Fr. Matthias Shehad addresses a variety of questions related to faith, family, and spiritual life. He discusses protecting children from harmful social media influences through education, physical boundaries, prayer, and modeling behavior. Fr. Matthias explains that children are not punished for their parents’ sins but can be affected by their consequences, and he shares the role of parental devotion in obtaining mercy.
He clarifies that repentance forgives sins, including idle words, as long as it is sincere. Fr. Matthias emphasizes evangelism as a Christian responsibility and explores how God communicates through peace, Scripture, counsel, and circumstances. He also tackles topics such as the Church’s stance on tattoos, homosexuality, and abortion, the significance of spiritual struggle, and the reasons why lotteries and excessive love of money are discouraged.
Throughout, Fr. Matthias encourages ongoing prayer, confession, forgiveness, and trust in God’s mercy as essential elements of the Christian life.
