Listener-supported Catholic Talk Radio. Talk that brings Christ to the world. Welcome to the relevant radio winner Pledge Drive. Give hope.

Well, good morning. This is the Patrick Madrid show, and you're wondering, well, you don't quite sound like Patrick. No, this is Mary Graham. I'm working with him today as we have Pledge Drive going on today. And today is a big day. It's halfway through. But Patrick's having a little bit of technical difficulties with his equipment. So they're working on that here in the background, trying to get him on. In the meantime, I'm going to let you know where we're at here with Pledge Drive today. We are halfway through. Today is the halfway point of our Pledge Drive. And we are sitting at right now, it looks like I kind of lost my number here, 30, 39 percent. So just under 40 percent of where we need to be. So we've got a ways to go. We need three million dollars by the end of the day on Friday. And you're going to, you might be asking yourself, well, how do we do that real easy? We do that with your help. So if you're listening right now and you have not helped or given at all during this Pledge Drive, now's the time to give. Maybe you're ready to give a second gift. We've got some great reasons to do that. You can give now at relevant radio.com. You can tap the app or you can call 877291-0123.

That's 877-291-0-123.

And on that note, I hear Patrick is back.

So welcome Patrick to the Patrick Madrid show.

Indeed, Mary.

Glad to have you on the air.

Thank you.

Thank you.

What's your question for the day?

How can I give money to Relevant Radio? 877-291-0-1-2-3. All right. Well, let's see. Now, I was about to read the memorari or pray the memorari prayer. I missed it whether or not you did that already I missed it I blew it all right here we go the father and of the son of the holy spirit amen

remember almost gracious virgin Mary that never wasn't known that anyone who fled to thy protection

implored thy help or sought thine intercession was left unaided inspired by this confidence I confidence, I fly into thee, O version of virgins, my mother, to thee, do I come before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O mother of the word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me, amen. In the name of the Father and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen. And of course, when we pray the memorary

at the beginning of each hour of Pledge Strive, of course you can pray at any time you'd like,

but when we prayed at the beginning, we're also praying in addition for our own need here at Relevant

Radio. We're praying for your needs as well, your family, your health, your job, whatever the

situation might be, we keep you in our prayers as well.

We have a regular show in store for you, and you can participate by calling me at that number

888-914-9149-49. And emails, if you'd send those to me, I read them all, look forward to

seeing them all, and my address there is Patrick at Relevantradio.com.

We have an amazing story I want to start off with.

You might have been seeing it around social media last night.
