Description
Fr. Josh answers questions about holding hands when we say the Our Father during Mass, what to do about a dry spiritual life, and whether it’s possible to reconcile a love of rap and a religious vocation.
Snippet from the Show
“Holding hands is not a required posture during Mass. The only thing required in the GIRM is that we’re standing during the Our Father.”
SHOWNOTES
Glory Story (2:32)
Listener Feedback (9:50)
Holding Hands During the Our Father (12:10)
What's up with holding hands during the Lord's Prayer? I don't see anything wrong with it but question why people do it to begin with. What's the history behind this and what does the Church say about it?

Loss of Zeal (18:20)
I recently found your podcast and I love listening to it as it is down to earth and practical. I'm a young religious sister recently professed (1 yr). Since my profession, I have been in a desert period and I'm tired of being in this place. I want to regain the zeal I once had to spread the love of Christ. How can I overcome this?
-Natania
Rap (27:35)
Hi Fr. Josh, I am a Ghanaian from West Africa, the motherland. I am graduating from the university this year and I hope to join the Franciscan conventuals next year. I love rap music and I myself can write raps but I fear it will be a hinderance to my vocation as I love both my vocation and rap music so much. Please I need your advice on what to do. Thank you so much.

The Eucharist, Relationship Standards, and Smoking Weed: Fr. Josh talks about the Eucharist, relationship standards when it comes to faith, and the morality of smoking weed. Glory Story (5:50) Smoking Weed (10:30) I know a lot of Catholic friends who are fine with smoking pot. They say that they can do it in moderation just like drinking alcohol. If it were to become legal, would it be ok to smoke occasionally? If not, how is it different than drinking alcohol? -Aaron The Eucharist (18:18) Why must we believe in the real presence of Jesus in the Eucharist? -Teresia Relationship Standards (26:07) In searching for a partner, how important is intellectual compatibility and spiritual compatibility in the long run? Is it sufficient if the other person is just mildly Catholic or is it important for him to match my spiritual level? I am new to the dating scene and I prefer someone who is serious about his faith, who is willing to grow and learn with me, who can discuss theolog by Ask Father Josh (Your Catholic Question and Answer Podcast)
