Patrick opens the hour  with listener calls touching on Marian devotion as a path to knowing Jesus, the balance between faith and superstition in Catholic customs like burying St. Joseph statues, and the nuances surrounding prayer and sacramentals. Tall questions surface: Does Jesus share Joseph’s DNA? How do biblical passages frame marriage and lifelong singleness, especially against today’s shifting relationship norms? Personal stories of goodbyes, scriptural tangles, and unexpected house-selling miracles thread through a conversation brimming with candid curiosity and moments of heartfelt gratitude.

 
Nick - My spiritual director asked me how Mary brought me closer to Jesus? Can you help me answer this? (01:25)
Molly - I have heard someone say that Jesus had Joseph's DNA as well. I am wondering how is that possible? (09:40)
*Andrea (email) – Is burying a St. Joesph Statue for the purpose of selling a house superstition? (17:12)
Doug - Advice for saying goodbye for the last time to somebody on hospice. (28:45)
Karolee - Todays readings on 'some are incapable of marriage’.  What types of people are born incapable of marriage, and why did God make that way? (39:48)
Mary - St. Joseph statue: we sold our house 3 yrs ago. I did not bury the statue but I did buy it. We also did a novena. By St. Joseph's day, we got an offer. (49:17)

Patrick fields heartfelt questions from listeners grappling with Catholic teaching and daily challenges; everything from Mary's perpetual virginity and ancient Jewish folklore to wedding customs, prayers for wayward children, and the sometimes awkward details of parish life. Stories of potluck wedding receptions and potently simple analogies mingle with gentle encouragement, reminders of tradition, and a clear-eyed perspective on what truly matters amid shifting expectations and personal doubts. Every call brings a flash of real life: confusion, laughter, honest struggle, and hope.

 
Mary Jane - I'm engaged to a Methodist. He says there is biblical proof Mary had other children. Where can I find proof to counter this? (00:39)
Jouselin - Did Lilith exist in the Bible? After Adam and Eve died, how were more people born? (13:21)
Jessica and 6-year-old Thomas – Who made God? (18:33)
Sarah - Sometimes at church I feel like I'm genuflecting to people. My daughter is going to get married soon and I’m looking for any advice you might have for us? (23:37)
Efrank - I was told that certain vestments can be dry cleaned whereas others cannot. Why do priests listen to bishops saying to dry clean vestments? (40:37)
David - My wife and I had a nice wedding without spending a lot of money. My daughter is married recently. What does an invalid marriage mean? (45:17)

Do yoga and sound bowl practices conflict with Catholic belief? How old was Adam when he entered the Garden of Eden? Does Mass on TV fulfills a Sunday obligation for the disabled? Emotional moments of grief, family estrangement, and memories of life during World War II all give Patrick opportunities to offer honest spiritual advice and personal reflections that blend doctrine, empathy, and sometimes humor. He offers practical tips for faith, sacraments, and the value of recording family stories and reminders to seek God and cherish the generations before us.

 
Ann – My hairdresser plays sound bowls and has yoga at her house. Should I continue to go to her house? (00:34)
John - Do we know how old Adam was when he was placed in the Garden of Eden? (05:56)
Jessica - A relative passed away and the family started hearing footsteps and the cousin said that a black cat was in her home out of nowhere. Could there be any meaning or connection to my relative who passed away? (06:27)
Keith - Can a baptized non-Catholic receive the Anointing of the Sick or some other form of a healing blessing? (12:25)
John - Is okay that I contact my dead wife's guardian angel? I am beside myself. (17:30)
Lawrence - Can you point me to marriage prep online resources for those getting married outside the United States? (26:26)
Shannon – When Jesus is depicted on the cross, he is wearing a loincloth. Where does that come from? I thought the Romans wouldn’t leave him with any dignity. (28:22)
Judy - I have a 16-year-old who does not believe in heaven. She believes there is purgatory, but not heaven. How do I respond? (31:14)
Don - I'm a disabled person and can't go to Church very frequently. You said attending mass via tv does not fulfill obligation. What is the point of having it on TV at all? (37:01)
