Are spiritual hardships punishments or blessings from God? Why do bad things happen to good people? Why do bad people prosper while the good suffer? What to do when a co-worker challenges your faith and you don't know how to respond? Calling Protestant ministers "pastor"? A Catholic health care system? Liberals promote tribalism! Frying fish in pork lard during Lent? Saint Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother: both saint and marksman.

Please also continue to pray for Maria Bischel, especially on the feast of St. Gabriel of the Sorrowful Mother, her special patron.
