(12:23) Mary - Sports and spiritual life. I'm working out right now and listen with my air pods. I've always found that when people talk about body building, I've always thought about it as we as a church are building a body. It is made up of many people and we're all working to build together.
How can Sports become too all consuming for families?

Fr. Matthew Widder joins Patrick to discuss The Presentation of the Lord
What is happening in our Church today?
(2:01) Why does Mary get purified if she is perfect?

What does the sacrifice mean in the bible?
(21:49) Michael - I'm a parishioner of Fr. Matthew's parish. I've been going through a lot of stuff and might not be here without Fr. Matthew.
