Ask a Franciscan

What can I do about those who do not go to Confession? They’re active in Church. They’re adults and married more than 25 years. I’m puzzled. My son-in-law’s parents may not go either.

I am developing a scruple over how an inheritance from my mother was divided. I hope that I did not do anything wrong. Please help me put my mind at rest.

Most new saints are either priests or women who belonged to religious communities. Which of the most recent saints is a wife and a mother?
