Summary
Patrick tackles the question of why we pray if God is all knowing, discusses the unchanging nature of God, talks about the final judgement and how it differs from when we die and answers whether you can have a valid marriage with out consummation.
- Roy - If God has no past or future. Why do we need to pray if God already knows what is going to happen? I just let go and let God.
- Nick - God's unchanging nature: we believe that God is unchanging, how, then, did God take on a human nature?
- Trip - I'm reading the Great Divorce. When people get to purgatory, they're having trouble letting go of things. Patrick, what do you think purgatory will be like?
- Email from Gwen – are people’s sins who have been confessed shown at the final judgment?
- Mark - I'm a lector - it said that God made Pharaoh obstinate. Did he have a free will?
- Michael - If a Catholic marries a non-Catholic outside the Church do they need an annulment?
- Cassandra - Me and my partner - We're going to Church, but he likes to hang out with his old friends. His friends don't have the same respect for family life. How do I handle this situation?
- Mary - I've been married for 30 years and have never consummated our marriage. Is it sinful to not consummate the marriage?

| 0:20.1 | Here's our two. |
| 0:21.1 | The number again, 888-914-9-19-49. |
| 0:25.6 | 888-9149. |
| 0:28.0 | We do have space available, so you probably are not going to get a busy signal right now if you call. |
| 0:33.4 | That's good. |
| 0:34.0 | Let's go to Roy in Madison, Wisconsin. |
| 0:36.1 | Hi, Roy. |
| 0:38.4 | Hello. How are you, Patrick? I'm doing well, thank you. Good, thank you. |
| 0:44.4 | Say, I had a question. In the earlier segment, you were talking about with someone about how |
| 0:50.0 | God knows, God is not in future or past. God's time is right now. He doesn't have future past |
| 0:58.1 | because he doesn't die or born like we are. Right. And he knows everything. Okay. My question, |
| 1:03.6 | then immediately I come to mind was like, well, if that's the case, then why do I need to pray |
| 1:09.8 | to him to help my sickness or to help my |
| 1:13.6 | brothers or sisters in purgatory or to help the planet to heal? Anything. I mean, because |
| 1:20.0 | he knows, and it's going to happen, so he knows I'm going to pray, and he knows the answer |
| 1:25.5 | a little bit of prayer. Yeah. You know what I'm saying? So do. I'm curious. Yeah, because for us, from our vantage point, it seems fatalistic or pre-programmed. Like there's no point. Yeah. If God already knows everything, then what's the point? And I understand, and I can understand it because I can see that. I see the same dilemma that you're asking about. |
| 1:46.3 | But let's step outside of our human limitations, because as I was saying earlier, we experienced |
| 1:52.0 | time as a procession of moments, you know, now, now, now, now. |
