The Patrick Madrid Show: July 21, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick explores the grip of anxiety and OCD, offering stories of struggle, resilience, and hard-won breakthroughs through faith, prayer, and community. Through calls, old wounds resurface and unexpected comfort arrives through novena prayers, guardian angels, and the quiet relief of finding peace again.   Jasmine - I have really bad OCD. Is there a novena or therapist that can help me? Nothing really works. (02:36) Kathleen - Why is it such a big shock that we finally have an American pope? What is your take on this? I love Pope and am so proud he is American. (08:53) Barbara - I am in 70s and suffered OCD whole life. The Novena of Surrender, and the first three steps of the AA program, has helped me. (16:19) Drew - Praying and handing over my anxiety to God really helped me. Start with the spiritual things and then things get a lot better (20:13) Joan - Did our Blessed Mother know that the child Jesus was God as she was raising Him? (34:29) Pete - The devil can appear as an angel of light, yet in the garden he appeared as a serpent. How to make sense of this? (37:22) Olivia - I have not felt this type of peace in over 20 years thanks to your advice. How do I navigate Catholics who weaponize the Bible? (40:43)
