<p><strong>Questions Covered:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>03:13 – Is prayer similar to telepathy? Do the saints in heaven communicate telepathically?</li>
<li>17:00 – Human beings have no memory of their time as infants or their time while in the womb. Is it possible that during these times, God has the ability to communicate with human beings, and they can understand and respond? Or if certain things about our lives were revealed to us, but once we cross a certain threshold in time or development, we can no longer remember these things?</li>
<li>23:11 – If you could go back in time to any time period. What event would you try to change the outcome of and how would you do it? (Assuming that changing the past is possible).</li>
<li>40:39 – Do Daleks have souls?</li>
<li>45:55 – If we assume ghosts are real, why would they even exist? Why would God allow a soul to stay on Earth? Doesn’t that go against everything Christ taught about what happens when humans die? How can one reconcile the Christian afterlife with ghosts?</li>
<li>53:30 – Do you go clockwise or counterclockwise when praying the rosary?</li>
</ul>
<p>“Do ghosts ask for prayers?” This episode delves into the intriguing question of whether ghosts, potentially souls from purgatory, seek Masses for their peace. Additionally, we explore why God might allow hauntings that seem like repetitive imprints, the moral implications of workplace automation, and the fascinating intersection of Catholic themes in the Star Wars universe.</p>

<p><strong>Questions Covered:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>02:32 – If Ghosts may be souls from purgatory whom God has permitted for a particular reason to appear and interact with the living. Why don’t all ghosts ask for Masses to be said for them?</li>
<li>14:45 – Why, in your opinion, would God allow hauntings which act as a non-interactive recording or psychic imprint, which seem to repeat over and over again in the same place, and may even be left by people who are still alive (as opposed to singularly unique and interactive apparitions of the dead)?</li>
<li>21:23 – What are the moral implications of using new technologies in the workplace, knowing that it could lead to other positions becoming obsolete and other employees being laid off? Example: Someone needs to use AI or other forms of automation to meet the requirements for their job, but too much success could convince a CEO to completely replace another human’s position with technology</li>
<li>32:20 – Does the phenomenon of dead bodies being incorruptible only happen to saints, or does it happen to non-Catholics as well?</li>
<li>34:18 – Can you explore Catholic themes and spirituality in the Star Wars universe? The chosen one, the Force, jedi order, symbolism, sacrifice of Vader, redemption, etc. I know George Lucas is hardly Catholic, but perhaps he unwittingly drew on the things found in the largest entity in the universe…the Catholic Church. Thanks, and may the Force be with you!</li>
<li>43:15 – Are mine and my husband’s guardian angels friends? Is my guardian angel friends with my children’s angels? Or is my angel like a mentor to my children’s angels?</li>
<li>48:10 – If one’s guardian angel were asked to console Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane, would the angel be allowed to do it?</li>
