The "Hot Seat" Five!

1. Favorite prayer?
The Memorare

Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary,
that never was it known
that anyone who fled to thy protection,
implored thy help,
or sought thine intercession
was left unaided.

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee,
O Virgin of virgins, my mother;
to thee do I come, before thee I stand,
sinful and sorrowful.
O Mother of the Word Incarnate,
despise not my petitions,
but in thy mercy hear and answer me.

Amen.

2. Favorite traditional hymn?
What Wondrous Love

3. What gifts do Catholic youth bring to the Church today?
Gift of their youthfulness, their excitement, and their enthusiasm.

4. What was your first instrument? How old were you when you learned it??
Piano. I started at age 5 and I cried at my first lesson. The teacher said, "I can't teach him!" So my mom worked with me at home.

5. Complete this line: "When I find myself in times of trouble . . ."
Mother Mary comes to me . . .
