Marka (email) - How can we know if the small voice we hear is coming from God, our guardian angel, our own conscience, or some other source? (00:42)
Linda – Is there a book or resource that I can share with OCIA candidates? (06:57)
Yolie – My friend's wife is cremated, and he has her ashes in an urn on his dresser. Is that appropriate? (13:37)
Larry (email) - Just listened to your response about an LGBTQ friend and possibly moving on. It’s amazing to think that if I followed this advice I would be leaving a relationship with not only my own precious 31-year-old daughter (just recently found out about her) but other family members and friends. (17:11)
Maureen - How can I help my friend understand that the normal Mass is just as valid as Latin Mass? (27:12)
Tito - Why aren’t the Coptic Orthodox and Catholic Church united? We seem to have a lot in common (36:06)
Paul – I’m preparing middle schoolers and high schoolers for Receiving Communion. How do I present this to a group in a Parish where it’s normal to receive 'in the hand'? (43:23)
