When you do things for people because you love them, it's different, right? That is how we should be with God, with love in our actions, words and thoughts. His grace will flow into us allowing us to love others even more. God is love....and is so good!

Planning retirement while there is a recession can be tricky. Start by looking at your current monthly expenses. Exclude expenses related to work and include new expenses related to retirement. Subtract the monthly expenses from your monthly retirement income.
If your expenses are more than your income, how much do you need to withdraw from savings each month and how long will your savings last?
Doing these calculations before you retire will either bring you peace of mind or the realization that retirement needs to be delayed.
The Compass Blog has more on details to consider if you are retiring during a down market.

Allison Gingras shares the story about her financial journey. Allison realized the extent of her debt when the bank refused to extend her any more credit. Around the same time, she met the co-founders of Compass Catholic Ministries, Jon and Evelyn Bean. They presented her with the opportunity to participate in a Compass Catholic Bible study, which she now credits for her much of her family's financial wellness. It hasn't always been easy but now Allison can use her family's financial journey to glorify God.

Callers choose the topics during Open Forum, peppering our guests with questions on every aspect of Catholic life and faith, the moral life, and even philosophical topics that touch on general religious belief.
Questions Covered:
- 01:56 - Is it true that if people get an abortion, are they automatically excommunicated from the Catholic Church? Also, does that mean people who commit murder would also be excommunicated?
- 07:50 - Do Catholics and Protestants worship the same God?
- 11:28 - Pope Francis said that the mind of God willed the multitude of religions. Is this true?
- 15:15 - Does baptism of desire give the same graces as baptism and remove the stain of sin?
- 18:09 - Are the three days of darkness really going to happen?
- 21:50 - What is the mark of the beast? Has it already come?
- 31:55 - Why does God allow abuse or torture?
- 41:05 - Are Catholics bound to believe in a certain form of purgatory?
- 43:53 - In Mt. 12:31-32, Jesus says sins can be forgiven in the age to come. Does this mean that sins can be forgiven in purgatory?
- 47:50 - Why is our Church called the Roman Catholic Church and not the Church of Christ?
- 51:11 - My husband is Church of Christ. He wants to know if there really is an unbroken line between Jesus and Pope Francis. Can you help me?

Callers choose the topics during Open Forum, peppering our guests with questions on every aspect of Catholic life and faith, the moral life, and even philosophical topics that touch on general religious belief.
Questions Covered:
- 02:31 - I received absolution over the phone. Was this valid and acceptable?
- 13:17 - What are the Scripture verses that support Catholic faith and works ideology?
- 21:30 - If the company that you work for promotes abortion, what can you do? Is it wrong to work there?
- 33:01 - Does the phrase “our hearts are restless until they rest in you” mean that we can only have the peace of God when we are in heaven?
- 35:36 - I am an atheist and I can’t believe in Genesis. Does the Catholic Church believe in quantum creation or other similar scientific theories?
- 45:40 - I have a younger brother who hates religion. He said the Catholic Church is a farce because they don’t believe in astrology, but they celebrate the resurrection based on astrology. How can I respond?
- 51:55 - Did Mary have other children than Jesus? If not, why is the word “brothers” used and not “cousins”?

The commandment to love our enemies seems impossible sometimes, especially for those who have been badly hurt. So what does Jesus mean by this commandment? Are we all obligated to follow it? And if we do follow it, what does it mean to love those we don’t feel any love for?

The anxiety that has bubbled just below the surface capsizing my frightened heart through all the experiences I’ve had during the lockdown has brought me in touch with anxiety issues that are nothing new. They have been woven through my life and have affected me spiritually and emotionally. This may be happening to you. Perhaps you are touching more keenly the wounds of PTSD, OCD, scrupulosity, midlife losses as sands are shifting. Emotional struggles. Grief. Depression. Fear.
I’m reminded of what I was once told by a wise mentor: What is important is not the situation itself, but how we are with these situations that are calling us to doubt, question, and fear ourselves and sometimes life itself.
The realities that we live through can bring on headaches, sleeplessness, dissociation, emotional distress. Sometimes these can last for weeks, months, years. At times we are aware of how all this is wearing on us physically, psychologically, and spiritually. At other times it remains a secret even from ourselves.
Mindful practices, awareness exercises, contemplative presence can help us come home to who we are, as we are, in whatever space we are in....

In this podcast, Tony remembers an old friend who when asked, “Ace, how are you?” Would always answer,” Blessed, I’m Blessed!” Let’s look at our blessings.
Scripture:
“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are they who mourn, for they will be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the land.
Blessed are they who hunger and thirst for righteousness,for they will be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they will be shown mercy.
Blessed are the clean of heart, for they will see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.
Blessed are they who are persecuted for the sake of righteousness for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 5:3-10
Reflection:
If someone asked, “How are you?” Would you answer blessed? Do you feel blessed? What do you think of my friend Ace’s answer?

Calls:
- 01:03 - I am pro-choice because I think that people should have the legal choice.
- 20:09 - In the Bible, if a man suspects that his wife committed adultery and is with child, then they would perform an abortion with the bitter water. How do you explain that?
- 34:43 - I am pro-choice because the Catholic Church doesn’t support healthcare for all. If you can’t afford a child, you shouldn’t have a child.
- 46:06 - I am pro-choice because it is wrong to legislate a woman’s body.
