The Patrick Madrid Show: February 02, 2024 - Hour 3

We cover a lot of ground in this hour. I spoke to a woman grappling with her father's duty to a daughter he raised but who isn't biologically his. We talked about forgiveness, touching on stories as timeless as the prodigal son. I shared my views on abortion, emphasizing the importance of considering both lives involved. We heard from courageous callers about overcoming personal challenges and finding strength in chastity and purity. I helped a family navigate religious differences and the importance of raising their child in the Catholic faith. We cleared up some Catholic marital concerns, guiding them toward convalidation. I also offered support to those dealing with loved ones trapped in the cycle of addiction. Thanks for trusting me with your questions and for the journey we're on together here at The Patrick Madrid Show.
