Fallen Away Children - The Inner Life - August 27, 2025

The Inner Life

Fr. Bobby Blood joins Patrick to discuss Fallen Away Children: Saint Monica * Father gives insights and inspiration on the shooting at the MN Catholic School. * (13:32) Who was St Monica? * How do our prayers affect the salvation of other people? (20:19) Break 1 * (29:11) Lu - Our son passed away last October. He was fallen away. It's been difficult because he had all the sacraments. Anything that can help me with that? * Linda - My children are in their 40s. Both fell away from the faith and stayed away for years. My husband and I prayed to St. Monica for years. Now, both are back in the church. I believe that prayers work. (36:33) Break 2 * (38:02) Stacy - Want to share...As a fallen away child who fell away and came back. The reason I came back. I went to Catholic school until 6th grade.  I didn't pay attention as a child and didn't interest me. Making so many mistakes, I finally officially turned my life over to Jesus. Love the Catholic faith now. * (41:52) Email – how do you pray hard? * How can you talk with your child about coming back to the Church without being nagging? * (47:22) Isabelle - I have a son, 66 years old, all the sacraments. 14 years and he doesn't want to have anything to do with me. He says he's an atheist. It really bothers me. What do I do?
