Deacon Tony - Regarding Vocations: In the deaconate the primary vocation is marriage and the deaconate should not distract from that, but rather it is another calling from God which we have discerned. Patrick shares an email from a young woman who found out that the man she’s interested in is already married and she asks for his advice on what to do next Rod - Matthew 28:8 and Luke 24:9. The stories of the woman at the tomb is different. Why is there a discrepancy? Yvonne - My sons are not married and they are in their 30s. What can they do to find a spouse?

Patrick opens the show revisiting a topic from yesterday about a young woman who asked if it would be a sin to travel and stay in the same hotel room but sleep in different beds. Patrick strongly advised against it. He shares and responds to many of the emails that came in overnight disagreeing with him and some affirming he was correct in his assessment Mark - Men and women think differently when it comes to temptation which I think should be considered.

Patrick answers listener questions about receiving communion on the tongue, what to do when you see non-Catholic’s taking communion, is it okay to believe in aliens, and why doesn’t the Gospel of John refer to the transfiguration? Jessie - I befriended a homeless person who is mental ill but has a lot of money. What can I do for him? John - The Eucharistic minister would not give me Jesus on the tongue. I also heard something about diminishing the Eucharist to break down the Catholic Church, do you know where that reference would have been from? Normand - 1 Cor 11: 27-29.
