Patrick answers questions about faith, mercy, Catholic traditions, and parish life, while pausing to celebrate generous donor milestones and highlight thank-you gifts like the anniversary blanket. He tackles subjects ranging from the value of late-life conversion to whether babies in the womb have guardian angels, even offering book recommendations and advice for adapting to priests with language barriers. Mary Graham joins Patrick to energize the pledge drive, urging support that keeps Catholic programming strong.
- Kathryn (email) - Those who recognize God's grace and say yes to God experience a unique sense of comfort and certainty while they toil on earth. (01:25)
- Clarissa (email) - I was thinking of switching Catholic Churches. We've been members of one Parish for over 30 years. However, I feel drawn to a Church that offers a daily Latin Mass and a weekend Latin Mass on Sundays. I feel bad leaving our Church where we are established members. (05:52)
- Lupita (email) - Do babies in the womb have a guardian angel? (14:33)
- Roxanne (email) – All masses are healing masses
- Amy (email) - I listened to Drew’s talk on adoration and it reminded me (and inspired me) to spend more time in adoration. Should the Eucharist be exposed or locked in the tabernacle? (28:36)
- Jack (email) – What I have great difficulty understanding, as a faithful Catholic, is why an all-powerful, omniscient, and all loving Father would will into, and sustain, existence for a wretch who is "better if he had never been born" and known by God before they exist to be condemned forever to the painful and lonely alienation from God. (31:32)
- Robert (email) - How did Moses and Elijah appear at the transfiguration when the gates of heaven did not open till after the resurrection? (43:27)
- Jean (email) – Our new priest doesn’t speak very good English. I’ve been sad not being able to grasp the message he is delivering and wondering if it wouldn’t be possible to have his homily as a handout or even projected on the screens? (45:31)
