FaceBook Live - Dave & Jen
Fr. Dave answers your summer questions of faith!
Here are the questions we answered:
2:07 - I understand that we are asked to not come to the Eucharist with a mortal sin on our soul. Did Judas have one at the Last Supper? If yes, wouldn't Jesus have denied him? Why not?
17:10 - There’s lots of praying for mercy for our failings during the mass... why isn't that enough or is there another purpose for confession?
19:56 - Why do we choose a name, usually a saint, during confirmation to help us along our faith journeys?
28:22 - Was Job a real person?
32:30 - Prayer for Regina’s friend, Estelle, who is unaccounted for in the Miami condo collapse.
34:55 - Is there a specific saint who will intercede with prayers to help heal someone's heart?
37:17 - Did Mary give birth to other children after Jesus? Why do we say the words “I ask blessed Mary ever virgin,” in the I confess to you prayer, if she had other non-miraculous, biological children?

Questions of faith!
Fr. Dave answers your questions of faith! Here are the questions we answered: 2:50 - I’ve always thought (and it was confirmed in the Homily this weekend) that we don’t earn salvation. It is a gift for those who follow God. If this is so, why is there a line in the Eucharistic prayer that says, “May we merit to be co-heirs in Eternal Life”? I believe in another prayer, it says, “not by our merits.” 14:36 - Today in Detroit, we are observing a Day of Fasting and Prayer for the healing of our nation. I get the point of prayer, but I’m not certain I can qualify the benefit of fasting. 29:16 - I’m in need of some Fatherly advice. Listening to a Busted Halo podcast, I learned Christians who are not Catholic may go to the sacrament of reconciliation. I am a divorced Catholic and faithful Busted Halo-wearing, regularly-attending Mass parishioner. I was told I could not receive the sacrament of reconciliation until my marriage is annulled. Please explain why a non-Catholic may go to reconciliation but I cannot.
Fr. Dave answers your questions of faith
Fr. Dave answers your questions of faith! Here's what we answered: 4:30: I am looking to train to be a Eucaristic Minister, but in this time of COVID no real training opportunities are available. Many parish ministers have been told not to visit church members due to government guidelines. Can you provide information to me so that I can train myself to do this vital task? 13:56: Father Dave, please share some insights for voting in the National Election. 15:17: Can a priest tell me who to vote for? 19:51: We are selling our house and I’ve heard about buying a St Joseph kit at the catholic store that you bury in the yard to ask for his intercession. My husband does not think this sounds like something the church would approve of. I told him I’d ask Father Dave what he thinks! 28:30: I have been a “cradle Catholic” my entire life. Over the years I have grown away from the Church. I want to get back into my Faith and Church. Where should I begin? I also feel as if I’ve forgotten many of the teachings of the Church. Seeking direction to get back where I used to be. God Bless.
We’ve missed you! After nearly 6 months of producing The Busted Halo Show without live callers, we are excited to announce that starting tomorrow, The Busted Halo Show will once again be LIVE! Give us a call at (888) 322-8465 between 6-8 p.m. ET, and tune in on @SiriusXM Radio (ch. 129).
Answering your questions of faith
Answering your questions of faith 4:27: If a new church is built, are there relics of a saint placed in the new altar? 3:53 If you receive Last Rites while dying, do you go straight to heaven when you die? 25:45: Will you be viewing the movie “Fatima” that is being released tomorrow.... and any thoughts on this movie? 28:50: I saw some bread tongs being sold by a company that predominantly serves Catholics. I thought during this pandemic it would be a respectful means of extra safety passing out the Eucharist. One of the priests at a local parish said that using those would be against Canon Law. Is it truly against Canon Law? 36:50: So Fr Dave, given that we have had major fires, earthquakes, hurricanes and a “plague”, is this the end of time? Kind of a tongue-in-cheek question but we have experienced A LOT recently... what should we take from all of this?
Questions of faith!
Questions of faith! 1:49: I have never heard the voice of god speak through me. You often hear people saying they do when they pray or in a spiritual retreat but I have never. How do I work on this? 13:37: How do I properly dispose of a damaged rosary? 19:50 What is the Catholic Church view of Cremation? What is the difference between preserving cremated remains vs preserving body parts for prospective saints? 35:21: How do we refer to our Guardian Angels when talking to them? They have no gender and we are not supposed to give them a name. 37:52: Why do we only give the Eucharist to fellow Catholics? We believe it is the body of Christ why aren’t we feeding everyone? It just makes sense to me to want to share Christ with everyone.
Answering your question about Mary, our Blessed Mother
Answering your question about Mary, our Blessed Mother 2:20: What is the difference between the Dormition and the Assumption? 24:00: Father Dave… can you tell us about the Marian apparition in Wisconsin? 36:50: Was Mary a widow at the time of the crucifixion? 44:21: What do you say when a noncatholic is continually harassing you for praying the rosary?
Fr. Dave answers your August questions of faith!
Fr. Dave answers your August questions of faith! Here's what we answered: How is the decision made to close a church? My parish has been struggling, and I don't see our current priest being able to change it or make it grow. My husband/father of my children is not Catholic but we all are. He attends church and supports us all. What can be said when my children ask what will happen to their dad when he dies if he’s not Catholic? If a parent baptized a baby with water because of virus and was fearful something would happen to baby & now wants to have a Church baptism, can they? We live in an archdiocese in which we are able to attend mass, thankfully! However, the archbishop continues the dispensation to allow people to watch mass at home if needed. This past Sunday my husband was sick and since we have 4 young kids and we need all hands on deck at mass, we stayed home and watched on tv. However, since I was not sick, does this meet my Sunday obligation or do I need to go to confession before I receive communion again. Feels like this is a grey area and I don’t want to receive communion if I shouldn’t be. Please explain the Act of Spiritual Communion prayer. I am attending Sunday mass, in person, at my local parish. I also listen to the daily mass on the radio on my way to work. Is it still appropriate to say this prayer ?

These rose quartz gemstone beads display a lovely, unique pink tone. The natural, gentle pink essence and striking glimmer is a result of iron and titanium impurities in the natural stone. They are considered photosensitive and will fade in sunlight, so care for rose quartz beads accordingly.
