Summary
Patrick opens the hour with prayer, launching day three of the pledge drive and inviting everyone to come together for a common $3 million goal. He fields raw, honest listener questions about Mass language, Eucharistic practices, temptation, and raising teens in the faith, blending stories, Catholic teaching, and even a listener’s homegrown song. Unscripted moments, laughter, and global gratitude tumble through the conversation as Patrick balances spiritual answers with urgent real-time fundraising.
- Christine (email) - Does the church clean the cloth that is used to wipe the rim of the chalice in a special way if there is wine on it? (01:37)
- Paul (email) - Can the ordinary Mass be in English and Latin? Why can't the Mass be celebrated this way? ((04:11)
- Saul (email) – Why does God allow people to controlled by their lust? (05:19)
- Yollie - Is praying in tongues from the Holy Spirit? I thought people were doing this but aren’t you supposed to understand what they are saying? (14:32)
- Email - My fiancée (19F) and I (22M) were married in a civil ceremony performed by a ‘minister’ ordained under Universal Life Church that obviously lacked canonical form in a complicated affair that was the result of a lot of very difficult circumstances. This not-very-legitimate marriage was legally annulled after 65 days, as we both were not prepared for the reality of legal marriage. She is and was Catholic, I am in OCIA. It is my understanding that when a marriage is performed without proper form, the Catholic Church says no marriage occurred, and so we both should be free to move forward with matrimony in the Church. Do we need to mention our previously annulled marriage to move forward, or is it considered non-existent and therefore irrelevant to the discussion? (28:16)
- Kelly (email) - I have a freshman daughter at a Catholic high school, and I recently learned that her sports team had a sleepover where alcohol and edibles (marijuana) were present and consumed. Should I let the coach know?
- Jim (email) - Letter from management – Keep Going! (41:33)
- Madeline (email) - Today's reading from Acts 17 says, "The God who made the world and all that is in it, the Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in sanctuaries made by human hands." This sounds to me like Jesus isn't present in the Tabernacle! What am I missing here? (42:45)
- Barbara - My elderly mother brought the Eucharist home from Church. What should I do? (47:14)

| 1:38.6 | I was explaining to my Protestant brother-in-law that the Catholic Church teaches you don't need to receive under both kinds bread and wine because all of Jesus is present in either or both and you're right about that |
| 1:52.4 | so the answer is the church does indeed clean these cloths the one that is commonly used on the altar that the chalice sits on and the |
