  • Mark - I went to mass and the readings were about trusting god's plan. I had surgery and was not allowed to eat anything that day and so I didn't take communion. Should I have taken it as part of trusting god's plan?
  • Pat - My family has gotten into Judaism. what do i do? it threw me a little.
  • Greg - the gospel says 'Jesus WAS saying' instead of 'he said'. It’s not quite fully in past tense. what’s your thought on that?
  • Sal - I was trying to give rosaries to some Christians who came to my door and They got all defensive and offended and my reaction is always anger to them. What's a better way to approach this and when they mention the first commandment?
