(22:27) Tom - I've always wondered if Jesus felt because of his humanity we as human would feel abandoned by God. Was that an expression of his human feeling because he was fully human. How can Christ feel he was abandoned? if he were fully human, he would feel that way. Can you explain that?

Break 1

 
Evelyn - Mission at our parish. I do it every week for homebound people.

 
Debbie - Question: I would like to go about presenting or somehow dialoguing with priests in terms of making an awareness of Marian apparitions and lives of the saints. Why is that not being discussed as a mission of the church?

 
Mayra - I've done a lot of mission work overseas, but I've been sending cards to widows at Valentines Day. I send a card once a month for a year and a half to let them know that someone is thinking of them.

 
Break 2

 
Christine - I go up to strangers in stores and I offer a slip (handout - first part about St. Faustina) and ask if they're Catholic or protestant. I wait for their response. 

 
Rose - As an elderly person, I've begun as an elderly shut-in to make calls. At the end of the conversation, I've started to say, 'God bless you.' People enthusiasticaly respond to it.
