Break 2

 

What is a daily Examen?

On today’s show, Fr. Dave Heney invites you to “Ask Me Anything”.
Pauline - Souls in Purgatory. I understand they can't pray for themselves, but can they pray for us?

 
Andy - Medical ethics: When I was 20, I was involved in an accident and had a brain injury. Is it ethical to suspend artificial nutrition if I was to go into another vegetative state?

 
Break 1

 
Emilia - Purgatory: My mom passed away 2 years ago. I'm wondering and praying for her. How do you know when they're out or do you just perpetually pray for them?

 
Richard - Are all the fruits of the mystery of the Rosary focused on Jesus?

 
Lori - When did the Luminous Mysteries come into existence and is it necessary to say them on a particular day of the week or can I stay with the regular 3 mysteries?

 
Break 2

 
Julio - I have a problem with addiction. I've recently gone back to the Catholic Church. I've spoken to some people in the church about therapy in general. I heard some say it's not necessary and others say that it is necessary. Is it ok to go to therapy or not?

On today’s show, Msgr. Robert Dempsey joins to reflect on the life of St. Joseph

 
Kristin - I say the litany of St. Joseph every night. We had an incident where our son had pneumonia when he was 16 and had to take him to the hospital. I found my "Memorare to St Joseph" card and prayed it. I truly believe that he interceded for my son.

Elizabeth - I have a son and daughter. I pray always that my son will be a St. Joseph and that my daughter will be sent to St. Joseph.
