The Patrick Madrid Show: March 17, 2026 - Hour 3

Patrick responds to calls about funeral rites, Catholic teaching on Mary, reverence in church, and the emotional struggles that follow loss. He connects the struggles of real people to faith, sometimes pausing to discuss moments from history, like the Saint Patrick's Battalion, other times pausing to comfort, or to unpack theological puzzles like how joy exists beside suffering in heaven.   Julie - Do we have to do a Memorial Mass for my deceased father? (00:36) Joe - Regarding the Trump caller, I think our country, church and world won't see a true revival until they come to know and love the Blessed Virgin Mary. (06:20) Pamela - Jesus gave Mary to St. John and wouldn't have needed to do that had St. Joseph been there. (10:27) Joe - I observed a Deacon talking with a lay person in the sanctuary in front of the tabernacle. What is your take? (11:42) Jose - Do you know about the St. Patrick's Battalion? (19:33) Maria - My husband was cremated. Can I inter him during Lent? (23:03) Dave - I was praying the Creed and was overwhelmed by God's goodness. Could God ever have been different?
