As a lapsed Catholic I returned to the church in October 2019. In the December I made my first confession in thirty years. I made a point of doing the first five Saturday's I did four before we was locked down. When I came out of lockdown I started the first five again, then we got locked down again. I have started it again. I won't give up

When i was growing up, mom offered the Rosary for world peace, the conversion of sinners, in reparation for the sins commited against God, for the Holy Souls in Purgatory, and help for each of us in the way we need it most.

Grandma was a devout Catholic. For a week before she died, she dreamed that Jesus was walking on the lake toward her.

Fatima is a really nice place and we can feel the peace when we go there. God bless the world.

Thank you so much for this, and your Mass explanation. I was baptized Catholic as a baby and I have not done my first communion as a little girl. I remember telling my mother I did not like catechism and it was boring to me and for some reason my mom stopped taking us to church after my sister completed her 1st communion. My cousin recently made me realize to look into Catholicism, I had a lot of misinformation about Catholicism so something nudged me me start finding channels like yours and I am so grateful. Thank you for helping me understand and come back to the Catholic Church. I currently am looking for a perish that I may start my path of faith. Thank you for helping me understand the beauty of the Catholic religion. ✝️♥️✨🙏📿

I have pledged my prayers of the Rosary each day to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for her intentions. I think it’s important but also the Devine Mercy Chaplet to pray for those who most need the Mercy of God. People today don’t know God, how tender His Merciful Heart is. How much He loves us! We must return to Him with Love & Prayers.

Father it is so good to know more and more about Divine Mercy and Mother Mary. Father you are one of the most precious gifts i have received. I have also experienced Mother Mary's miracle in 26th December, 2019. My son only 8.10years had to take MRI for around 45minutes. As it is very noisy and he had to be still. I stood near him and pray to Mother Mary to request Jesus to send gurdian angel to make my son sleep. I said the Rosary at the top of my voice near my son. As soon as in the MRI my son slept soundly and afer just about 23 minutes i thought that he had epilepsy again which is why he had to take MRI. But he slept so soundly he was push back and continue the process. After it was done, we wake him up and the first thing my son said was how nice it was to sleep in the MRI. Me a sinner but still Mother Mary and the Lord Jesus granted my prayers🙏

Thank you Father Alar! Your videos helped me to get closer to God, I feel hopeful that the world will change for the better, and like our Mother Mary said, pray pray pray. Good bless you!

Love you Fr Chris and all Marians ! God bless the wonderful messages you send out into the world. May God in His Divine Mercy give peace to the world.

Thank you father for clarifying Mary’s apparition in Fatima & how it pertains to Ukraine & Russia today. We as Catholics have always questioned what is the third secret, & specifically what important teachings that God wants us to know in order to conduct ourselves to bring us closer to him. It’s our duty to pray, fast, go to confession & spend fifteen minutes before Jesus & Mary recalling the mysteries of the rosary, attend mass. Pray for Ukraine & Russia but also for those lukewarm faithpeople who no longer hold God important!

[cararemal]

Thank You Father Alar. Our Lady and the events of Fatima helped pull my heartstrings back to Christ and the church. Ave Maria!
