Divine Mercy in the Liturgy: It's NOT Just a Devotion!

About this episode

Fr. Chris Alar discusses the integral role of Divine Mercy in the Liturgy and its significance in Christian life.

Divine Mercy is both a Message and a Devotion. As JPII and Pope Benedict stated, the message of Divine Mercy is NOT optional. It is the "nucleus of the Gospel" and an integral part of Christian life and prayer - not a secondary devotion. So in answer to all the criticism about St. Faustina and the devotional of Divine Mercy, Fr. Chris Alar explains where Divine is within the Mass: EVERYWHERE!
