This conversation highlights the power of faith and God's ultimate plan.   Patrick continues answering Mary’s question from the end of the previous answer about if those in the Old Testament are in heaven Greg - Teaching young kids in Poland how to use guns.

They serve dinner to families and educate parishioners. (39:33) Robert - I read 'The Hidden Mana'. It is very comforting to know that the faith of the common person has kept the Church going.

They are not training to kill. Just basic gun use. Biggest difference between US and Poland is that Poland has stricter gun laws. (15:49) Joe – In yesterday's reading. St Paul said we are to rejoice always. Do you know of a book to help me understand how to be joyful in tribulation? Also, what is the difference between joy and happiness?
