    The Patrick Madrid Show: August 14, 2026 - Hour 1

    Patrick opens the hour  with listener calls touching on Marian devotion as a path to knowing Jesus, the balance between faith and superstition in Catholic customs like burying St. Joseph statues, and the nuances surrounding prayer and sacramentals. Tall questions surface: Does Jesus share Joseph’s DNA? How do biblical passages frame marriage and lifelong singleness, especially against today’s shifting relationship norms? Personal stories of goodbyes, scriptural tangles, and unexpected house-selling miracles thread through a conversation brimming with candid curiosity and moments of heartfelt gratitude.   Nick - My spiritual director asked me how Mary brought me closer to Jesus? Can you help me answer this? (01:25) Molly - I have heard someone say that Jesus had Joseph's DNA as well. I am wondering how is that possible? (09:40) *Andrea (email) – Is burying a St. Joesph Statue for the purpose of selling a house superstition? (17:12) Doug - Advice for saying goodbye for the last time to somebody on hospice. (28:45) Karolee - Todays readings on 'some are incapable of marriage’.  What types of people are born incapable of marriage, and why did God make that way? (39:48) Mary - St. Joseph statue: we sold our house 3 yrs ago. I did not bury the statue but I did buy it. We also did a novena. By St. Joseph's day, we got an offer. (49:17)

    Patrick fields heartfelt questions from listeners grappling with Catholic teaching and daily challenges; everything from Mary's perpetual virginity and ancient Jewish folklore to wedding customs, prayers for wayward children, and the sometimes awkward details of parish life. Stories of potluck wedding receptions and potently simple analogies mingle with gentle encouragement, reminders of tradition, and a clear-eyed perspective on what truly matters amid shifting expectations and personal doubts. Every call brings a flash of real life: confusion, laughter, honest struggle, and hope.   Mary Jane - I'm engaged to a Methodist. He says there is biblical proof Mary had other children. Where can I find proof to counter this? (00:39) Jouselin - Did Lilith exist in the Bible? After Adam and Eve died, how were more people born? (13:21) Jessica and 6-year-old Thomas – Who made God?

(23:37) Efrank - I was told that certain vestments can be dry cleaned whereas others cannot. Why do priests listen to bishops saying to dry clean vestments? (40:37) David - My wife and I had a nice wedding without spending a lot of money. My daughter is married recently. What does an invalid marriage mean? (45:17)

    Do yoga and sound bowl practices conflict with Catholic belief? How old was Adam when he entered the Garden of Eden? Does Mass on TV fulfills a Sunday obligation for the disabled?

(17:30) Lawrence - Can you point me to marriage prep online resources for those getting married outside the United States?

    Patrick brings forward heartfelt Catholic parenting struggles and the friction that comes when faith meets indifference within families, then moves without pause to the weight of new abortion laws, exposing inconsistencies and pressing for the dignity of life with no hesitation. He weaves in humor as pronoun debates and denominational questions arise, tossing lightness and sharp inquiry in equal measure and never letting heavy topics linger unchallenged.   Anna (email) - At what point should we decide to limit exposure to these family members so as not to scandalize our kids to believe that it's okay to be lukewarm Catholics and to even live a lifestyle that is contrary to Catholic beliefs?

    Patrick explores questions about authority, suffering, and family tensions through personal stories and faith challenges, offering Catholic perspectives on naming guardian angels, choosing life in difficult pregnancies, and the risks of spiritual warfare without proper authority. He listens to intense calls about refusing to attend a same-sex wedding, dealing with estranged parents, and encouraging loved ones back to confession and faith practice, framing each issue within Scripture and Church teaching. As unexpected stories surface, Patrick connects callers’ struggles with hope, reflection, and the radical call to do the right thing even under pressure.   John (email) - Naming or hearing the name of your Guardian Angel (01:19) Jim in MN - 30 yrs ago, my wife and I were told by our doctor to abort.
