January 3, 2022
By Father Kenneth Doyle
Catholic News Service
Filed Under: Commentary, Question Corner

Q. I am an 88-year-old Korean War veteran with a question that is not earth-shattering but one that bothers me almost every day. I talk and pray to God, to Jesus and to the Blessed Virgin Mary out loud — every morning and at night before I go to bed. But there are also times when I pray silently — just in my head — especially if I wake up during the night. So what I need to know is whether those prayers — the silent ones — are heard.

Hosting unmarried couple/ Call no man ‘father’
