Summary
Patrick opens with a listener’s raw question about whether animals have souls and a place in heaven, reflecting on classic Catholic teaching and insights from Aquinas and Augustine. He answers calls about resurrected bodies, incense at Mass, saging offices, and the spiritual usefulness of suffering, weaving stories, doctrine, and real-life doubts together in unexpected ways. Ordinary faith and grief come face-to-face with theology, ritual, and the curious details of daily life.
- Kathryn (email) - Do animals have souls? (01:36)
- Greg - Why are our physical bodies necessary after we die? (20:57)
- Faith - Eileen George was taken up into heaven and Jesus showed her the pony she had as a child. There are animals in heaven. (28:50)
- Claire (email) - Thank you for all you do, for your compassion, empathy and your sincerity when responding to Shelly (during yesterday’s show). (31:23)
- Aimee (email) - At times I even find myself associating suffering with holiness in a way that makes me question if I’m missing something spiritually. (33:18)
- Teresa (email) – My boss is using sage in our shared workspace (38:31)
- David (email) - Would it be better to not attend daily mass at all than to arrive to mass late or leave right after communion? (44:05)
- Todd - I own multiple spas and we burn sage, but we don't burn them for occult reasons. We use it for aroma. (48:23)
