The Patrick Madrid Show: March 11, 2024 - Hour 3

Today's episode was a powerful journey of struggle, hope, and seeking guidance. We heard from listeners grappling with marital issues, from infidelity to the impact of criminal behavior, and the challenging path towards possible annulment. We also navigated the sensitivity of childhood trauma, reinforcing the importance of support and counseling. Together with the callers, we explored God's merciful stance on redemption and forgiveness, despite the trials of life. Jen – When I get to the Our Father, I pause because I feel like I haven't been fully forgiven. (00:37) Ruby - I am having trouble forgiving my soon to be ex-husband. I pray for him, but when I see him at church I still find that I am angry with him. (20:24) Anthony - I belong to a parish for 9 years but I have been drifting to a different one. Am I obligated to stay at my old parish? (34:12) Nancy (email) – I might be the pastor at the Joseph’s church (Patrick shared Joseph’s email in the 2nd hour) (37:08) Peter - Can you suggest some books for our 9-year-old grandson about baptism and the church? (40:12) Pat - Is there a newer edition of the Catechism out? Margaret – Why was God so strict in the Old Testament but not the New Testament?
