Patrick welcomes listeners on a Taco Tuesday and shares an email about ghosts, blending his own eerie family experiences with Catholic teaching and biblical stories to consider what these encounters could mean. After responding to a caller about the tension between eucharistic processions and caring for the poor, he addresses questions on vaccines linked to fetal cells, clarifies Church guidance during COVID, and offers compassionate advice for parents facing challenging family situations. Quick-witted, honest, and rooted in faith, Patrick jumps from supernatural chills to ethical dilemmas, always inviting listeners to think and reflect in unexpected ways.
- Debra (email) - Do spirits and other supernatural beings "walk" the earth around us? (01:01)
- Patrick and Cyrus share ghost stories (07:32)
- Jude - There was a Eucharistic procession that came through my town and by our homeless shelter. It seemed the Catholic community in the procession were more focused on the procession rather than the homeless. Is it wrong to have an imbalance of charity to the poor and reverence to the Eucharist? (20:43)
- Jane (email) – I’m confused about the churches stance on abortion but promotes vaccines (26:09)
- Robert (email) - My oldest daughter text me this morning, going on and on about the ICE situation and Trump this and Trump that. Please, is there a book, article, or Bible verses you could suggest for me to pass on to her? (30:19)
- Ana (email) - As I meditate on The Holy Spirit descending in Pentecost, I can’t help thinking, how was this event different for The Virgin Mary? She had Jesus in her womb, The Holy Spirit over shadow her to give life to Jesus in her. Why did Mary need more of The Holy Spirit? (36:09)
- Becky (email) - My unwed daughter is pregnant and living with the baby's father. I have been invited to a baby shower for her. I am concerned about giving the appearance to my daughter and other shower attendees that I approve of my daughter’s sinful choices. (49:34)
