Mt 6:7-15
Father talks about the importance of Fatherhood and breaks down the Our Father

Letters
Why didn't the Sadducees believe in angels?
Why is it OK to scatter relics of the saints?
Why did Jesus say "God makes the sun rise on the bad and good alike."?
Gen 1 and the Trinity--why don't the Jews believe in the Trinity?
Jews say Jesus didn't fulfill the prophecy of 3 days and three nights--how do we respond?

Word of the Day: Trespasses

Callers:
Mass on Sunday: is it a mortal sin to miss mass?
Is it ever justified to do an abortion, when if there's no abortion, mother will die?
Is it a superstitious to continue to ask prayers for certain things; sometimes it enters my head that there's some type of superstition?
Our Father Prayer 'For thine is the kingdom....', why do we say it during mass, but why not like during the rosary
