Patrick takes questions from listeners about the intricacies of church practices and religious life. He hears from Peter in Staten Island, who shares his puzzlement about the omission of the washing of the feet during Holy Thursday mass, and Patrick provides insights into the discretion that priests have in including or omitting certain elements in the mass. The discussion takes a heartwarming turn as nine-year-old Marilyn from Racine, Wisconsin, asks about the transition of sisters into mothers in the convent and the process of a deacon becoming a priest. Patrick explains these transitions with warmth and clarity, even offering advice to Marilyn about exploring religious life.
