    Father Chris, you are the one that has convinced me now that Catholic faith is the one true apostolic faith. Catholic faith has the fullness of the truth. NOW I focus & give my time to listen to your talks and teachings. This the first time I feel so hungry to listen to The Truth. And make me respect more to the Catholic teachings. I feel so sinful and want to live a holy life after listening to your talks. I have listened to a lot of non-Catholic/Charismatic/Protestant preachings and teachings. And sermons from boring Catholic Priests. Now I listen to your talks hours and hours patiently and repeatedly. Thank you Lord JESUS for sending us Father Chris Alar and has made me to listen him patiently.

    I went to confession today, May 7 2021 for the first time in 50 years or more. I was afraid the priest was going to yell at me, I was embarrassed etc etc. I want to urge people out there to go; please just go and get it over with. It wasn't a bad experience at all. The priest in the confessional was very very kind and understanding. It will be worth your while to go- please consider going- take the step, DON'T Be afraid and go.

    These talks are invaluable. Catholic for 50 plus years, I admit, with some shame, that I don't know everything about Catholicism. Our faith is soooo deep and wonderful. Most of my life, I have done the "minimum"....weekly mass, made all the Sacraments, etc. But it wasn't until I was in my forties that something switched and I wanted and desired to learn and do more. A burning inside, the presence of the Holy Spirit, being more mature, getting closer to death....I don't know exactly what triggered this new desire to learn more, to do more and be more. Some days that burning is low. Other days I can't read and pray enough. As long as the Lord knows me, loves me, and brings me to Him at the end, I can't hope for anything more.

    This has been an amazing talk on confession which you’ve really educated me on confession which I had no idea. I’m 70 years old today a Catholic all my life took all my vows with the Catholic Church. I stayed with you to the end. I’m very amazed what I just learned. I live in Hawaii and try to watch you as much as I can. I love the rosary and divine mercy which I recite thus daily every morning as soon as I get and also during the day. I have a cousin who was a Brother and belonged to the Marian’s . He passed away several years ago. I want to continue and listen to your talks. You make it so interesting as I want to continue with you. Can you please pray for me Father and I thank you very very much!!!! Amen ❤

    I fell asleep to Explaining the Faith and woke up around 1:30 while this episode was playing. I began to think of my family and wondered if my mom and brothers would return to confession. Minutes later, I picked up my phone to find a message from my oldest brother from St. Peter's en route to Portugal to walk The Camino. He had just been to confession after 40 years -- at St. Peter's, no less. Coincidence? I think not. God is so good, and Miracles abound! Thank you Heavenly Father, and thank you Father Chris! ❤❤❤

    Fr. Chris. Albeit this teaching is from 2 yrs ago (I’ve been following you for a little longer) Everything happens in Gods time and when we are in a place to accept it. Well I’m in that place, must tell you this talk hit my soul. I will go without trepidation. When you explained the only unforgivable sin is against the Holy Spirit and explained why, then said by going to confession with a contrite heart is a sure way not to offend God. Well Fr. Chris, you are amazing! Truly a Servant of God. I must let you know, I have listened to you on speaker (phone) past year, on occasion my husband in other room. I sent him your talk recently on purgatory. Again there are no coincidences, he has decided to become Catholic, currently in OCIA. Praise be to God, decades of prayer and sacrifice answered. I truly believe God used you as one of His instruments. Thank you for your “yes” to your calling of being an internet Shepard guiding the flock of Jesus and Mary We need more Holy Priest such as you. You are remembered in my rosaries. May God continue to bless you and guide you thus spreading His goodness, love and mercy to us, your internet flock. Fr.Chris rocks in saving souls!

After watching and listening to this it made it totally clear to me that I need to confess my sins. I especially liked how he showed us a scripture in the bible John 20: 23 that proves this point. Thank you Mom and Father Chris.

Just as I had asked the Lord to renew and strengthen my Catholic faith during this Advent season, I discovered your talks and have been watching them and taking notes so that I can grow and defend my Catholic faith. These talks have been such a blessing this Season to me! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! I am falling in love with my Catholic faith all over again and and Growing deeper in my love for our Lord and and our Blessed Mother. Pray that I may continue to deepen my faith and that I can learn the wisdom of our Catholic faith to carry in my daily life as a nurse and share it with all that I encounter.

    Thank you Fr Alar for this wonderful talk. I feel the main reason for people to turn away from their catholic faith is because we are not taught in detail about it. I got into new age being born and brought up in a catholic home and never had been to confession for more than 15 years (I would say my entire life since I didn't confess all my sins before) because I never knew the importance of it unless I heard your talk. I never remember teaching us the importance of mass and what happens during the mass. I lived my life just like anybody else lived justifying myself what was wrong or right according to my terms or what I believed was wrong or right. It was after listening to your talks I turned away from new age and embraced Jesus, his importance in my life, why confession is so important, why attending mass is important and why prayers are important in our daily lives.

    Norma Condon - Thank you for the wonderful lesson today - Confession and Divine Mercy. I will do my confession immediately and can't wait to get to Confession (reconciliation) when Pres Trump and the leaders of the World can get the churches opening again. I hope they are listening to Pres Trump he has a brilliant mind. More people are dying of old age sicknesses, road fatalities, and suicide through mental stress than the virus has wiped out. Thank you Father Chris. Very uplifting all your talks. Bless you in your good works.

    Pres Trump said that George Floyd would be proud looking down from Heaven yesterday. I think they said he was a security guard who worked with the policeman who had a grudge against him and killed him with a special martial arts hold on his neck with his knee. Well, now he will be in history same as Martin Luther King Jnr who died as a martyr for his cause in trying to get equality for blacks and all colours. Because around the World there would have been around a million people shouting out his name and getting the courage to stand up for their people to have better treatment in the future. So George Floyd will be looking down from Heaven and know his death was not in vain a lot of good will come from it. I have been saying for about 20 yrs and I am nearly 80 now, that whether we are black, white, yellow, red (USA indians) or brown (islanders) we are all Gods Children and He loves us all the same, and we are truly brothers and sisters. In my family I have a son married to a beautiful Filipino, my brother was married to a wonderful lady aboriginal mother Japanese father for 57 yrs before they died, and my grandson in Paris is married to a French African young lady whose family has been in Paris 30 yrs from Cote D'Ivoire, West Africa, so I have encouraged them all to marry who they love, and they are all very happy, and I know they are loved by Heavenly Father the same as He loves me. Whatever Pres Trump says I can understand his heart is in the right place, but whatever he says people always turn it around and make something bad out of it. When he said "now the looting has started the shooting will be next". I think MLK said this. But I am not happy to see others on the other side of politics in USA trying to incite people to kill the Trumps. I pray for Donald, Melania and their beautiful families every day. You are doing good work and I pray that you will be able to get through to all those who need your messages. Thank you.

I believe that God send You in this channel to enlighten me and push me to prepare for a.good Confession with Humble and Contrite Heart, especially during this days of Lenten Season. Preparing also to join the pilgrimage to Limasawa Island to commemorate the 500 years gift of Christianity in the Philippines. I've been listening to you and I realize the unending Love of God through You. Once again I thank God for you because through your nice, concise, & clear explanation, you bring me.back to the source of LOVE & LIFE which is GOD Himself, inviting me once again to enjoy swimming & to go deeper in the Ocean of Love and Mercy of GOD. ❤️🔥🙏🙏🙏💯✝️✝️✝️🔥
