In today's episode, we delve into some deeply personal and thought-provoking stories that have grabbed the attention of our listeners. From a caller contemplating abortion to another caller considering a vasectomy for the sake of his wife's well-being, we explore the complexities of these situations and offer prayers and guidance. We also address the question of whether it is appropriate for Catholics to use the term "karma." And, as always, we share stories and reflections from our own lives, discussing the joys and challenges of parenthood and the impact it can have on our spiritual journeys. Furthermore, we highlight the amazing call from Alicia that has touched the hearts of so many, prompting listeners to unite in prayer and support. We hope you join us for this enriching and uplifting episode of The Patrick Madrid Show!

• Jim - Yesterday's show was incredible. 40 years ago my wife and I were considering abortion. We had him and he has been such a blessing.

• Dan (email) – Is it okay to use the word Karma?
• Abbey - I am a mother of 5 and I struggle with postpartum depression. It made me reflect on my own family and what I should be doing to be the best mom I can be.
