Theresa - I've been widowed 41 years. 

 
Confidence in God’s goodness is foundational

 
Justin - AS in any relationship, we need to learn about Jesus and our faith. There are so many resources such as Relevant Radio. We need to take the initiative to learn more and that has increased my faith.

 
Break 2

 
Jonathan - Eucharistic adoration and experiencing the Lord there. I struggle sometimes with it even though I believe He is present. I find that having a relationship with God is difficult.

On today’s show, Fr. Chris Walsh j­oins to present overcoming attachment to comfort.  

 
Can Convenience become something we are too attached too?

 
Greg - When would a person discern? 

 
Break 1

 
Email – Robert – I think comfort is connected with safety.

 
Liz - I've experienced this with AC this summer. We don't have it and have been able to deal with it.

 
Charles -Without a car it's difficult, and I've been without a car for some time. I'm in the best physical shape of my life because I'm walking everywhere! But...I can't help people as much.

 
Break 2

 
Email - Connie – I used to get hangry but since becoming Catholic God has helped me overcome this through prayer and fasting.

 
Tina - I lost my son. I got too attached to him. Now that he's gone, people say, 'Oh, God is with him.' How do you overcome that? I feel like since I lost him, I can't get attached to anything else. I loved him more than anything.

 
Email – Mary: It helps me to imagine Jesus on the Cross and my little inconveniences suddenly become bearable.

Janet - I currently go to the parish near my house. I have a hard time going to confession there. I find myself going somewhere else because I'm embarrassed and they might judge me since I know the priest.

 
Break 1

 
Theresa - Going to confession when you have mortal sins. Confessing the same things over and over. My experience, it gives you the grace to not do that anymore. Going to confession gives me that grace. Don't wait until it's mortal sin.

 
Saskia - I'm new, not a Catholic, but going to start OCIA soon. I went to confession once and told the priest I didn't know what to do. I almost committed a mortal sin. Would I have to confess that?

 
What about sins that are hard to confess like abortion? How do I get over this fear?

 
LJ - Do parish priests recognize your voice or even a medal hanging on your neck?
