• (38:30) Phones:
  • Jessica - Is it okay to hug a priest.  My son gave him a hug and his brother saw that, and was wondering if it's okay.  Worried about gyms?
  • Jim - Could you explain Filial Love?
  • Barbara - Whether you wash ashes off forehead.  A priest told me 30 years ago, and if you're proud of it, wash it off.  If you're ashamed of it, keep it on.
  • Sebastian - Non Catholics use the King James Bible and speak in old-fashioned terms and there's a disconnect, and there's a translation gap.  What do you think about that.  Like words used 'righteous'
  • Yvonne - When we do our offerings at mass, during the offertory or could we put it before mass?
