This week there are two questions in our “Ask Father”

series. Our first question, “Why are some Patron Saints more popular and more recognized

than others?” explains why some names are more popular than others in the

Church. The tradition of being named after a Saint or event in the life of

Christ is an ancient but sometimes confusing tradition. Our second question, “How

should we prepare our homes and our life for the Holy Spirit?” continues to

follow-up with the issue of welcoming the Holy Spirit into our life. The simplest

answer is “we should live the life of the Church.”
