<p><strong>Questions Covered:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>03:58 – Are we supposed to raise our hands or hold hands during the Our Father as Mass?</li>
<li>15:38 – I notice people specifically ask saints to heal or protect them, not God. It’s off-putting. Can they do other things apart from interceding?</li>
<li>23:10 – In Sirach 3:30 it says that almsgiving atones sin. What does that mean?</li>
<li>24:50 – How do I reconcile my distrust for the Church? I want to return but I’m conflicted.</li>
<li>45:20 – I’m a Christian and a minority. How do you deal with people who tell me I should convert because their religion is better?</li>
<li>50:34 – I get frustrated when the choir sings and adjusts the responsorial Psalm. What would you recommend I do?</li>
