Father Tom Wilson joins Patrick to discuss Fasting.
Christ fasted before His public ministry. It was a time of preparation, just as it is for us. Catholics between the ages of 14 and 59 are to fast 2 days per year.  Fasting is supposed to help us become more in tune with our Lord, spiritually. It reminds us that the blessings that we choose to set aside are less important than the Lord who gave them to us in the first place. (1:09)
John - I was unaware that we had to abstain from meat on Fridays. By listening to RR, I found out otherwise. I've been fasting on all Fridays. (22:16)
Marie: I'm a mom and decided to give up social media for Lent. I thought it wouldn't be much of a sacrifice, but as we've been in Lent, I realized how much I was missing with my daughter. Didn't realize I had a problem with it. (28:27)
Ilka is fasting from meat and also eggs, dairy and butter. Any fast that helps us change direction a little bit, is going to be helpful? (32:43)
Patrick: I've added something rather than taking away. My Lenten 'fast' has been reading the Gospel of John. (35:14)
Miguel – I decided to give up smoking during Lent. (45:13)

Modern Idols - The Inner Life - April 16, 2025 [ENCORE]

Judy

Thomas

Mary

Candy

Check out this great encore show from April 8, 2025

Father Bobby Blood joins Patrick to discuss Charitable Chastisement
How do you discern when to offer correction to someone?
(14:14) Judy - I wish somebody had loved me enough to chastise me. I walked away from faith, husband, etc. Nobody said Judy...you can't do this. I think it's important that we love enough to do that. I've come back to God and I know how much he loves me. It took a long time to accept the fact that he forgave me.
(17:57) Thomas - I do sales for a living. When you have the truth and a way to convey it...chastisement, etc. tonality and all are everything. One of the ways to chastise is to site another source. Another way is the tonality...like... raising the voice. Coming from a place of love.

(22:16) Break 1
What are things we can say to help build a relationship?
(25:11) Mary - My sister was seriously ill. Didn't realize it was terminal. I told her she had to get it together because she was very ill. I talked to a priest and he went to see her and everything was taken care of.
Patty – I have been wanting to control my husband who is living in sin and the Lord told me what to do in talking with him and it worked out great!

(37:36) Break 2
Isabelle - My dad wasn't a Catholic. He was sick...92...and I used to go to church every day. I asked a lady from church if she could take a priest to see him. He went to confession and received the Eucharist. 9 days later...he died.
 (41:36) Candy - How do I talk to a 3 and 8-year-old about accepting correction or even correct them? I'm a mother of 3. I don't know how to better handle it.
