On today's Patrick Madrid show, Jodi wants to convince her friend about changing his practice of receiving the Eucharist without Confession, Greg disagrees with what Patrick said to a caller yesterday about Baptism, and Patrick provides Brad with some resource to help him discern a call to the diaconate.

 
(00:42) Jodi - I have a friend who won't go to confession or mass but receives the host. Can you help me convince him to change this practice?

 
(12:56) Patricia - My grandson, who is Catholic, is getting married in April, but his fiancé is not baptized. Is it okay for me to attend the wedding?

 
Break 1

 
(18:37) Greg - I disagree with what you said yesterday about the priest who put his thumb on the baby forehead then it wasn't an actual baptism. I think that there are so many priests who mess up the proper way that it would cast doubt on the validity of many sacraments of the Church.

 
(28:03) Brad - I am discerning becoming a deacon and I was wondering what I can read about this.

 
Break 2

 
(37:18) Arthur - I am worried about my family not making it to heaven because I don't evangelize. I am the only Catholic in the family, and I don't talk about the faith with them. What should I do?

On today's Patrick Madrid show, Patrick discuses wrestling against the principalities and powers with Al, Paul has a question about Baptism, and Sam wants to know, can you date someone if your annulment is denied. Patrick offers thought provoking answers and commentary to help listeners better understand the Catholic faith and what the Church teaches.

(3:30) Paul - My friend had twins who were born prematurely and got baptized but the priest didn't use the word 'you' when baptizing but the baby's name. Is it still valid?

(20:20) Marilyn - We prayed the rosary before Mass yesterday. We prayed the Sorrowful Mysteries on Sunday because of Lent but I had never heard of that. Is that a thing we should be doing?

 
(23:13) Email – Sam – If someone was married by the Church and was denied an annulment can they date someone?
