0:00.0	Hi, I'm Edward Sree, and welcome to all things Catholic where real faith meets real life.
0:07.0	Sometimes when my children do something wrong, they hurt their brother, they don't
0:16.9	handle a situation properly, they feel badly about it. They wish they
0:20.4	didn't do it that way, but they don't come right out and say sorry.
