Join Patrick as he guides listeners to deepen their understanding and strengthen their spiritual lives.   Apple reportedly flew in 5 planes full of iPhones into the U.S. to avoid tariffs (00:58) Marie - I went to Confession and said my last Confession was 20 years ago. The priest told me to get out and go to a priest in America. (04:24) * Email - if a person hasn't been to confession in decades and now wants to go, you had said you need to confess the kind of sins and the number of times, but, if that person honestly and truly doesn't remember the number of times they committed a sin because it's been decades over their life time, what do they tell the priest for the number of times? (17:55) Brenda - One priest lets me say Confession the normal way. Another one says to follow the page in the Confessional. What should I do? (29:00) Carol (email) - My atheist cousin sent me a cartoon from the New Yorker today. It featured a cute, cartoon Jesus talking to his disciples around a small table on which there was a cup of wine and some bread...and a large chocolate bunny. Jesus is saying, "So the bread is my body, the wine is my blood, and the chocolate bunny is a fun springtime treat." (33:28) Melissa – My priest told my mom that he was unable to hear her Confession because she wasn't married in the Church. (37:56)
