    The Patrick Madrid Show: May 20, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick questions how double income households shifted from option to requirement, links taxation and property ownership to this loss of family leisure, and weighs both spiritual and practical responses. Listeners raise honest struggles: a puzzling job reference, the wording of the Our Father, and whether God ever truly leads us into temptation.   Audio: Double-income household started as an option but quickly became an obligation – Rory Sutherland - https://x.com/newstart_2024/status/2039406825875841472?s=20 (00:24) Jorge (email) – This world will have suffering, but He also promises to give us strength (06:18) Nancy (email) - There was a guest on last night's Family Rosary Across America (forgive me for not remembering his name) who said, during the Our Father, "do not lead us into temptation" instead of "and lead us not into temptation."  (10:25) James - Two Fish are swimming along in the ocean and encounter another fish going in the opposite direction… (12:23) Jo (email) – What place is being prepared for us? (18:19) Harvey - How do you translate the part of the Our Father that says 'Lead us not into temptation'? (20:18) Maria - In Spanish, it says 'do not allow us to fall into temptation'. (26:57) Email – My former employer isn’t responding to calls or emails looking for references about me (32:45) Carlo - What does it mean when Jesus told his disciples to pray that they not undergo the test? (35:08) Gary (email) – I had my first confession in 58 years because of you. (45:21)

    The Patrick Madrid Show: May 19, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick begins with Father James Brent’s encouragement to absorb and ponder Scripture deeply, then reflects on scientific studies about animal intelligence, particularly why apes never ask questions while even young children do which raises profound questions about the soul. Patrick brings in Chris Pratt’s outspoken faith and Marco Rubio’s deep assessment of the Catholic Church’s impact on American history, weaving together spiritual insight, real-life questions, and public witness in unexpected, sometimes even joyful bursts.   Audio: As we receive the word of God with our faith, our souls come alive with Fr.

    The Patrick Madrid Show: May 18, 2026 - Hour 2

    Patrick opens with a caller’s honest struggle about sustaining faith and character in environments that never quite align with Catholic convictions, offering advice that blends scriptural grit with lived wisdom. Conversations about the unchecked spread of AI and massive data centers quickly turn uneasy, sparking debate over their promises and the unseen costs shaping towns and families while ordinary life persists.   Josh - Is it a problem that I don't talk about my faith? (00:46) Anne - We have 5 children involved in cybersecurity and AI. Pope Leo wrote about bringing Catholic teaching to industries. I am also concerned about data centers taking up land space. We were offered money for land. (15:01) Maria - Data Centers take a lot of energy and I believe they raise electricity and they take up a lot of water. I think they could cause a drought. (24:42) Joe - Why would Protestants care about the rapture? Why was the father of John the Baptist punished? (31:06) Billy (email) – Is it wrong to take a photo of the Roses at the Basilica while going up for Communion? (39:42) Jan (email) - Our parish has a priest who doesn't elevate the host and the cup, he doesn't distribute Communion, he doesn't genuflect when he walks by the tabernacle, he doesn't greet his parishioners after Mass, and worst of all, he doesn't like to hear Confessions so he very often refuses to do so. Phil - Data Centers are on a closed-circuit system. It doesn't cause water pollution. (48:52)
