Honestly, father Chris I sincerely thank God for your life. You don't know how happy I am to listen to your teachings. My prayer for you is that the Lord who has called you will continue to be with you.❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am 79 yrs old and am a recent Catholic. For the last four years I have been praying the Rosary and Divine Mercy daily without really knowing the magnitude of what I was doing. Listening to this has been so very humbling and I thank God. I will try to pray for priests and thank God for them daily 💕❤️

I feel so bad for innocent priests, we have to pray for them all the time

[tesschavit]

Let us pray for all good and faithful priests who dedicate themselves to their people with generosity and unknown sacrifices 🙏🏻❤️

I have learned more about being a Catholic from watching your videos than I remember ever learning in catechism or RCIA when I came back into the church when I was older and didn’t even know Confirmation was even a sacrament
I cannot be the only one who benefits from your videos Fr Alar And you have such a gift...not just your understanding and knowledge of the Catholic faith and what it means to be Catholic but your ability to convey your knowledge to the rest of us...You have truly been blessed abundantly by the Holy Ghost and I’ll go one step further and say that I believe you are the answer Our Lord God has given to us in answering so many of our prayers...I’ve pray for wisdom and understanding all my life and I know many of my brothers and sisters must have prayed those same prayers...Thank You And Thank You Jesus for answering those

Thank you Father for this great wisdom.Let us consecrate all the priests to Our Immaculate Mother Mary for her protection and l pray her mantle of protection and St Joseph's cloak cover all the priests in the body of Christ in holiness all the days of their lives.Amen

Hi Father Chris it's so good to be a Marion. I would like to say that God is helping me and my Family. I thank God I awake everyday because there's so much Evil out there. He has saved me so many times. Amen I'm so Grateful.

Thank you, Fr Chris, again, for helping us understand about our Catholic Faith. Since I heard about your talk on priesthood the first time I watched/listened to this video series, I always go and “kiss” the priest’s hand (Filipino way is- we reach out and take hold of the hand of the priest (usually his right hand) and touch our forehead onto the back of the priest’s hand with a slight bow of our head). This is our way of giving him respect, a request for priestly blessing and thanksgiving for his service as a priest. Right now, I’d like to offer all our priests my “hand kiss.” Just know, that there are many of us who truly care and pray for you. May God bless you with everything that you need to continue with your blessed ministry🙏❤️🙏

P.S. Again, I am crying as I get emotional about this. True, without you, our blessed priests, we won’t be able to receive Jesus sacramentally. Without you, the consecration of the bread and wine will not happen. Without you, there is no Holy Eucharist, the food for our soul! Long live our Catholic priests🙏🙏🙏
