Hi, this is Chris McGregor. Before we begin, I want to let you know that Disserting Hearts needs your help.

To continue offering free, faithful Catholic content, now in both English and Spanish, we must raise $40,000

by Divine Mercy Sunday. Why is this important? Because souls around the world are searching for truth,

for hope, and for Christ. And this mission helps them find him.
