Message of Mercy

The following excerpt comes from the new Marian Press book After Suicide: There’s Hope for Them and for You by Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and Jason Lewis, MIC.

Two years in the making, the book honestly and pastorally addresses the hard issue of suicide and draws from teachings of the Church, the message of Divine Mercy, and Fr. Chris’ own experience of losing his grandmother to suicide.

In 1997, after Charlie Bolcer proposed to his future wife Linda, both prayed separately to ask the Lord exactly when they should become wed.

"Separately, we got the inspiration we should get married on the eve of Divine Mercy [Sunday]," Linda said. She didn't realize it then, but that "coincidence" was a sign of blessings to come.

Let's take a look at a few examples.
