I have been doing a lot of reflecting and research on what is going on in the world today.  I have even asked myself what I would do if I was approached to kneel  Listen to hear my answer and why I choose to be salt and light to this world.

On this week's show, author and speaker Dominic Albano offers some tips and insights to help us to find purpose and to achieve one of life's greatest goals based on the work in his new book The Fundamental Theory of Happiness.

Questions Covered:

• 03:26 - Is it possible that we are made in the image and likeness of God due to the Grandfather Paradox of Jesus assuming human flesh to begin with?• 08:48 - My friends came up with a fun weird question for the next show: If I am transporting the Eucharist in my car, can I use the carpool lane?• 13:43 - Do frozen embryos make their guardian angels wait with them?• 15:08 - Will the bodies of people in hell (or heaven for that matter) need to eat and drink? Will our bodies just, subsist without sustenance?• 19:38 - How was the holy house of Loretto transported from Nazareth to Italy.• 22:00 - What happens to a person who can’t remember their sins through memory loss from, say, an accident, aging, or a disease like Alzheimer’s? Do they cease being culpable for their sins if they can’t remember them to repent and ask for forgiveness and reconcile with God?• 29:22 - What could the physics of the “new heavens and new earth” (new creation) be like, such that this would no longer disintegrate due to entropy, etc.?• 35:32 - If the Star Trek style transporter kills the person and creates a clone with that person’s memories, would a person who gets transported in such a manner have to be baptized or confirmed again? Would a priest who gets transported have to be ordained again? What about confession? What if you commit a mortal sin, then get transported, would the clone with your memories have to go to confession?• 42:18 - If hell is complete and final separation from God, and God is necessary for existence, how do people and angels exist in hell? Another one – is the devil in hell yet, and if not, are the people in hell waiting for him to get there or are they all waiting until the end and judgement to enter hell?• 47:41 - What are the spiritual and perhaps biological implications of combining human and pig or cow DNA? Besides having no justifiable health consideration and being seriously wrong for tampering with trying to create previously non-existing life forms, is it possible that a cow or pig could come to the realization that it will wind up as steak or bacon? If it is well known that trauma from violent wars can be passed down and sudden unknown memories which seem like deja vu do happen, is there enough information here to make human/animal chimeras unequivocally illegal? Who do we call?

Questions Covered:

• 19:10 - I work at a large corporation that has a big Pride celebration each year. Every year it seems it gets more forced upon the employees. How do I handle this? If I decline to wear a sticker I get dirty looks.• 23:57 - Thank you for your work at Courage. How can I get parishes in my area to cooperate with Courage?• 31:35 - My parish seems to support homosexuality. What if a gay person wants to join the Church? They would join with a false idea of what the Church teaches.• 41:26 - I recently came back to the Church after an active homosexual lifestyle. Why do the bishops condone Fr. Martin’s actions and not support Courage more?• 49:23 - I have a gay friend who asked me to help him make some T-shirts for Pride Month. How do I stick to my values and maintain our friendship?

Like all the sacraments, holy anointing was instituted by Jesus Christ during his earthly ministry. “This sacred anointing of the sick was instituted by Christ our Lord as a true and proper sacrament of the New Testament. It is alluded to indeed by Mark, but is recommended to the faithful and promulgated by James the apostle and brother of the Lord” (CCC 1511; Mark 6:13; Jas. 5:14-15).

The anointing of the sick conveys several graces and imparts gifts of strengthening in the Holy Spirit against anxiety, discouragement, and temptation, and conveys peace and fortitude (CCC 1520). These graces flow from the atoning death of Jesus Christ, for “this was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah, ‘He took our infirmities and bore our diseases’” (Matt. 8:17).
