Welcome, everybody. This is a U.S. Grace Force podcast. I'm Doug Barry, along with my very good friend, Father Richard Heilman. And tonight we have with us, Father Chris Alar, once again joining us. And of course, we always like to bring you really interesting topics and really

exciting titles like this one has God shown us how to avoid chastisement, although we're very

serious about this. And considering the sensitivity of the times that we're in, it is definitely

a subject that needs to be taken seriously. So we do mean, yes, we want to keep things a little

bit light now and then, but we've also got to really dig into the nuts and bolts of this sort of issue so we can really respond the right way and

actually try to avoid, you know, the chastisement that's been talked about and that's been

worn through so many messages. Before we get into all this, of course, we do want to start with

a prayer. Father Heilman, we turn that over to you. Sure. In the name of the Father's Son, the Holy Spirit, amen. St. Michael the Archangel defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray. And do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, cast into

hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

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

Awesome, wonderful. Thank you very much, Father. And we want to thank all of you out there who

support the U.S. Grace Force podcast. Every episode, I just can't thank you enough. Your comments, your prayers, your encouragement.

Every way that you help us mean so much to us. For those of you who support us to the Patreon program, also that is a powerful way to help us. And we thank you so much for that.

A few dollars from a lot of people goes a long way and helps us reach a lot of lives, a lot of souls. And I mean that. So please consider doing that. And we thank all of you for that you are in all of our prayers. And also, don't forget the U.S. Grace Force gear page. It is the official gear page, some great t-shirt, sweatshirts, hoodies, all types of items out there, get great messages out there. We have Gracie, of course, the mascot of the U.S. Grace Force. So go check that out. And that's another great way to help support the work that we're trying to do here. Also, again, I mentioned this last week when I mentioned it this week. Don't forget to check out a great new family-based YouTube channel called Always a Kid. Link in the description below. Remember that innocence that God is calling us all to no matter what our age is. So check out Always a Kid. It's a fantastic

YouTube channel to bring a lot of joy and hope and a lot of, a lot of it again, innocence in the world that we really, really need to be experiencing. Father Heilman, we have with us again, a good friend returning from the bullpen. I like to say, Father Chris O'Lar, Father Chris, good to have you on board tonight.

Thank you.

Always great to be here with you guys.

Yeah, and you were just talking about joy and hope, and that would be two perfect words I would use to describe you, Father. But you're the provincial head of the Marians of the Manic Conception. And but you're, I know for Doug, too, and for all of our listeners,

you're one of the most trusted sources out there for teaching and, and just becoming spiritually

strong and everything that you do. We're so very grateful for that. And we asked you to be on

tonight. This is actually airing on the Feastay of St. John Bosco.

So we're going to get into that a little later.
