Fr. Rob Kroll joins Patrick to discuss Hope in Despair

• (3:28) what is hope as Theological virtue?
• What is the Despair?
• (16:53) Jasmin - I struggle with a few things...mainly faith. My son and my marriage also. Really having a hard time to move forward with faith. Confirmed Catholic and went to Catholic School. Always passionate about it, but not always the best Catholic. Find myself falling into the same temptation. How can I be a Peter and not a Judas?

(24:41) Break 1

• Andi - I'm on my way to spiritual direction with my priest because I've suffered the same thing the previous caller has been through. I'm going to do what I need to do and seek spiritual direction for scrupulosity.
• (31:42) Joan - Can I be forgiven for not raising my own children because I was homeless and had 3 abortions. I have been to confession, but I don't feel forgiven.

(38:12) Break 2

• (39:00) Email from Mary – How do you have hope in infertility?
• Theresa - I went to a lifetime confession. Listed all the sins I ever did and got absolution for everything. That life me so far up. Everyone says God forgets your sins, but what bothers me is talk about the end times and everyone is going to know everyone's sins. If the sins are forgiven, why do they talk about that?
