Summary
Moving from news to heartfelt emails, Patrick shares no-nonsense advice for Catholics pursuing marriage in a hookup culture, recommending practical faith resources and candid stories rather than clichés. He throws in a sharp wake-up call about how digital habits erode lives, contrasting excessive screen hours with the value of one hour at Mass, pushing listeners to reassess where their attention truly goes.

- Matt (email) - St Therese of Lisieux's parents apparently met after answering a wanted ad in the local newspaper that St. Louis Martin had placed, the1700's version of an online dating app (this is later retracted in hour 2).
- Myla (email) - My husband had multiple previous marriages, and he always get stumped when trying to apply for an annulment. Our parish priest wants proof of that death but when my husband called the state where his ex-wife lived, they wouldn’t release the death certificate to him because he was already divorced many years ago. How do we go about with that? (26:44)

| 0:21.6 | Thank you for tuning in today. |
| 0:23.6 | And a shout out to all of the 17,000 plus people who are still, I guess today is the last day |

| 0:35.6 | Sikh conferences every year. And so this particular group in question |
