Check out this great show from April 2, 2025 Father Michael Hurley joins Patrick to discuss Intellect and faith When it comes to Jesus, we must care and we must mind (2:53) What does the intellect teach us about the life of faith? The intellect is a human faculty that is a direct reflection of God. (4:04) Faith should be accessible to us all (11:27) Our capacity to love is finite. Do you want to grow in love? The only way to expand your love is to expand your mind? (14:48) Break 1 (22:28) The difference between the intellect, the will, and the passions?

Check out this Encore show from April 8, 2025 Father Bobby Blood joins Patrick to discuss Charitable Chastisement How do you discern when to offer correction to someone? (14:14) Judy - I wish somebody had loved me enough to chastise me. I walked away from faith, husband, etc. Nobody said Judy...you can't do this. I think it's important that we love enough to do that. I've come back to God and I know how much he loves me. It took a long time to accept the fact that he forgave me. (17:57) Thomas - I do sales for a living. When you have the truth and a way to convey it...chastisement, etc. tonality and all are everything. One of the ways to chastise is to site another source. Another way is the tonality...like... raising the voice. Coming from a place of love. (22:16) Break 1 What are things we can say to help build a relationship? (25:11) Mary - My sister was seriously ill. Didn't realize it was terminal. I told her she had to get it together because she was very ill.

There is so much detail and every one of them is so rich in material and great to meditate upon. Linda - I went on the Camino. While we were there, we walked to where the pilgrims were from. There were stations on the way to the village. It was very enlightening to walk where our Blessed mother appeared to the children. (46:29) Nicole - Before coming back to the church, I felt there was a bit of a patriarchal problem. I found the stations to be so female-centric. It was so profound (Veronica's veil). It felt very inclusive. I felt there was a patriarchal prayer to many prayers. Broke down when I first prayed them.

Philip - I evangelize. I was able to continue this mission since 2000. It's entering into the unknown and not being afraid. Mine was nursing home care. Finding out if anyone is praying the Rosary. So many assisted living/nursing homes. Bring your rosary and bring it up with permission (activities coordinator). (17:48) Dana - Choosing a particular book that may be of interest to my daughters. We are in a book club. I chose a book and they tore it down. It was a religious book. If I'm going to be part of their club, it has to include what I have. Evangelization with my daughters...what would be an interesting book to capture their attention and get them thinking? (22:43) Break 1 (25:48) Joel - I have been wearing a cross outside my shirt. People always comment, 'That's a beautiful cross.' Really brings up Christianity. A lot of guys and women are wearing the cross because of an organization in Fargo, ND.

(41:19) Stephanie - How to approach in conversation with my non-believer friend. She told me she was baptized Catholic, raised Jehovah Witness. Now she's a non-believer.

He had a saying...those who leave do it for what they think it is. He taught me how to love and learn the faith and serve the Lord. It's so intertwined. Stall in beatification. We know when that happens...it's good because Satan wants to mess things up. What were some challenges of the beatification of Fulton Sheen? (16:27) Ken - I was raised in a Catholic/Protestant home. Father was protestant and would listen to Bp Fulton Sheen with mom. He was impressed by Sheen and would laugh at some comments. When I started listening to RR, I can hear my father's laughter. (21:02) Break 1 How do you get canonized? (25:35) Art - When I was a boy in the 60's, my parents used to watch his program. I remember it was always brighter (we only had black and white). Always wondered why that was. I realized it was the holy spirit. Found that fascinating. Very blessed man. Regina - Received a minor miracle for surgery. Had bad cataracts. Didn't have health insurance at the time. I remember watching his program. Talked about angels. At the hospital, the surgeon was kind enough to get me an angel grant to pay for the surgery. (35:03) Break 2 (37:50) Dorothy - I missed him in the 50's. anecdote to share...his style. I worked in Catholic Charities. I didn't know the society of the propagation of the faith was a competitor of ours. Went to a performance and he was there. He had such a fun style. He asked me what I do...told him I was a secretary with CC...flung the cape over his shoulder almost in dismay. Had such a twinkle and fun personality. (40:41) Janine - My father was protestant, mom was catholic. Mom loved to watch him. Dad would watch with her. Made one wall black flocked wallpaper. We lived in uptown Chicago. To this day, I believe it had such an influence on dad because he did finally receive communion. I think it was Bp Sheen. Mary - I think Americans need to make a pilgrimage to some places. Champion to Peoria to Bp Sheen, and then to Quincy to Fr. Tolton. Resources: Fulton J.

Father Joseph Illo joins Patrick to discuss Redemptive Suffering (3:19) What does the Church teach about suffering and God’s plan for suffering? (20:34) Break 1 Father talks about the importance of responding to suffering well (26:01) Yolie - A friend had a baby as the result of a rape. Refused to abort. Was alone after that and had to deal with shame. Is that redemptive suffering? (31:37) Philip - I'm a knight of the Immaculata...sub group called knights at the foot of the cross. They have extreme suffering...many wheel chair bound. When I've introduced the concept of redemptive suffering...suddenly, my back pain or chronic pain is less...receiving relief. I think it's a goodness of God as a thank you for offering it up. Mario - I've noticed in others...sometimes when God sends you a cross, you're carrying it for someone who is dear to you. (38:21) Break 2 How does punishment and suffering come from sin? (45:04) Ann - Live in independent living. Other floors have assisted living. Most people are 65+ up to 102. Lots of suffering going on. Don't know how to approach them sometimes. Feel funny by just saying 'offer it up.' How do I approach it? How do you cultivate joy in the midst of suffering?
