Advice for those who have lost hope in life
What happens to a consecrated host, the Eucharist, if it is presented by a lay minister (Extraordinary Minister of the Eucharist) or a deacon during communion, and not by the consecrated hands of a priest? I know you've said that such action is a desecration. What does that mean? Does the Eucharist cease to be the body, blood, soul and divinity of Our Lord? Is it "nullified" or "lessened" somehow? Does the communicant commit a sin if he or she receives communion from one of these people?
Can you recommend a homeschool program?
What are the signs of the true church?

Discussing the role of a Christian Mother in honor of Mother's Day
A Muslim girl is going to convert to Catholicism on the 18th of May, but she is living with a man.

I humbly asked her to share her situation with her priest and make a true confession before she received the Holy Sacraments, but she got angry. What shall I do?
Was the Blessed Mother bound by the old ceremonial law prior to the birth of Christ? And if she was, would it be possible for her to remain pure and also menstruate monthly as all other fertile women do? Or could it be that her first ovulation produced the egg that produced Jesus?
