St. John the Baptist - Living Divine Mercy (EWTN) Ep. 249 w/ Fr. Chris Alar

About this sermon

John the Baptist is mentioned centuries before his actual birth in several Old Testament prophecies, particularly Isaiah’s, where he said, “A voice crying out in the wilderness to prepare the way of the Lord” (Is 40:30). Normally, the Church does not celebrate the birth of saints, but rather their deaths. So why do we celebrate the Solemnity of the Nativity of John the Baptist on June 24? Father Chris Alar, MIC, explains. Then hear the story of Steven Thomas who, after a profound conversion, felt a fire for the Catholic faith that led him from the seminary to a life dedicated to strengthening families. Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Thursday at 10 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET. Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation!
