Summary
Patrick explores the rich nuances of Eucharistic prayer, the significance of prayers for those in purgatory, and answers engaging listener questions about the roles of deacons and the concept of forgiveness and purification in Christianity. Patrick also hears an inspiring testimony from a listener touched by grace, who now leads a life dedicated to charity. Join Patrick for these insightful conversations meant to enlighten and guide through the complexities of religious belief and practice.
- Sue - My sister joined the Messianic Jews and is telling me that Constantine set the date for Christmas. Is that true? (01:06)
- Nora - Jesus told Saint Faustina to ask anything of the Father and He will grant it to you. If I ask for the conversion of someone, do I have assurance that it will happen? (05:15)
- Annette – What does it mean when the priest pointed his index finger and middle finger at my eyes before giving me the Eucharist.
- Anna - I accepted a job but it wasn't right for me so I quit, and now am feeling down. Are there any bible verses that can help me through this time? (21:11)
- Charlynne - During the intersessions, what is the difference between “those who have fallen asleep in the hope of the resurrection” and others who are mentioned who are dead? (28:33)
- Mary - Can you clarify why deacons can bless holy items like priests can? (32:15)
- Nancy - Many Protestants don't believe in Purgatory. Where in the protestant bible does it talk about getting purified? (38:33)
- Myritis - I am a convert to the Catholic Faith. When I was 15-years-old, I was praying for Catholics to be saved, but when I was 19 I came into the Catholic Church through Mary. The Catholic Church is the true Church.
- Keith - If someone commits adultery and goes to confession, does that mean the sin is completely forgiven? (45:05)

| 0:00.0 | Talk Radio for Catholic Life. Powered by you. Listener supported. Welcome to the Relevant Radio Spring Pledge Drive. Give Hope. All right, longer. Let's do it. Indeed, sir. Let's begin in prayer. Today is the second day of Pledge Drive, so we're asking our lady to pray with us and for us that we can make our pledge goal by the end of the week in the name of the father and of the son of the Holy Spirit, amen. Remember, oh, most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection implored thy help or sought thy intercession was left in aided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly into thee, O Virgin of Virgins of My mother, to thee do I come before thee I stand, simple and sorrowful. O mother of the word incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy, hear and answer me, amen. In the name of the Father and of the Son of the Holy Spirit, amen. So as I've been saying, this is a regular program, even though we're in Pledge Drive, you can still call and be on the air. |

| 1:05.8 | Let's go first to Sue, waiting patiently in Chanhassen, Minnesota. |
| 1:10.1 | Good morning, Sue. |
| 1:12.6 | Good morning, Patrick. |
| 1:30.2 | Yes. What's on your mind today? My sister is a Christian. We were raised Catholic, and she wanted to learn Hebrew. So she, it was being offered at the Messianic Synagogue, which she decided to go to, to learn the Hebrew. And instead, now she's become a member of the Messianic Synagogue |
| 1:36.9 | where, I mean, she's studying scripture and they believe in Christ as a Messiah and everything. But, |
| 1:43.4 | but the stuff that they tell her, like, this is the thing that really gets me. |
| 1:47.7 | We don't know the date for Christmas. |
| 1:49.1 | We know the date for Christmas. |
| 1:51.0 | Constantine set the date for Christmas, but we really know the date for Christmas. |
| 1:56.2 | And I'm like, what nonsense is that? |
| 1:59.2 | I've never found anything where Constantine set the date for Christmas ever. |
| 2:03.8 | I've checked history books and it's not there. |
| 2:06.2 | Yeah. |
| 2:07.0 | The Internet says so, though. |
| 2:08.6 | Well, this is one of those examples of people who are low information when it comes to history, |
| 2:14.1 | or they've bitten down on some little piece of distorted history, and they've |
| 2:19.4 | built this whole thing out of it. We can say with a very high degree of accuracy today that |
| 2:26.7 | it seems very, very, very likely that the Lord indeed was born on December 25th. And there are a variety |
| 2:32.7 | of calculations, and you have to look at the |
