The Patrick Madrid Show: September 19, 2023 - Hour 2
The Patrick Madrid Show
From the miraculous stories of women who defied doctors' warnings about childbirth, to the profound significance of a rarely performed Mass, to the advice given to a Catholic woman facing pressure to move in with her fiancé, Patrick covers it all. * Patrick comments more on John’s call from the end of the previous hour about taking birth control pills for medical reasons * Katherine - Perhaps Bella's husband has been having this issue for a long time, maybe he lacked the emotional maturity for getting into marriage * Leah - Advice for John's daughter: Napro technology from Pope John Paul II Institute. They prescribe bioidentical hormones and they get to the root cause of the menstrual cycle being off, or any infertility issues. * June – What did St. Paul mean when he said, “you should die to thyself.” * Patrick reads and responds to a Reddit post: My Catholic fiancé wants me to move in with him before the wedding * Father Len - I'm a priest in Milwaukee. Comment about home Masses: one of the most profound experiences I've had was doing the Mass of the viaticum. * Kathy – Comment on living together: My husband and I had 6 kids before we were married in the Church. When we came back to the Church, the priest had us live in separate quarters before our marriage. It was so great! * Benson – I lived with my now wife for 6 years before we got married. I didn't think marriage was necessary. * Kathleen - I know of couples who lived together that broke up before the wedding. * Hermine - I just had my 6th baby (at 35 years old). My last pregnancy was very difficult. I have a very irregular menstruation. We have been trying NFP. We are getting concerned about my health.
