    Although a Cradle Catholic , I wasn't aware how important the Feast of the Annunciation is. Thanks Fr. Alar for putting this most important holiday to our spiritual 🙏 practice.
  • I'm not a cradle Catholic and I've learned more from the Marian Father's especially Father Chris that I had no clue..I still have very little clue but I'm learning. Thank you Father Chris.

    I love it when Priests explain the faith instead of telling you that you have to be good. I've learn more with this video than in most of the homilies received in the last 20 years. Thank you Fr. Chris.

    I invite everyone to pray the Angelous three times a day, it only takes 2 min and it is so powerful. It is a beautiful prayer since the beginnings of our #CatholicFaith ❤❤❤

    I'm praying for the Communion rails to be returned to our Church so we are reminded of the Sanctity of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass and the Holy Eucharist 🙏 ❤
  • The whole number of Legionaries of Mary throughout the world gather to thank Mary and to renew total consecration to her. on this solemnity. It's called the Acies ceremony. Thank you , Father Chris, for giving us this great talk on the Annunciation . God bless you. Pray for us.

    Fr Chris, by the passion in your voice today, it’s clear to me that God had other plans for you by switching the topic of today’s timely talk. The story of ‘Billy the Barber’ is the among first of your many stories you have told us throughout the years and it never gets old. Just as Mary gave the Angel Gabriel her ‘yes’ which change the world, your ‘yes’ ito the priesthood has changed the lives of countless Catholics around the world - including me. I’m sure you were a blessing to the men in Worcester today as you are always a blessing to all of us. May the Marian Helpers gathered here be given the grace to say ‘yes’ to God’s Will in their lives. Holy Mary, mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen. 🙏

    OMGoodness Father! THANK YOU for explaining the Hebrew background of March 25th! OMGoodness. Sooooo beautiful. It brings me to tears.❤❤
  • I went to law school and yes, we used the word "pray" which means "to ask". I used it one time in a legal document and my friend told me not to use it because it sounds religious hahah! Thank you, Fr. Chris! Awesomely beautiful...
  • Thank you, Fr. Chris, for a great talk on The Annunciation. The way you explain it makes so much sense. God bless & strengthen you in your ministry.
  • Thank you Father Chris I love your teachings. You are a great Shepherd for all of us. God bless you and your family☦💞
  • @Sense2024
    I always wonder why The Annunciation isn’t a Holy Day of obligation. We should have an obligation to attend Mass today.
