The Image of Our Lady in Czestochowa, Poland, said to have been painted by St. Luke the Evangelist, is among a small group of Black Madonnas recognized throughout the entire world, largely due to the piety of Pope St. John Paul II. Also known as Our Lady of Jasna Gora, the miracles of Our Lady of Czestochowa are numerous and spectacular. Father Chris Alar, MIC, tells the story. Then hear about a place in the heartland of America where millions of travelers find a similar sense of hope and Divine Mercy. Standing tall at the intersection of two major interstates, the Cross at the Crossroads in Effingham, Illinois, serves as a universal sign of peace for all who pass by.
Watch Fr. Chris Alar, MIC, and the Marian Fathers and Brothers from the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy on our weekly show, "Living Divine Mercy," airing on EWTN every Thursday at 10 pm ET, with an encore presentation on Mondays at 9:00 am ET. Through teaching segments, Bible and St. Faustina Diary excerpts, as well as real-life examples of people who are living Divine Mercy in their lives, you will learn why Jesus said Divine Mercy is mankind's last hope of salvation! Ep. 259: Our Lady of Częstochowa & the Black Madonna
