• Allison (email) - I just got off the phone with you about the healing ministry school at the parish. My main concern was because the ministry is not specifically Catholic, is it ok to do? (00:32)
• Zachary - Do guardian angels hear our prayers to them if we mumble? Are we supposed to meditate on what is in the mystery of the Rosary? (06:04)
• Laurie - You praise the Walton's a lot, but they don't go to Catholic Church. Is it still ok to watch them? (12:16)
• Pat - A woman my son knows wants to become a Bride of Christ. What does this mean? (19:40)
• Tom – I am physically disabled and people ask to pray with me, but I find it annoying that they can’t accept the fact that I’m in a wheelchair. Do you have any advice? (24:40)
• Charlotte (email) – I am considering changing parishes from the Military Diocese (I am retired military) to a parish in my community and I have a child that is 12 and will need to receive Confirmation (28:45)
• James (email) - I was reflecting on Sunday’s first reading, Genesis 18:20–32, where Abraham pleads with God to spare Sodom and Gomorrah if even ten righteous people can be found. It made me wonder—could it be that in our own time, it’s just a small number of truly holy people who are holding back God’s justice? (31:13)
• Jackie - Can evil control or hear our thoughts? (35:53)
