Questions Covered:

  • 03:58 – Are we supposed to raise our hands or hold hands during the Our Father as Mass?

  • 23:10 – In Sirach 3:30 it says that almsgiving atones sin. What does that mean?
  • 24:50 – How do I reconcile my distrust for the Church? I want to return but I’m conflicted.

  • 50:34 – I get frustrated when the choir sings and adjusts the responsorial Psalm. What would you recommend I do?
