Patrick opens with encouragement for anxious listeners, especially a soon-to-be mother uncertain about her child’s future, drawing on simple wisdom from Saint Padre Pio: pray, hope, and don’t worry. He fields questions about Church teaching, the permanence of baptism, and faith’s place in public life, offering practical guidance, reflections on trust, and spiritual resources like the “Surrender Novena”. Throughout, Patrick reminds everyone that chaos in the Church or world cannot destroy Christ’s promise, personal holiness and trust in God remain the sure path through every storm. Madeline (email) - How can I feel more peace surrounding all this and trust that God will protect our child’s life and future? (00:34) Jared - Is the Church's teaching on homosexuality definitive? I hear rumblings that this teaching could be changed. (04:16) Carl - Are you familiar with the book, 'The Hell There is' by Msgr. Charles Pope? (19:25) Michael - I was baptized Catholic but wasn't raised Catholic. Can you have your Baptism rescinded? (23:19) James - For all those people worrying, the Surrender Novena is a great prayer to relieve people from anxiety. (29:45) Rhonda - My granddaughter felt bad people had to say “under God” in the National Anthem/Pledge of Allegiance, because not everyone believes in God. (32:36) Carla (email) - I have a follow up question to the call from the husband about his wife and her cousin’s same sex wedding. If the cousin is currently in OCIA, should the wife continue to be the sponsor? Should she inform the church that the cousin is not fit to continue the OCIA program? (39:41) John - What is the wilderness mentioned in Revelation 12:6-14? (43:24)

Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my Mother. To thee I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petition, but in thy Mercy, hear and answer me. Amen"'Mother Teresa was flooded with prayer requests, and she had many intentions that she wanted to send up quickly to Our Lady. Her solution? Pray a novena of Memorares. Mother Teresa would pray nine Memorares in a row - and then she immediately added a tenth in thanksgiving for graces received. I can't remember where I first heard about the Emergency Novena, but the graces I have received each time I've prayed it have been tangible and immediate." - Maura Roan McKeegan, Catholic Exchange

I had an encounter yesterday. That resulted in me altogether scrapping the episode I recorded for today and recording this one instead. "I want to cry.I want to scream.I want to dance.And it's not so much of an answered prayer.It's like He's saying,"I've always been taking care of everything;you just recognize it now." -A listener speaking of what happened after she surrendered her employment situation to Jesus __________________________________________Talk to Me, give Me your love like it's food and I'm hungry.Give me your love like it's water, and I thirst.Like it's only your love, only your light I need.That's how important it is for you to feel Me,so you can be blessed.Not later,not months from now.Now.I don't need time.I stop time,just like I've stopped your thoughts.Parted them.Listen.

You have come into the light of His Face. You are conscious of His Everlasting Arms.You are conscious of what was hidden. It says in the Gospel of Philip that Jesus is His hidden Name.It's been revealed to you.Call on It, sing It, shout It, share It. "I heard their voices and I treasured their faith in my heart. And I sealed My Name upon their foreheads. For they are free men and they are mine." -Odes of Solomon, John Davidson Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah.I love you, nik nikki@curlynikki.comPlease support the show: ▶▶https://www.patreon.com/goodmornings▶▶ Cash App $NikWalton __________________________________________Surrender Novena Day 9 - Father Dolindo Ruotolo"Pray always in readiness to surrender, and you will receive from it great peace and great rewards, even when I confer on you the grace of immolation, of repentance and of love. Then what does suffering matter? It seems impossible to you? Close your eyes and say with all your soul, “Jesus, you take care of it”. Do not be afraid, I will take care of things and you will bless my name by humbling yourself. A thousand prayers cannot equal one single act of surrender, remember this well. There is no novena more effective than this: O Jesus, I surrender myself to you, take care of everything! (10 times)Mother, I am yours now and forever. Through you and with you I always want to belong completely to Jesus.Amen""See thoughts and feelings like a train that enters a station and then leaves; be like the station, not like a passenger." ~ Rupert Spira"Jesus" is a hidden name; "Christ" is a revealed name. So "Jesus" is not translated, but he's called by his name "Jesus." But the name "Christ" in Syriac is "Messiah," in Greek "Christ, and all the others have it according to their own language. "The Nazarene" reveals what's hidden. Christ has everything within himself, whether human or angel or mystery, and the Father."- Gospel of Philip "Take a deep breath, put a hand on your heart and repeat out loud: "It is safe for me to re-member who I was before I learned to hide." Deep breath. Thinking the world is not ready for your light is most likely your ego's way to rationalize your self repression. The earth has not only been ready for your light... now she demands it. If you think expressing your pain is vulnerable, try expressing your brightness without holding back." - @xavier.dagba
"You will succeed in all you do, and light will shine on your path." - Job 22:28 You know how when you walk into a Cathedral it's so quiet, that the quiet echoes? The silence echoes. That's how it is here right now. It's as quiet as His tomb, as empty as His tomb. Match My empty. Match My Silence. Feel His Love there. The air you think you're breathing is Love. Love that inhale. Love that exhale. He loves you. You can trust him. Tell Him you're scared. Tell Him to help you. Pray, 'save me, I need you. This is hard." And then linger in the Silence. Listen for Him in the Silence. Tell Him you're listening for Him in the Silence. I feel for Him in and AS the Silence, and I find Him every time.

She is entirely absorbed by contemplation, adoration, and prayer. She hides herself in Her Son; She exists only in Her Son. She disappears in Her Son (.) The attitude of Mary is that of listening. She is completely turned to the word of the Son. Mary does not speak. She simply wants to submit to God like a trusting child. Her fiat is tot a I and joyful. She intends to receive God's will through Jesus." - Robert Cardinal Sarah, The Power of SilenceIsaiah 43"God's timing might be sooner than you think. Be ready." - Unknown

All you have to do is keep facing the Son, and letting these words water you, letting your practice work the soil, while you face the Son.

You're seeing your lack of faith from Faith. You're seeing your lack of love from Love. Who is seeing?What is seen?The eyes report rock, tree, wall, person.
