Patrick addresses the possibility of fetal-micro-chimerism and if the presence of Jesus's cells provided healing for Mary, receiving Communion if one gets to Mass late, when to stop praying for the dead, and TLM vs Novus Ordo. Patrick shares his wisdom and perceptivity, all from a Catholic focal point, to answer listeners' question.

Email - James - Can you explain fetal micro-chimerism and if the presence of Jesus's cells could have provided healing effects for Mary?

Maria - Can a Catholic receive communion if they come late for Mass?

Gloria - My mom died recently, and I have been praying for her. When do I stop praying for her soul and start prayer to her as a saint?

Alex - I would like to talk about the TLM versus the Novus Ordo and how uncharitable the liturgy wars are. What is your take on it?

Paulette - Can you explain the apostolic blessing which my husband received before he died? Did my husband go straight to heaven?
