Summary
Between stories of reverence, spiritual authority in blended families, and listener reflections on loss, Patrick punctuates the hour with candid advice, cultural commentary, humor (and even touches on his favorite Beatle), all while encouraging humility and compassion in faith practice. Unexpected questions, honest answers, and lively moments keep everything in motion.
- Joseph – I like to walk up on my knees when I go to receive the Eucharist. My priest says this is a distraction and turns me away. Is there anything I can do? (01:28)
- Tina - Is it ok to ingest Holy Water? (09:04)
- Lupe – A priest also denied me communion, because I went up on me knees. I couldn't believe that the priest wouldn't let me receive. It broke me in pieces. People shouldn't pass judgment. (11:20)
- Rhonda – Who is your favorite Beatles? (19:25)
- John - At adoration, I also see people who go up and down the aisle on their knees. This is distracting to me. (23:41)
- Mark - Do I have spiritual authority over my stepchildren? (30:24)
- Fiona (email) - It seems that there's a bit of confusion about whether some of these people were talking about approaching the place to get communion by crawling on their knees only or just kneeling down to receive communion. (39:46)
- Steve (email) - This unfortunate trend of some bishops and priests denying communion to the faithful who kneel is demonic influence, plain and simple. (41:22)
- Kelly (email) - Just the flip side to reverence receiving communion: What about the priest who denies these holy reverent parishioners, yet gives to those who are completely irreverent (dressed inappropriately, etc.)? (44:45)
- Nancy (email) - My priest said, about walking up on your knees, "I would probably do nothing unless they were causing people to trip or creating a sensation."
