Summary
Welcome to The Patrick Madrid Show, where today he dives deep into the complexities of mixed marriages—a Catholic marrying outside the faith—and how the Apostolic Letter “Matrimonia Mixta” guides such unions. Patrick explores the importance of understanding and mutual respect, as well as the unique challenges these couples face. He tackles the often sensitive topic of emotional pain, sharing personal stories and emphasizing growth over temporary fixes like medication. Listeners receive practical advice, from accessing the Bible in audio for the visually impaired to discernment about educational choices for Catholic families. Plus, he doesn't shy away from discussing Jesus' example of love yet intolerance for sin.

| 0:28.4 | Hi there. |
| 0:29.7 | This is Patrick Madrid. |
| 0:30.8 | Nice to meet you. |
| 0:34.3 | I have a radio program and I'd like you to check it out. |
| 0:36.4 | All you have to do is sit right there and listen. |
| 0:42.6 | And if you want to call and be on the air, call this number. 888-914-9149. |

| 0:57.4 | Same question. |

| 1:05.9 | He says, since today is the feast of the presentation of our Lord, is the rule to abstain for meat. |
| 1:06.9 | Is that not enforced today? |
| 1:09.0 | Well, that would depend on the diocese you live in. |

| 1:21.1 | A good rule of thumb is that the church prescribes the abstention for meat on all Fridays throughout the year, |

| 1:42.2 | but the church strongly encourages all Catholics to abstain |
| 1:46.9 | for meat on all Fridays throughout the year. So that's the first part of the answer. In Lent, |
