The Patrick Madrid Show: October 05, 2026 - Hour 1

Patrick opens the hour with listener calls touching on Marian devotion as a path to knowing Jesus, the balance between faith and superstition in Catholic customs like burying St. Joseph statues, and the nuances surrounding prayer and sacramentals. Tall questions surface: Does Jesus share Joseph’s DNA? How do biblical passages frame marriage and lifelong singleness, especially against today’s shifting relationship norms? Personal stories of goodbyes, scriptural tangles, and unexpected house-selling miracles thread through a conversation brimming with candid curiosity and moments of heartfelt gratitude.

• Nick - My spiritual director asked me how Mary brought me closer to Jesus? Can you help me answer this? (01:25)
• Molly - I have heard someone say that Jesus had Joseph's DNA as well. I am wondering how is that possible? (09:40)
• Andrea (email) – Is burying a St. Joesph Statue for the purpose of selling a house superstition? (17:12)
• Doug - Advice for saying goodbye for the last time to somebody on hospice. (28:45)
• Karolee - Todays readings on 'some are incapable of marriage’. What types of people are born incapable of marriage, and why did God make that way? (39:48)
• Mary - St. Joseph statue: we sold our house 3 yrs ago. I did not bury the statue but I did buy it. We also did a novena. By St. Joseph's day, we got an offer. (49:17)
