* (4:25) Bible Study: * Exodus 11:10—12:14 * What are the differences and similarities of the Mass and the Passover? * Matthew 12:1-8 * What does it mean that Jesus desires mercy and not sacrifice? (22:28) Break 1 * (24:06) Letters: * How many new years are there in the Jewish Calendar? Do we need to refrain from blood and meat now days? Father answers these and other questions, send him a letter at simon@relevantradio.com (36:39) Break 2 * (37:21)Word of the Day * Perpetual Institution * (39:53) Phones: * Mark - I went to mass and the readings were about trusting god's plan. I had surgery and was not allowed to eat anything that day and so I didn't take communion. Should I have taken it as part of trusting god's plan? * Pat - My family has gotten into Judaism. what do i do? it threw me a little. * Greg - the gospel says 'Jesus WAS saying' instead of 'he said'. It’s not quite fully in past tense. what’s your thought on that? * Sal - I was trying to give rosaries to some Christians who came to my door and They got all defensive and offended and my reaction is always anger to them. What's a better way to approach this and when they mention the first commandment?
