• Can you please interpret for me the last verses of the Angelus prayer? "Pour forth, we beseech thee... through the same Christ our Lord. Amen." It is a very difficult passage for me and I could use some insight into its mystery.
• My spiritual and physical life are in shambles and I've lost my way. Please help, as I'm starting to have crazy thoughts.
• The first verse of the first chapter of Timothy is often used to question Catholic disciplines. Can you please dissect some of the language that is used?
• Did the apostles hear confessions?
• When was the Rosary established within the Catholic church?
• I am a revert Catholic. Could Father please explain if venial sins are to be confessed regularly? I believe I read that mortal sins must be confessed before receiving the Eucharist.
• If Mary was conceived without sin and full of grace, did she already have the fruits of the Holy Ghost in their fullness, or did she receive them on Pentecost?
• Can you speak on how we can honor Jesus' Sacred Heart like St. Margaret Mary?
• If you go to mass on Saturday night i.e. vespers for Sunday, can it still count for Saturday night for first Saturday devotions and can you still receive communion at two different masses on the Sunday?
• Tips on attendance policies for non-Catholic weddings!
