Annunciation: What You Never Learned! - Explaining the Faith

Hear things about the Annunciation that you have never heard before and why it was the most important day in human history. Hear Fr. Chris Alar explain what we need to know about this solemnity. Includes answering such questions as is Christmas a pagan holiday? Is the Hail Mary Biblical? Do we worship Mary? and the difference between Mary and Zechariah.

    Dear Lynne, My wife and I are 3rd Order Discalced Carmelites we will add your intention to our prayers. Please also know there are many places to go that have communion rails and reverence. Look up to see if you have the Fraternity of Saint Peter in your area or the Sovereign Order of Christ the King. They have many locations around the world and the mass is always reverent and holy. They both under the pope and there are usually multiple priests and lots of

    I am blessed to live close to the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts where this was filmed. I joined the Catholic Church 33 years ago at the age of 27. The wonderful friends that I got to know told me all about the Shrine, the Divine Mercy Devotion and St. Faustina's Mission. Her Diary, Divine Mercy in my Soul, is my favorite book after the Bible. It gives the reader a glimpse into just how intimate our relationship is with Jesus and the Trinity. But most of all, Jesus pours His Heart out regarding how much He thirsts for Souls to TRUST HIM and how His Mercy truly IS unfathomable! 🥰 Practically every single sentence is amazingly mind-blowing 💥🤯.....

    Very very precious date: March 25: birthdate 📅🌹 of my late great uncle, nicknamed 🦌moose, who was a navigator who died in wwtwo serving our country.🇺🇲😔 My grandparents only discussed him a handful of times, because the greatest generation were stoic. Only after they died, my mom found all the photos and the preserved poppies, given to all family members of all martyred military.🎖️ ✝️🛐🕊️🌿🕯️🌹 Thanks for letting me share his story; I grieve knowing so little about a man born during Lent or Holy Week. Interestingly, I collected stuffed plushie moose long before I learned Great Uncle was called "Moose." I pray he comes to get me when I die for my journey to heaven. 💟💜🤍🕊️🌿😇🐈🐾✝️🛐

    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. 🙏

    Fr. Chris, thank you for the most important topic you discuss on today’s feast :The Annunciation of the Lord . I gather some beautiful words which are of great value to me to imitate Jesus and Mary such as: the Will of God, obedience, Fiat, humility, simplicity, innocence and resignation. Their lives are the perfect model of holiness and purity, suffering and sacrifice and everlasting joy in the bosom of the Father. I remember the Church of the Annunciation in Israel during our pilgrimage some years ago. I couldn’t believe that I was actually there praying, meditating and cherishing the mystery of God’s condescension to humanity. How can I ever thank Him? Lord, help me to see your Holy Will in everything and not refuse you anything but your Will be done. God bless you always, Fr. Chris, and thanks to Bro Mark for the livestream. Prayers for you.

And in THAT Universal ♾️ Sense, which the O.T. authors weren't privy to yet, Our FatherGOD is Abba , and makes US All Brothers. No one ever gets Matthew 23:8, do they.

    Hello Father Chris, today I celebrate and give thanks because 45 years ago, I became catholic. As a child I had a longing to know more of the Blessed Mother. Unfortunately no one could explain Her to me. I read a book on Fatima as a young adult, my now husband took me to Mass. The rest is history. Mary is my confirmation name. I had no problem whatsoever on the teachings/dogmas of the Blessed Mother. Thank you, Father!!

    Another wonderful presentation. Me too have been attacked spiritually by these protestants many times without reason . They simply enter in to your work place room and start the conversation by saying rosary is evilish. And its painful to hear those words. I have tried my best to make them understand luke chapter 1 and later I realized that these Protestants never wish to understand or accept Mary mother of Jesus . They love to interpret bible verses in their on reasoning thats pleasing and favourable to them in wordly affairs. A real quotation teams who quote or use bible verses inappopriately .
