When a Delaware caller named Jennifer called in to The Patrick Madrid Show, her heart was heavy. Her 25-year-old niece – and goddaughter – had recently gotten an abortion. Now Jennifer was wrestling with a difficult question: How do you speak to someone you love after such a tragic decision?

Patrick acknowledged both the gravity of the situation and Jennifer’s unique role in her niece’s life. As a godmother and aunt, she is in a position to offer something her niece desperately needs: truth spoken with love.

Patrick encouraged Jennifer to pray first, asking God for the right words at the right time. He reminded her that while abortion is a grave sin, God’s mercy is always greater than our failures.

“You’re not there to judge her,” Patrick explained. “But you can lovingly tell her the truth.”

Rather than lecturing, Patrick suggested asking gentle but meaningful questions: Is she ready to seek forgiveness? Does she want to be reconciled with God? Those questions may linger in the heart long after the conversation ends.

Patrick also pointed to the parable of the Prodigal Son. Just as the father waited patiently for his son to return home, God waits for every repentant sinner with open arms. No one is beyond His mercy.

The conversation served as a powerful reminder that authentic love never abandons the truth. Sometimes the most loving thing we can do is accompany someone through their darkest moment while helping them see the path back to God.
