The Patrick Madrid Show: January 05, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick answers questions from listeners about everything from the order of sacraments and returning to confession, to praying for healing and dealing with grief after loss. Conversations shift quickly: heartfelt moments with callers like Karen, who faces Alzheimer’s with faith, sit alongside advice for Jeff, who wonders about finding love again after his wife’s passing. Wisdom, warmth, and surprises fill the air as Patrick responds with empathy, candor, and genuine care.   Chandler - What is the typical sequence of the initiation sacraments?
