The Patrick Madrid Show: July 14, 2026 - Hour 2

Patrick fields listener questions that range from Mass intentions and Catholic marriage validity to grief after a loved one’s suicide, offering practical guidance and personal reflections, sometimes quoting Scripture directly. Humor threads through his advice to parents struggling with rebellious teens and smartphone battles, even as serious topics around Church teaching and mercy surface alongside day-to-day struggles.
