Summary

Patrick explores Eucharistic ministry procedures, relics, and the reality of suffering after loss while encouraging listeners to seek consolation in faith and small acts of kindness. Listeners hear about the value and challenges of aging, reflections on retirement, practical grief resources, and faith questions on biblical events and Catholic practices, all flowing through real calls and heartfelt advice.

Email - When an Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion has one or two extra consecrated hosts remaining after distribution (whether after Mass in the sacristy or from bringing Communion to a nursing home), must they be returned to the ciborium in the tabernacle, or may the EMHC reverently consume them? (00:38)
Daphne - I have a third-class relic touched to the bone of St. Philomena. When I die and if I'm a saint, will that become a 2nd or 3rd class relic? (03:24)
Camille (email) - I have a "lazy" retirement, and I donate lots of clothes
Alan - I work in a think tank for senior issues. I don't believe in retirement since you can die much younger if you aren't active. (09:26)
Audio: Pastor Charles Swindoll drive-through joke - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qn_4yeYFXs (17:31)
Jim – We lost our child a year ago and I’m looking for resources for my depression and anger (19:58)
Grant - I'm in his same diocese as Jim. The Catholic charities in Winona MN have the counseling that he is looking for. (29:10)
Paul (email) – Did the transubstantiation occur at the Last Supper? And if so, how, since he hadn’t yet gone through the Passion and resurrection yet? (31:06)
Arthur – Is Pilates okay for physical therapy and exercise? (34:52)
Jude - Matthew 2:19-22. Why is Joseph having conflicting dreams? (39:41)
Kade (12-years-old) - In the Old Testament, why does God seem sort of stand-offish? (42:51)
Cecilia - We also lost a child who was 23. We found a support group 'Compassionate Friends' which was a huge help. Crying is a healing process. (48:28)

0:20.0	One hour to go. They go quickly, that's for sure. So thank you all of you who are calling, and we'll be getting to more phone calls here in just a minute. Also, the emails that are coming in, thank you for those. Emails go to Patrick at RelevantRadio.com. Stephen sent me a note, says, I'm an extraordinary minister of Holy Communion.
0:38.3	I take communion to a nursing home.
0:40.3	Recently, I was training another Eucharistic minister.
0:43.3	We were in the sacristy after Mass, and I was attempting to explain to the new person
0:48.3	that we have more hosts than we need, and we need to bring them back to the church
0:53.3	to put them into the suborium.
0:55.7	Our priest was present, and he told the new extraordinary minister that he could consume the
1:02.2	extra Eucharist if there are only one or two extra hosts. I think I once heard you tell a caller
1:07.3	that in that situation, the Eucharist needs to be returned to the
1:11.7	suborium and to the tabernacle. Can you please give me a reply regarding the correct
1:15.7	procedure? Yes, happy to. So in this case, the pastor of the parish, the one who is there
1:22.8	in the room with you, he's the one who has the authority not only to delegate you to do this ministry,
1:29.6	but also to regulate this kind of question. So if is the pastor, he says, if you are giving
1:39.0	Holy Communion at the rest home, let's say, and you have one consecrated host left over or two
1:44.1	consecrated hosts left over or two consecrated
1:44.6	hosts left over, that you are to consume those hosts.
