Fr Chris for teaching us Benedict XVI.
All I can say is wow, wow, wow!! what a great talk. Bless you father for your courage in speaking the truth
Thank you for joining us and God bless you
Thank you and God bless you Fr Chris
May the soul of Pope Benedict XVI Rest In Peace.Amen
What a great and interesting man!
We were blessed to have him as our Pope for 8 years, and not forgetting a lifetime of contribution to the Church!
Enjoy your time with Jesus, and the communion of Saints.. you have earned it!
Father Chris Alar thank you for your insight and inspiration in details for Pope Benedict XVI, Orthodoxy and Controversy: What He Really Taught.
Fr Chris, how grateful I am for this talk. I am about this talk. I have learned so much about Pope Bennidict XVI. Almost all I did not know. I can not thank you enough for the education about my own faith that I did not know. How I wish I could meet you, but chances are very slim that I will ever be that way, especially in these times. Thank you for giving me a channel to help me grow my faith more. May God shield you and all the wickedness that is trying to destroy us.
God bless you Donna. Where are you located? If I'm ever in the area doing a talk we could meet.
@@DivineMercy_Official Can you reply to us Fr Chris!
@@mariesolomon206 yes, I replied quite often. Was there a particular question? God bless
Thank you Father Chris! I,ve watched another UA-cam video of a mystic who said Jesus told her that Poe Benedict is already among the saints in heaven… may he then inspire the MIC fathers and other priests…
Thank you Fr. Chris for courageously teaching these things to Catholics and non-Catholics listeners. God bless the Catholic Church and Priests who are faithful to the true Catholic teachings
Thanks Fr. Chris. May Pope Benedict's soul rest in eternal peace. Amen
Fr. Chris, would love to hear a talk about Marie Julie Jahenny! 🙏🏼
God bless and protect you and all our holy priests!
God bless you, Fr Chris !
Jesus I trust in you yesterday, today, tomorrow, forever, Amen.
When all the world is gone mad, I find DIVINE Mercy in my soul..

Thank you Rev. Fr. Chris Alar
As always your bold, well researched and courageous talks are always welcome and help me to put my hope in our Lord & Saviour Jesus Christ.
May almighty God keep your very lucid teaching flow.
I am in Goa in India and have already joined as a Marian Helper.
Please also Pray for me a poor sinner.
Thank you and God bless you and everybody in India
Wow, what an eye opening talk! Imagine a 10th grader talking like that to a Priest!? Respect for authority is just ….gone! “Don’t tell ME what I can do in my bedroom.” Knowledge is power for sure.
Pope Benedict was a wise, truthful & very compassionate Pope. Why he left was between him & God. What the media “made up “ about him is between them & God. The TRUTH always comes out. 🙏🤗👍👼
Totus Tuus God bless us all Don&Rusel Cebu Philippines
This talk is amazing in so many levels. Thank you so much Fr Chris!! For those of us who desire to grow in truth of our Catholic faith, this is a very helpful talk. Keep it up- please!!!
God bless and may he continue his blessings on you fr Chris!!!!!!!!!
What a prolific and misunderstood Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI ! Thank you very much Rev Fr Chris Alar for enlightening us. God bless you and your Congregation always Amen Bangalore India
Thank you for this enlightening talk and for all the facts about Pope Benedict.
Why did God connect me to such an important Pope. His dream for purity in the priest hood. Ultimately, the church and the world. I can't give up, but I can't go forward without assistance , please pray for me. MM
THANKS FOR THE SOUL'S. POPE BENEDICT XVI. HISTORY. PRAISE THE LORD JESUS CHRIST I TRUST YOU HAVE MERCY ON US. I'M SIMON UBAL KARACHI AMEN ALLELLUIA AMEN.
Is that good teaching..... IS THAT GOOD TEACHiNG!!!!! Amazing. Thanks Fr Chris
@Divine Mercy @51:16-52:37 thank you for pointing that out, Father Chris! I know a few people who refuse to go to Mass unless it’s a Pope Saint Pius X/pre-Vatican II Mass when they can easily attend Mass here in Los Angeles County, we are blessed with many Catholic Churches. I wondered if their refusal to attend Mass because they’ll only go to where a traditional Mass is said is a mortal sin so thank you for bringing that up that it is!
More and more Croatian cities doing public town square Holy Rossaries on first saturday to Out Lady. Beautifull, pray for us Fr. Chris and Marian Fathers :). Thank you for your talk, wounderfull as always! God bless
Amen 🙏
Praise be to God ❤
Thank you for joining us John and God bless you
Thank you, Fr. For continuing to speak the truth. This was very informative, especially in the last few minutes. I wrote to you not long ago expressing my concerns about some of the things you addressed in that part of your talk, so obviously all of this has been weighing on your heart also. Please dont worry about replying to my email. This explains more than an email ever could. I also know you have two upcoming talks on closely related topics in the next few weeks, and I look forward to hearing more from you on all of these issues facing the Church. God bless you and your ministry!✝️❤️🙏
love all you talks Fr. Cris, very enlightening
Yes, they are all enlightening and even life changing! God bless you, Elizabeth!
Thank you Fr. Chris. God bless.
Thank you Fr. Chris, again you've cleared up a lot of things for us lay people. May God bless you always.
A priest I know [the Parish Priest of the neighbouring parish to where I attend] was privileged to be able to attend Benedict's funeral. It was unplanned, he had booked a week in Rome after Christmas, and happened to be there at the time, and he was able to attend the funeral.
I consider Benedict one of the greatest Catholic Theologians of recent times.
Amen Fr. Pope Emeritus was a very wise man!!!! I am praying the Divine Mercy, St Gertrude's Chaplet Rosary and the Rosary for his soul in Purgatory, the washing machine of heaven. I pray everyday for the conversion of sinners and for the Poor Souls in Purgatory, as well as prayer in the morning for priests. We need more prayer, if people followed Our Lady, and the Divine Mercy of Jesus the wolves wouldn't get a grip on anyone!!! God Bless you and priests of MIC
Another inspirational talk, thank you father Chris God bless you
Great talk Father Chris! Thank you for calling out the radical traditionalist movement. My husband and I began to watch such commentators on youtube when we were converting to the Catholic faith & we nearly fell for the schismatic ideas- it fits so well with protestant ideas like we had grown up with. So thankful to understand why those are wrong & so thankful to be in Our Lords Holy Catholic Church 🤍 Ive heard fellow many fellow converts say Pope Benedicts writings brought them into The Church I hope to read some of his books!
Watching from Ozamiz City.. Thank you Fr. Chris
Thanks for watching!
Thank you father for those video on the faith..it really change my life...
Thank you for watching and God bless you
@@DivineMercy_Official and our blessed Virgin protect us always..🇸🇨 from Seychelles
Brilliant summary of Pope Benedict. Thank you.
Thank you Fr Chris🙏🙏🙏
Wonderful and insightful for me ...thank you From. CHRIS
I totally agree we can go to both forms of the Mass . Amen
The Catholic Church does not ordain women. And homosexual marriage is not marriage in the true Christian sense. Never has been; never will be.
Thank you and God bless you. We didn't say it was.
@@DivineMercy_Official Yes, i know you didn’t. I was just emphasize the fact. Thank You. Happy Epiphany.
One last thing, I want to say this was an excellent video, and I am trying to get it sent to all the people in my parish so they can listen to it. :-)
God Bless you Father Chris!
@@stevensonrf you can replay this talk - including the video - on the Divine Mercy UA-cam channel.
Thank Fr Chris, that was beautiful.
Thank You Fr. Chris!! God Bless you for your ministry!!! The information and array of topics you present to us are a breath of fresh air and food for the soul! Thank you for clarifying , and continuing to teach us. Every time I sit to listen to your talks , it is always an “aahh “ moment!!!!!!!!!! Never get tired of teaching us ❤ Thank You!
Praise God for faithful leaders who continue to sacrifice for our sake and the sake of all His Holy Church. "Lord, preserve your Faithful with Your mighty Hand. Let Your Kingdom come and Your Will be done. Help us to not count the cost but follow You in humble obedience. Have mercy on Your people who trust in You. In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen"
Grateful for ALL these videos!!
Me too
pray for all humanity
Thank you, Father God Almighty bless you 🙏🌹❤️🌹❤️🌹
Father, thank you for the "truth in charity. "
I left The Church because I didn't understand Christianity like I do now. Because Fr. Chris wasn't on EWTN when I was a kid.
The greatest power in the universe is Love; God is Love.
Thank you Fr. Chris.
1. He also canonized our very own St Pedro Calungsod from the Philippines (one of his last canonizations)
2. He elevated our (then) archbishop manila Luis Antonio Cardinal Tagle
3. He is burried on the same chasuble he wore during the World Youth Day 2008 in Sydney Australia
@13:50-13:55 Pope Benedict, my new favorite pope!😻
Brilliant masterclass. Awesome. Very well spoken.
God is proud😊of you
Pray much for our Church.Jesus will bring us through.
Amen 🙏
Beautiful narration 👌🫢
My mother always said that you can go to Church anywhere in the world and participate in the Latin mass.
Pope Benedict was right. I tried to have faith without the church. it's not possible. You need that family around you.
Thank you Father awesome truth. 📿📿📿🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Love is a free will choice (Love is of The Will.. a choice) .. never EVER a feeling …never EVER an emotion
God respects free will choice therefore God is Love … man is not a robot nor a puppet
Very enlightening talk.
