Kade (10-years-old) - Is it true that God will never give you anything you can't handle? (07:18)

Patrick welcomes a brand new year by sharing heartwarming updates about his family, including the growing number of grandchildren. He fields real-life listener questions about Catholic teaching on end-of-life decisions, prayer practices even in the midst of mortal sin, and the challenge of keeping interfaith friendships respectful without watering down the faith. Books, practical steps for spiritual growth, the meaning behind Marian prayers, and honest encouragement flow easily, blending candid wisdom with Patrick’s signature warmth.

 
Jeffrey (email) – We have a family member on life support. What is the Catholic Church’s teaching on end-of-life support? (04:45)
Frank - I have 20 grandchildren, and 39 great grandchildren. (14:28)
Javier – Is the efficacy of the sacraments dependent on the state of grace of the receiver? (17:36)
John Andrew – I have a protestant friend that I argue with religion about. Is there a way to keep them as friends? (27:04)
Danny – Why are there differences between the Hail Holy Queen prayer and what Jesus said about “I am the Truth, the way and the light”. (38:59)
Pat – I want to vent about people rushing through the prayers when saying the Rosary. How can we intentionally pray the rosary and other vocal prayers? (42:32)
Caroline – Do you have a suggestion for a good chronological Bible? (42:32)

Patrick guides listeners through questions about returning to the Catholic Church, healing from addiction, and navigating confession after years away. He shares practical, sometimes unexpected advice—like tossing out smartphones to resist temptation—while weaving spontaneous memories of MTV and music videos into the conversation. Callers bring vulnerability, and Patrick meets them with gentle candor, shifting seamlessly from spiritual challenges to lighthearted cultural moments.

 
Jake (email) – What would it take to come home? (00:58)
Joe - I'm a recovery alcoholic; I am in the process of starting a local chapter within Catholics in Recovery. Can you share a little bit about this program? (12:40)
Noel - I have been struggling for a while with the sin of lust. How can I overcome it and deepen my relationship with God? (17:53)
Dan - Can you please share more information about Bishop Clemente? I have done my research about him, but I couldn't find more. (30:54)

Patrick opens the year with spirited banter and candid exchanges, guiding listeners through faith questions on baptism, confession, and Protestant-Catholic differences, while drawing from scripture and tradition. He chats with callers wrestling with addiction and moral challenges, supporting them with clear Catholic teaching and reflecting on personal stories, prayer, and the rosary’s transformative effects. The episode weaves together heartfelt testimonies, practical advice, and even a splash of music trivia.

 
Patrick continues his conversation with Mark from the end of the last hour who is asking what are the differences between Catholics and Christians? (00:32)
Niki - You gave me advice last year and I am happy to share that my family is coming into the Church! (15:30)
Jason – I have been able to stop my porn addiction. It helps to identify the triggers that cause the temptation and try to fill the time with something else. (22:56)
Sharon - I am in a 12-step program, and I work on replacing something bad with something good. Whenever I feel tempted, I go to Adoration. (32:28)
JD - About watching porn, one of the things that helped me immensely was praying the Rosary. Praying to your guardian angel to eliminate those images from your memory also helps. (37:00)
Yvonne - My family prays a novena. Should pray for the same thing as I did for last year, or pray for something else this year since God already knows about my other intentions? (39:34)
Rose - Is it wrong for parents to circumcise their infants. Also, I know IVF is immoral, but is it moral to adopt embryos? (43:45)
