Summary
Patrick explains that spiritual communion is a heartfelt prayer inviting Jesus into our souls, especially when receiving Holy Communion isn't possible. Unlike regular communion, there are no rules or fasting requirements—only a sincere desire to unite with Christ. He also highlights the Relevant Radio app as a valuable resource for these prayers. So, whether at home or on the go, spiritual communion can be made anytime, anywhere.

| 1:07.8 | Hello. Hi, Patrick. Patrick, I just wanted to ask you for a, you know, a Catholic person, a Catholic man, and, you know, he's married and then he loses his wife, can he join the seminary and become a priest? I mean, I heard of this thing in Canada, and I was just a little bit perplexed here. So I thought I'd I'd asked the question, but I never heard it before. |
| 1:29.3 | Yeah, so that's true. |

| 1:56.6 | I don't know how often it happens much anymore, but I have known some men who, after their wives |
| 2:00.9 | have died, have gone on to become priests. |
| 2:03.7 | So, yes, that is a door that they could go through if they're accepted. |
| 2:08.4 | Okay. |
| 2:09.3 | All right. |
| 2:10.1 | Does that perplex you or bother you? |
