I'm Father Chris Alar. Good morning from the National Shrine of the Divine Mercy here in Stockbridge, Massachusetts.

It's always a wonderful grace to have you with us.

And we're excited because today we're going to be talking about something that people have been asking me.

I know I kind of say this every week, but people are like, Father, why haven't you done this talk?

Or why haven't you done this talk? This is definitely one of those. Blessed Michael Sopochko is the

confessor, or was the confessor of St. Faustina. And what we have been revealed by him is absolutely incredible. And this is absolutely one of my top five in the saints,

even though he's a blessed. This is an incredible story and one that you don't want to miss.

And so we're grateful. We just did a living divine mercy episode

last Wednesday, a couple days ago, on him, but today we got a lot more. So let us begin with a

prayer in the name of the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. Amen. Heavenly Father,

we ask you the intercession of Blessed Michael Sopochko that your

divine mercy be showered upon the world, especially in this time of trouble. You knew St. Faustina

better than anyone other than Jesus, and we ask that you help share what God's mercy was meant to be and how we can live it.

And we ask all this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

In the name of the Father, into the Son, into the Holy Spirit. Amen.

So let's go to our first slide. This is the talk that we did that's up on our website of Blessed Michael Sopochco on he was St. Faustina's confessor.

This was our Living Divine Mercy Show on EWTN.

If you haven't seen it yet, please join us Wednesdays at 6.30

as we will now be hosting different shows

on Father Thaddeus hosting, Father Mark Barron, Father

Don Calloway, we'll be doing some. So we're excited. There's a lot of good stuff coming. So today,

this is something that, like I said, I should have been talking about a long time ago,
