QUESTION: Sir, I am working among many Hindus colleague. they often brings prasada(offerings of Hindu god) in office. For humanity sake i accept their prasada in a devoted way. But before eating it i make sing of cross, feeling in mind that it just a eating thing not a prasad. Am i doing wrong.
ANSWER: Hi, my suggestion is for you to politely tell your colleagues that you are a Catholic, and as such, will have to decline their offering since you have your own unique, Catholic beliefs. I am sure that your colleagues will understand and will respect you.
