The Patrick Madrid Show

Patrick has an insightful conversation about the power of prayer and the theological significance of offering the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus in our prayers. He also touches upon the human connection with our beloved pets and the comfort found in praying for their well-being.   Email – I’m divorced, remarried, but my first marriage is not annulled. Can I still attend Mass if I don’t take communion? (00:30) Maryanne - I used to be a Protestant and I noticed that most Protestant Churches were more into the personal relationship with Jesus. The Catholic Church hasn't emphasized it as much on a local level. I think the Catholic Church could do better in this. (08:24) Rich - The Devine Mercy Chaplet says we offer divinity, but how do we offer the Divinity of Christ? (18:57) John – When I ask Siri how many books in the bible, she says 66. Richard – Your show is hateful (35:45) Aiden - I am struggling in my marriage with my wife. I was unfaithful with her. Recently I got a DUI and God showed me everything I was doing wrong with my marriage. She is now closed off to me. What should I do? (42:11)

Hillary shares her moving experience at the Eucharistic Congress and how she’s leaning on her Catholic faith after a family tragedy. Patrick outlines vital parts of the Catechism that bring solace and hope for those dealing with suicide. Remember, even in our darkest moments, God's mercy and love are always within reach.   Rose (email) – Why don’t you ever say couples not married should live in separate homes? (00:22) Hilary - When we left the congress we found out that my husband’s sister had taken her life. We wanted folks to pray for her. It was such a grace filled moment at the congress which has helped us get through this. (03:57) Juan - I blame the Church for all of the problems in the USA. Is that right for me to do? (14:14) Mary Ann - My cousin is Protestant and doesn’t think Mary can be an intercessor. How do I talk about this with her? (19:51) Carmela - My son became a “Born Again” Christian and is trying to tell me what I can and cannot do when I pray. What should I do? (29:01) Joyce - My friend doesn't believe in the trinity, and says the rapture is not in the bible. What do I do? (32:25) Steve - Patrick talked about some good movies recently. Some movies to add to the favorite movies list: The Maldonado Miracle and Second Hand Lions. (41:32) Paul – Why do we give a general confession and bring up old sins? (45:34)

(40:27) Weldon - There were issues with the flights while leaving the Eucharistic Congress so I didn't make it to Mass on Sunday. Was it a mortal sin since I didn't try to miss Mass?

(05:31) Paul – Hope was restored in me (09:51) Fr. Rocky and Patrick reflect on their experiences at the National Eucharistic Congress (17:24) Mary - I felt like I was given a rose bud at the NEC to take home.

With over 60,000 attendees filled with devotion and unity, the stories and reflections are truly heartwarming. He shares personal insights, addresses skeptics, and discusses the importance of the Eucharist in deepening our faith.   Jodi - How do I refute Protestant ideas about the Eucharist only being a symbol? Is it a good argument to say that Jesus was being literal because when he was with his disciples he spoke plainly to them? (08:29) Brent - I ran my first marathon last year, and hurt myself. I prayed for healing at a healing Mass at the NEC and the pain in my feet went away which allowed me to do the rest of the congress. I wanted to run another Marathon and ended up walking the same distance during the Congress. It was a God moment for me. (17:38) Christina - Even traveling with 2 young kids, I was still able to have a great experience even though there were challenges.
