Understanding the Holy Spirit - Explaining the Faith

I'd like to say just THANK YOU for these talks. Unfortunately in my parish there is not much of faith formation nor does our priest preach on the Gospel too much on Sundays. I pray for him and all priest who have difficulties. These talks come like a drink of fresh water. We yearn so much to learn and grow more in our beautiful faith. Honestly I am tired of not hearing the truth and being preached to so softly. I don't want to offend our priests God bless them but we need more who are not afraid to speak truths. Lord help us

Just found this 3 years later in 2024 and I thank you so much for this and other talks. The Holy Spirit has been working on me! Praise be to God! 🙏🏽

This comment is for Father Chris Alar. You truly are amazing. You have inspired me in ways I never thought possible. I don't even know how I found you but I believe it was miraculous intervention. I had stopped attending church and receiving the sacraments about 30 to 35 years ago. However, I started saying the rosary a while back and I started feeling a strong pull to go back to church. So I called my ex-husband, who though we are divorced, is still my best friend in the whole world. I asked him to go to church with me on Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Sunday and of course he did. Yesterday, after all those years, I went to Confession. I am so filled with joy. I know that strong pull to go back to church was Jesus himself. I can't begin to tell you Father Chris, how your words inspire! You so eloquently speak God's word and it becomes alive! I feel like God sent you to me, to save me. I am so blessed. Please continue to talk to us. God's plans for his people are there if we just open our ears and listen. God bless you Father Chris. I thank God He gave you to us, His people. Please be safe and know you are loved so much by God and His people.!

The Catholic faith is fascinating and exciting! It all comes together. Wish I would have known all of Father’s talks before my 60’s. Feels like I am opening up a fantastic book for the very first time❤️‍🔥God bless us all and keep us in His arms.

God has blessed you as a great teacher. Your topics are timeless. I am learning things that I should have learned long ago. I can’t keep these YouTube videos to myself. I pass them on and pray that family members and friends watch them, too. God Bless you and we know it is a lot of work for you to get these programs ready but if we all pass them on to others who don’t know about your work, your job will still be taught years after you are gone. What a legacy!! Thank you, Jim and Sonyia Brake Delaware

5/13/24: I can’t have enough of Fr Chris’ Explaining the Faith series, and this one about the Holy Spirit interests me so much, that listening over and over again makes it more and more imbedded in my thought and heart, and, of being MORE in LOVE with the HOLY SPIRIT, the Spouse of our Most Holy Mother Mary, whose compassionate Heart embraces us all because, she gave Birth to JESUS OUR SAVIOR!!! 🙏 “Glory be to the Father, And to the Son, And to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, Is now, and forever shall be, World without end!” Amen 🙏 God bless us all listening to Fr Chris, And, God bless all the Marian Fathers, for all their good works !!!

Father Chris, my husband and I are watching this almost 2 years later, and are most grateful that you have recorded all of these talks. We have learned more about our Catholic faith by listening and learning from you. Thank you and Blessings for more of these teachings. PS We became Marian Helpers 😊

I am your student and you are part of my family too. Thanks, Fr. Chris. Thanks Father God, through Christ our Lord and Savior. 🙏🏼 Amen ❤😊

Lord Jesus have mercy on my tinnitus sound of the ear n bless all those who prayers for me. Holy trinity have mercy on me

Thank you, Fr. Alar! I was born in 1957 and therefore experienced many changes in the Catholic Church. After 8 years of Catholic School, I was adrift. I gave up trying to keep up and my focus became centered on my life here on earth rather than on eternity. In the past 5 years, I’ve set my priorities straight. I am so grateful for your help in learning my Catholic faith and in strengthening my soul. May GOD bless you, Father.

Praise God that He gave you to us! You are a true Blessing and Shepard of the Church. Thank You and please continue to instruct us in our faith because we are hungry for truth and knowledge of our beautiful faith. God Bless You Fr. Alar!

Thank you for explaining the sin of the Holy Spirit!! Phew. I pray I can always ask for God's forgiveness. Amen

Fr. Chris, you're the BEST teacher!
