“Are laypeople supposed to raise their hands during the Our Father?” This question opens a discussion on the practices of the Mass, alongside inquiries about the role of saints in intercession, the meaning of almsgiving in Sirach 3:30, and how to reconcile personal distrust in the Church while seeking to return.

Questions Covered:

  • 03:58 – Are we supposed to raise our hands or hold hands during the Our Father as Mass?

  • 24:50 – How do I reconcile my distrust for the Church? I want to return but I’m conflicted.
  • 45:20 – I’m a Christian and a minority. How do you deal with people who tell me I should convert because their religion is better?
