Why Did Jesus Die on the Cross? It May Not Be Why You Think - Ask a Marian

Join Fr. Chris Alar as he explains why Jesus died on the Cross and why the main reason is one we do not often think about on this episode of Ask a Marian.

Thank you Fr. Alar for all your talks... I think I have watched and share your videos multiple times and every time I get something new out of it. Iin 2023 Devine Mercy weekend my boyfriend joined me to experience this weekend. Was battling Cancer and he just passed away o about a month and a half ago on the 9th of April.. just a few days after Devine Mercy weekend. We were planning to go again to Massachusetts to the Shrine and we didn't get the opportunity. We were looking forward. However just 15 min before he passed My son and I were praying over him the Chaplet of Devine Mercy.. she passed away shortly after at 2:44 am .. just 15 min shy of the 3am hour of our Lord... I have to say I have peace and pray his soul is in Heaven But I am finding it very difficult dealing with his Loss . HE was a returning Catholic and did have his final Oils administered from our Local Priest and he had communion etc the last 2 weeks before he passed and He had a neighbor bring us Communion for Easter Sunday... He was very happy.. I owe his Salvation to The Devine Mercy. A

We are all at the foot of the cross .. and Jesus saw us .. when he looked down and said forgive them father .. for they known it what they do ... he was looking at all of us ... it’s so beautiful ... next time your at Mass close your eyes and hear Jesus asking the Father to forgive YOU .. it’s enough to make you weep

Jesus thank you for dying on the cross for me🙏

[zimrah]

Amen! Thank you, Yeshua, for this beautiful gift.

Exactly what Ven. Fulton J. Sheen preached as well! Thank you, Father Chris and all the priests in the world who faithfully educate us all, Catholics! God bless you! Priests are all always included in my prayers!

Thank you so much for your explanation of the Holy Mass.  No one ever explained it in the manner that you did - thank you, Father.  From Australia.

Jesus teach us how to crucify our own flesh, we knew very well, that we are very weak, strictly no to flesh pleasure, we have to focus for our souls, Thankyou so much Fr Chris Alar!God bless!❤️🙏

[day]

Kindly consider praying an additional holy Rosary to your current daily one, for the loving intentions of our Blessed Mother - she will be ever so grateful: as  well as fasting to your capacity.  We need her maternal help now, more than ever.  God bless you.

How do we not all burst into tears like emotional lunatics at every Mass with this knowledge?! It’s almost too much for my heart.
That divine love, HIS LOVE & THIRST for our souls is just unfathomable to the human mind. No secular words could begin to describe, or express-not only the depth of the Lord’s love for us-but the knowledge of how easy it is to choose to love Jesus!
To see & know Jesus in EVERY SINGLE PERSON, simultaneously recognising it is our duty, privilege & reason for living, to reflect back His love for each person, through our own thoughts, prayers & ACTIONS!
COURAGE!
Let us enCOURAGE someone who hasn’t been to Mass for a long time (or never) to come experience with us the depth of His love & mercy for all mankind, while we still can.
Our time is so short on this earth. As Mother Angelica professed, “We are all called fo be great SAINTS, don’t miss the opportunity!”
The opportunity is RIGHT NOW! This very moment! EVERY SINGLE MOMENT IS HEAVEN WHEN YOU LIVE THROUGH HIM, WITH HIM, AND IN HIM!!!
JESUS
JESUS
JESUS
Thank you, Abba Father, God
Save us! Save us!
🙏❤️🇺🇸✝️🕊🌹🕯🌏❤️🙏
Mary please pray for us
Saint Joseph please pray for us (especially for our families)
Saint Faustina please pray for us
Saint Mother Teresa please pray for us
Saint Maximilian Kolbe please pray for us
Saint Blaise please pray for us
My Nana, Saint Marjia, please pray for us
Let us pick up our crosses every single morning, hold them high, and proclaim from the house tops JESUS IS LORD & LIFE IS CHRIST!
As Father Alar said on Epiphany Wednesday, “FREEDOM is the ABILITY to do what you (we) OUGHT TO DO!”
Our Catholic Faith is the GREATEST TREASURED GIFT we have been given. Let us never forsake it, nor take it for granted.
Thank you, Jesus. Thank you our Mama Mary. Thank you Saint Joseph.
We are truly blessed.
Amen ✝️

Amen Father! We should always meditate on His passion; Stations of the Cross devotion is not limited to Lent, can and should be prayed all throughout the year. I absolutely LOVE meditating on St. Faustina's Way of the Cross. She really helps bring me on the walk with Christ.

[marianemeth]

Thank you Fr. Alar. Always a pleasure to here your teachings.

[margaretrosado]

Your spiritual guidance has helped me so much. ... My relationship with God (our creator) has deepened immensely since I began this journey with the teachings from you and all the Marian priests. Everyday is a new beginning for me to learn to walk with God at my side.
