The Patrick Madrid Show: May 13, 2024 - Hour 2
The Patrick Madrid Show
Patrick has a profound conversation with Diane about the importance of regular confession in maintaining spiritual health. Diane shares her realization about neglecting confession while still participating in Holy Communion, prompting a discussion on the necessity of a clean conscience to fully benefit from the sacraments. Patrick explores how confession serves as a powerful tool to renew one's spiritual life, ensuring peace and a strengthened relationship with God. If you’ve been away from confession and feel unsure, remember, it’s never too late to reconcile and seek peace through this beautiful sacrament. * David - What does the church say about being in the state of mortal sin and taking communion if you go to confession right away or very soon after? (01:30) * Gloria - Doctors think I have an autoimmune disease and they have invited me to take birth control. They said that I shouldn’t get pregnant because the tests I am getting will hurt the baby. I don't feel comfortable with that. Your thoughts? (12:06) * Mary Lou – I am single and I never married because I never found someone who was truly Catholic. (22:35) * Carolyn - I am Catholic and I married a Protestant - I am trying to get my marriage blessed but I have been taking communion. Is the priest to blame? (31:33) * Diane - I am catholic and I haven't gone to confession for 5 or 6 years and I have still been taking communion. Am I in mortal sin? (40:52)
