Summary
Patrick opens with a moving letter about a daughter's struggle with scrupulosity and the positive, faith-filled impact that Relevant Radio had on her life. He fields questions ranging from fasting rules and confession logistics for the elderly, to the story of Abraham and Isaac, and addresses misconceptions about sacred images with sharp biblical insight.
- Trish (email) - I heard in Father Rocky's Lenten lesson this morning that "men take off their hats" when entering the church. (00:40)
- Greg - I am an 80-year-old man and don't drive. How do I fulfill my obligations for Easter? (05:00)
- Eddie - I am confused about the fasting rules. (08:36)
- Jason - Why doesn't Abraham argue with God about sacrificing his son? (17:45)
- Dede - Thank you for your courage on playing our past Presidents audio on immigration. (23:25)
- Jean - My coworker is nondenominational and said that images of the Crucifix are an abomination. (27:28)
- Pat - In the Our Father, why do we say, 'but deliver us from evil?' (36:35)
- Richard - About why Abraham didn’t protest: I believe in those days other gods required sacrifice, so Abraham thought maybe God was like them. (42:47)

| 0:33.5 | Here's a beautiful note that came in from, I'm going to, I'm going to say Debbie, and Debbie's on the |
| 0:42.5 | East Coast, and I'll leave it at that, because if she's listening, she'll know that I'm reading |
| 0:47.6 | her letter, but I just want to give a little privacy. So she says, this note of appreciation is long |
| 0:52.5 | overdue. You've had a profound impact on my daughter's |
| 0:55.1 | life, and I would like you to know how. As she approached her senior year of high school, |
| 1:00.9 | my husband and I came to recognize that she was showing signs of scrupulosity. We had signed up |
| 1:06.6 | to attend the relevant radio breakout session that summer. Was that last summer? I think it was last summer, Cyrus, or was that the summer before? I'm lost in space. Boy, I don't know. I think it was last summer, wasn't it? I don't remember now. Was it 2024? It might have been. Times funny. I should remember that. So she said, we attended the Relevant Radio Breakout session at the Eucharistic Congress in |
| 1:30.8 | Indianapolis. All attendees were given the chance to submit questions for you to answer, |
| 1:35.9 | and I encourage my daughter to do so because our answers were just not enough for her. By God's |
| 1:40.6 | grace, she was selected to ask her question about scrupulosity during the presentation. |
| 1:45.7 | I'm going to press pause for a second. |
| 1:48.0 | Keep in mind this presentation, so Father Rocky spoke, Bishop Ricken of Green Bay spoke, |
| 1:57.1 | I think Drew spoke, and I know I spoke. |
| 2:00.0 | And we had 5,000 people in that room. It was a big room. |
| 2:04.2 | So talk about a breakout session. There were 5,000. And of course, we have a total number of people at the Eucharistic Congress in excess of 60,000 people, which is amazing. But I do remember that, Debbie, very well. So your daughter was one of the people who asked the question. |
