(5:30) why is today a significant day?
The Mercy of God through Confession.
(15:10) Karina - I'm a returning Catholic, and feel I need to make a General Confession. What should I do about sins I forgot and now remember?

(23:46) Break 1
(25:22) Sr. Maria Francesca - Do we know why the USCCB decided to the consecration today instead of tomorrow on the Feast of the Sacred Heart?
(32:08) Robin - My brother is one of the bishops going to be at the consecration!! I am very excited.
(34:02) Damon - I returned to the Church 5 years ago. Mass and adoration. Is there a 'starter kit' for doing a novena or consecration.

(40:39) Break 2
(42:43) Nicholas - How can we relate this consecration to the line in the Pledge 'one nation under God'. What is the Churches' interpretation on this line?
