Your Spiritual Life

Father Vincent Serpa takes questions of a pastoral nature in this hour devoted to the care of souls, growth in the spiritual life, and healthy relationships.

Questions Covered:

  • 06:02 - At what point do we stop being patient with those who commit offense and “tip tables” as the Lord did in the temple?
  • 16:07 - My brother was murdered years ago and I was wondering if there was any justice or compensation he will receive in death? This has been a barrier in my relationship with God.
  • 22:00 - My archdiocese has an LGBT Catholic outreach. Am I supposed to accept this and if so how?
  • 28:44 - I was let go from my job at a Catholic school after years of service. I developed PTSD, anxiety, and clinical depression. Returning to that parish for Mass is difficult because I am afraid to run into people I know. Is my missing Mass because of my anxiety a sin?
  • 40:15 - How can I help friends who are gay so they will turn from their sin but not run away from me?
  • 43:40 - I want to pray more but it’s hard to jump start my prayer life and make it a routine. What do you suggest?
  • 51:33 - What does it mean that the Mass is a sacrifice and how does someone participate in this sacrifice?
