Glory Story (2:32)
Donating Your Body to Science (4:53)
What does the Catholic Church say about donating your body to science, such as to a medical school?

Old Testament Saints (6:45)
Maybe you’ve answered this question already but I’m listening to your show from the beginning so forgive me! Do we regard the people from the Old Testament as Saints? I thought about this question because if I were to ask for the intercession of Moses, first is that okay to do and second do I just call him Moses or St. Moses? Thank you and I love your show!
-Emma
Veronica in the Bible (11:58)
I want to know more about the 6th station of the cross, Veronica wipes the face of Jesus. I can’t seem to see this referenced in the Bible, I assume Veronica is one of the women of Jerusalem who wept for Jesus? Can you please explain some more and give some Bible references? Thank you.
