The Patrick Madrid Show: April 09, 2025 - Hour 2

Patrick has a heartfelt chat on how to lovingly support LGBTQ family members while staying true to your beliefs—it's all about that balance of love and truth. He also clears up some myths around the Latin Mass and give some tips for preparing kids for their First Holy Communion. It's a jam-packed episode with loads of insights and encouragement for living your faith every day.   Marka (email) - How can we know if the small voice we hear is coming from God, our guardian angel, our own conscience, or some other source? (00:42) Linda – Is there a book or resource that I can share with OCIA candidates? (06:57) Yolie – My friend's wife is cremated, and he has her ashes in an urn on his dresser. Is that appropriate? (13:37) Larry (email) - Just listened to your response about an LGBTQ friend and possibly moving on. It’s amazing to think that if I followed this advice I would be leaving a relationship with not only my own precious 31-year-old daughter (just recently found out about her) but other family members and friends. (17:11) Maureen - How can I help my friend understand that the normal Mass is just as valid as Latin Mass? (27:12) Tito - Why aren’t the Coptic Orthodox and Catholic Church united? We seem to have a lot in common (36:06) Paul – I’m preparing middle schoolers and high schoolers for Receiving Communion. How do I present this to a group in a Parish where it’s normal to receive 'in the hand'? (43:23)
