Patrick tackles layered questions about the Mass, clarifying that each celebration draws believers into Christ’s original sacrifice at Calvary, never repeating it. Calls pour in about marriage, confession, and salvation; Patrick listens, guides, and responds with honesty and warmth, urging listeners to confront their histories and trust God’s mercy while offering unflinching advice on overcoming stumbling blocks.

• Eric (email) - Is the sacrifice that happens at each Mass distinct from Calvary and any other Mass (i.e. is Jesus sacrificed multiple times?) OR is the sacrifice of every Mass a participation in some mysterious way in the sacrifice of Calvary (i.e. Jesus was only sacrificed once and for all at Calvary)? (01:01)
• Kathy - I was married in the Lutheran Church and got divorced after 15 years. I got remarried and divorced again years later. Was I committing adultery the 2nd time? (07:01)
• Jim - If you are a Protestant, would you be welcome in heaven like Catholics are? Do Catholics get into heaven first? (17:18)
• Marty - What about the thief on the cross? How could Jesus have accepted him? (36:47)
