Patrick addresses Church teaching on salvation, the significance of mercy and prayer, and encourages those yearning to return to their faith. Whether someone faces spiritual doubts or seeks support in the Catholic journey, Patrick offers clarity, encouragement, and inspiration for anyone looking to grow closer to God.   Jennifer – Does a Vigil Mass count as our Sunday obligation? (03:23) Michelle (email) - I am 63 and had an abortion at 19.  It’s something you never forget and know the pain in your heart for life.  God does know our heart and our level of the remorse. (06:48) Elvia - When Jesus said whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven, Thomas wasn't present so did he not get the gift that Jesus gave? (11:03) A Concerned Father (email) - don’t believe I’m a controlling father, but my daughter’s reaction to my advice often makes me question myself. (16:28) Patrick in Mt. Laurel, NJ - What are apostolic blessings or pardons and how many times can we receive it? (22:01) Sally - Can Jews go to heaven if they don't believe in Jesus? (29:31) Michael – The thief on the cross was not Christian, yet he was told he would be in paradise. (39:17) Lizeth - I went to confession after 15 years and it was great! (44:31) Chris – “For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous.”, what is up with the word 'many'? (48:48)
