Thank you so much for today’s podcast. A question arose, as I listened. Kyle, you made mention of using 51% beeswax candles for candlemas candle blessing. Can only 51% beeswax candles be used for candle blessing on Candlesmas? If so, does it mean that candles used that are less than 51% beeswax are less efficacious? When I have candles blessed, in general (throughout the year), they are made with 12% beeswax. Should I not be using these candles? Any details you can give me about this subject would be greatly appreciated.
I have family members with young and newborn children. Some believe they don't have to attend Mass until they are able to better manage their children. Therefore, when should young couples start attending Mass with their children?
