The Patrick Madrid Show: June 13, 2025 - Hour 1

Patrick fields heartfelt questions from listeners grappling with the raw realities of faith, dementia, and family, offering concrete guidance for a daughter taking her father to confession as memory slips away. He addresses the anxiety of forgotten penances and clarifies Church teachings on confession, the universality of the Ten Commandments, and the ethics of end-of-life care—all with tangible resources, biblical perspective, and a sense of calm authority. Listeners witness Patrick’s steady, compassionate presence as he dispenses practical answers and gentle humor to those carrying burdens both spiritual and deeply personal.
