This episode of The Patrick Madrid Show is 🔥 Holy Spirit fire meets tough love. The heart of it? Get your soul to confession: like, now. Not later. Not "someday." Now. 🙏💯

 

 

💬 The Setup: Elizabeth Calls In

 

Elizabeth from Maine (and we LOVE her ❤️) calls in and says:

 

-She and her friends (all in their 80s!) 👏 hit up Dunkin’ Donuts every Sunday after Mass 🍩☕️

 

-One day the conversation turns deep 💭: “Hey, when’s the last time y’all went to confession?”

 

-Turns out... many haven’t gone in years. 😳

 

-One friend was even told by a priest that her convert husband didn’t need to go. 

 

-Elizabeth is heartbroken, literally cried after talking with them 💔

 

-But instead of despairing, she calls Patrick Madrid. 

 

 

📘 Patrick's Book Recommendation:

 

“Lord, Have Mercy: The Healing Power of Confession” by Dr. Scott Hahn


📚 A deep, biblical, and soul-nourishing read. Totally recommend if you're rusty on the why behind confession.

 

 

Patrick’s Take:

 

“It is the height of folly for people, especially the elderly, to play fast and loose with their salvation.”

 

 

He said this:

 

-Jesus Himself established confession (John 20). He literally gave the apostles the power to forgive sins. Not a metaphor. Not a warm fuzzy feeling. This is real-deal supernatural stuff.

 

-You don’t know when your time’s up. And Patrick's like: “Look, you don’t want to be standing before God thinking, ‘Oops, I meant to go.’” 😬⏳

 

 

😳 Embarrassed to Confess? Patrick’s like:

 

-Everyone sins. You’re not special in your sin. (Love you, but it’s true.)

 

-The priest won't be shocked. He’s heard it all. He probably won’t even remember your face. And he’s got the cure to your soul-sickness. 🩺💒

 

 

THE BOTTOM LINE:

 

Don’t be foolish. Don’t gamble with your eternity. Get to confession.

 

-✅ Do an examination of conscience 

 

(Download the Relevant Radio App 📲 It’s got a confession helper built in. No excuses now.)

 

 -Go confess with humility and sincerity

 

-Make a real effort to convert and turn away from your past

 

-Receive God’s grace

 

-Be free

 

✝️ Final Thought:

 

Confession isn’t punishment; it’s healing. It’s Jesus saying:

 

“Let Me restore you to the beauty I created you for.”

 

So, if it’s been a minute… or a decade…


GO.


Jesus is waiting. The priest is ready. Your soul is worth it. 🕊️✨
