Summary
Patrick answers questions about God’s nature, reincarnation, traditional Catholic practices, and whether worry counts as sin, offering clear explanations and practical advice.
- Thaddeus (email) - Father Rocky said that Thomas Aquinas said that God can't change his mind, but aren't there examples in the Bible where he did in fact change his mind, especially in terms of not giving punishments which he had initially planned to execute? 00:52)
- Michael – A 5-year-old boy from India said he was reincarnated. Is that something that can happen? (11:41)
- Auggie (email) - If we say that God can’t change his mind, doesn't that mean that he is limited (which we know he isn't)? Wouldn't it be more correct to say that God can change his mind, he has the ability, he can do anything, but he doesn’t change his mind? (19:55)
- Leroy - Is it a sin to worry? (24:26)
- Maria - Can you just start wearing the brown Scapular or do I need permission from a priest? (27:38)
- Efrank - Is it possible on Ash Wednesday to substitute small meals for one large meal? Also, can you substitute fish for meat? (29:28)
- Doug - I once saw a video that talked about the 4th dimension that helps answer my daughters when they ask a question about God that I can't answer. (32:33)
- Patrick shares an email and comments on worrying (37:06)

| 0:38.8 | Okay. I see where we're going now. Hey, good morning. Patrick Madrid here. Thank you for listening. My number is 888-914-9149-8-8-188-1-4-9149-49. Call that number. We have space available at the moment. Also, I'd love to get your email, |
| 0:46.2 | send it to Patrick at Relevantradio.com. Here's one. This comes from Thaddeus, and he's listening on the Relevant Radio app, and he says, Father Rocky said that Thomas Aquinas said that God |
| 0:51.8 | can't change his mind. But aren't there examples in the Bible where he did, in fact, change his mind, especially in terms of not giving punishments which he had initially planned to execute? Very good question. Father Rocky is correct, as is St. Thomas Aquinas before him, insofar as, I mean, he's correct. I'll just put a period there. To explain why this is |
| 1:13.6 | correct, and then I'll tackle the seeming contradiction that you're raising here, is because God by |
| 1:19.4 | nature, by his nature, is what the theologians and philosophers refer to as pure act. Now, follow me on this one. |
| 1:28.1 | This is important, and if we can understand this part, everything else will fall into |
| 1:32.4 | place. |
| 1:34.6 | All of everything that is not God, in other words, all creatures, whether it's an inanimate |
| 1:41.8 | creature like the universe or all the things in the universe, |
| 1:47.3 | planets, etc. |
| 1:48.8 | Or animate beings like animals or insects or birds or people, human beings. |
| 1:55.3 | This would also include pure spirits, we know as angels. |
| 2:00.0 | All of us, every single thing that is not God has what's called |
| 2:05.7 | potency, which means it can change, and things are constantly changing. Things that are in time and |
| 2:13.3 | space are getting older. Things that are in time and space can break. They come into existence. |
| 2:19.3 | They go out of existence in the case of an inanimate thing. Human beings come into existence |
