• Sue – My sister joined the Messianic Jews and is telling me that Constantine set the date for Christmas. Is that true? (01:06)
• Nora – Jesus told Saint Faustina to ask anything of the Father and He will grant it to you. If I ask for the conversion of someone, do I have assurance that it will happen? (05:15)
• Annette – What does it mean when the priest pointed his index finger and middle finger at my eyes before giving me the Eucharist.
• Anna – I accepted a job but it wasn’t right for me so I quit, and now am feeling down. Are there any bible verses that can help me through this time? (21:11)
• Charlynne – During the intersessions, what is the difference between “those who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection” and others who are mentioned who are dead? (28:33)
• Mary – Can you clarify why deacons can bless holy items like priests can? (32:15)
• Nancy – Many Protestants don’t believe in Purgatory. Where in the protestant bible does it talk about getting purified? (38:33)
• Myritis – I am a convert to the Catholic Faith. When I was 15-years-old, I was praying for Catholics to be saved, but when I was 19 I came into the Catholic Church through Mary. The Catholic Church is the true Church.
• Keith – If someone commits adultery and goes to confession, does that mean the sin is completely forgiven? (45:05)
