Fr. Marc Lenneman joins Patrick to discuss Strengthening the Will

• (3:06) what is our will?
• What are the effects of original sin on the will?
• (10:11) what are good and bad convictions?
• (15:05) Mary from MN – How do you fight an affection to a specific sin?

(18:54) Break 1

• Suzie - I say I have a crazy or addict brain. I'm much better during Lent. Try really hard all year, but especially during Lent. I also know that I need to be patient. I'm working on my will and God's working on my will. My family and friends have to deal with this, too.
• (25:44) Where is the line between holy desires and earthly pleasures?
• (33:32) Ann Marie - Not to give into despair when God's working on your sinful nature. I'm working on a situation with jealousy and trying to deal with being angry or vindictive, but choosing to deal with my heart in the matter.

(39:19) Break 2

• (40:48) Carol - This show is so spot on. I needed it for my Lenten goal process. Opened up my path to be myself and understanding to what I need to achieve in my Catholicism in becoming a better person and what God wants for me.
• How does prayer fasting and alms giving increase our will power?
