Patrick opens the show by unpacking questions about corporal mortification, guilt, and penance, offering clear spiritual direction grounded in Scripture and tradition. He fields calls that spiral into questions of existence, the nature of life as a gift, scandal in the Church, the reality of temptation, and the anxious math of salvation, always returning to the mercy and providence of God. Honest, layered exchanges ripple through every segment as Patrick tackles faith’s thorniest dilemmas with warmth, candor, and sharp theological insight.

 
Ryan (email) - Is physical self-chastisement (corporal mortification) as a form of penance still acceptable if kept private and moderate? (01:39)
Sandra - God gives us life but knows if we will choose him or not. Why would he allow us to be born if we choose damnation? Is it a gift to be born? (12:50)
Justin – Trump is too aggressive with ICE and immigration. Also, why would God lead us into temptation? (20:42)
Marco - Do laicized priests have a path to reconciliation so that they can become priests again? (28:39)
Todd - I think this gentleman doesn’t know if the priest has repented of his sins or not. How can we know? We all sin. I think we shouldn’t say we feel scandalized. (38:58)
Mark - When we look at sports, the winner is the one that scores the most points. It seems more people will be in Hell than Heaven. This is problematic for me. Can you help me? (41:54)

Patrick guides listeners through pressing questions about salvation, family tensions around communion, and the difficulties of annulments and returning to the Church after years away, offering both scripture and practical steps. Stories of animal psychics and children with unusual experiences stir up caution and straightforward honesty, as Patrick encourages seeking grace and clarity through faith rather than occult distractions. The hour surges with moments of hope and frank conversation, stirred by phone calls and shaped by solidarity with those marching for life.

Patrick welcomes listeners on a March for Life broadcast, exploring pro-life action, Communion questions, and the Catholic approach to marriage, often through real caller situations. He moves from scriptural analysis—like the temptation of Jesus and “only God is good”—to conversations on the effects of birth control and spiritual experiences in modern life. Support, clarity, and a touch of candor shape every moment, with Patrick encouraging authentic faith at every turn.

 
Lyn (email) - Regarding your conversation with Marco and the de-frocked priest - I was a little surprised that you didn’t caution him not to read on the Internet about his friend. (01:09)
Dusty - Can my Catholic wife take the Eucharist if I am not Catholic? Also, a question Matthew 5. (03:21)
John - How many babies does birth control kill per year and home many times does it fail? (11:27)
Barbara - I have been a Eucharistic Minister for years and I am considering receiving on the tongue. Should I step down from being a Eucharistic Minister because I don't want to touch the host? (19:14)
Paul - Why did Jesus say, 'why do you call me good, only God is good?’ (27:17)
Mary - My young daughter said she saw the ghost of my sister. I called a priest and he came to bless our house. All of it stopped. The Devil tempts us with familiar spirits. (32:53)
Patrick in Monterey, CA - There has been a lot of talk on this show about receiving Communion. What about St. Cyril of Jerusalem's guidance? (36:52)
George – Was the prostitute, Rahab, in the line of Jesus? (42:44)
Esmeralda - I received the Eucharist in the hand after the pandemic. I am scared to receive on the mouth because it fell out. What can I do? (44:31)
