• Patrick continues his dialog about Jew’s being the “Chosen People” (00:45)
• Gayle (email) - Had a exhausting conversation with a good friend last night who opposes us reading the passion on Palm Sunday.  When the crowd part arrives, she says she will NOT say the words "Crucify Him." (20:18)
• Kim (email) – In 2023, it was proposed to outlaw talk of Jesus and Christianity in Israel. I don’t think it was approved but it is unnerving to know leadership in Israel proposed it. (This proposal went nowhere.) (31:08)
• Jeff - Who do the Jewish people believe that Jesus Christ is? (34:23)
• Robert - I don't see Mary or Joseph speaking with anyone about their angelic visitation. Was there no scandal in the eyes of the people with Mary getting pregnant since Joseph and her were betrothed? (38:22)
• Tony - For the first time in my life, I was at Palm Sunday Mass where they did not have the audience help with the readings. Is that okay? (41:03)
