A very warm thank you to the Kray Family for generously opening their home to our meeting on such short notice last night! I'm sorry Ulysses had to miss it; he was detained by Calypso, as Fr. so humorously explained! For others who missed it as well, a recap of yesterday's curiosity:- I think it is in the Gospel of Luke (the wise men, and the finding in the temple), where it says a couple of times that “Mary kept all these things in her heart.” What exactly does this indicate? And why is it repeated?
- If Jesus said, “about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father” (Mt 24:36), and if Jesus is God, then why doesn’t he know?
- I heard something once about different levels of happiness in heaven. Can you explain this?
- If God can create Mary without original sin, why doesn’t he create everyone else that way?
- Does a marriage count if the priest does not bless the wedding rings properly?
- Can you explain why some Protestants do not include some books in the Bible, books which Catholics do include? Why is this?
- What do you do if your friends don’t respect your parents’ property, and you have to hang out with them?
- I want to be a nurse for babies when I’m older, and if the baby is dying and I want to baptize the baby, and the parents won’t let me baptize the baby, can I over-power the parental rights to baptize him/her? Because every child needs to be a child of God. Help me understand this please!
- How exactly does the Catholic Church feel on organ donations?

Let us remember throughout this Lenten Season that Jesus wept in the Garden for each sin, large and small, that we have committed in our lives. Let us keep His image on our hearts and minds so that we may console His sorrow with our penitence and wipe His tears with our gratitude for His sacrifice.
