Glory Story (2:25)

No Tears in Heaven (5:26)

If there are no more tears or weeping in Heaven, then when we ask the saints to pray for us, do they experience our pain and sorrow? If I understand correctly, our Holy Mother, Mary, weeps for us.

Did Mary Feel Anger?

Father Josh, most people talk about the suffering that Mary experienced during the passion and death of her son, but wouldn’t she have experienced anger too? Wouldn’t she have felt outraged at the pain and suffering being inflicted on her son? I know she would never have acted on any anger she felt because she is without sin, but that doesn’t mean she didn’t feel it, right? Can you help clarify, thank you.

Struggling with Scrupulosity

Hello Father Josh! I have been dealing with ocd/scrupulosity and I have a question. I confessed my mortal sins from the past year or so and I didn’t really know and forgot to say how many times I committed the mortal sin. Does this mean that I have to re-confess those sins again or was my confession valid?
