Hannah - CALLER BACK FROM YESTERDAY- I asked about psalms 103 verse 10. I was telling him about my cousin who was abandoned. When I read that scripture how does this relate to someone who has abandoned their family?
Michael - Why does the priest incense the people during certain times of the mass?
Sue - What is the difference between offering up a mass personally for my intensions vs. having one said by the church? AND is it alright if I ask Mother Mary to bring my communion to those in heaven after I have received it?
Judith - May you elaborate on how we should pray to God? I understand that we should come to him when we are in need of something from him. How do approach him when the prayer is more general and less personal? As in the conversion for all sinners or for the whole country.
