We hear powerful testimonies about the value of life, with listeners sharing moving stories of resisting genetic testing and choosing life against daunting medical recommendations. Patrick also explores the beauty of motherhood and affirms its dignity in the Catholic Church.

 

• Norma – My friend was told her baby would have a heart problem, but the baby was born with no health issues (03:28)
• Gina - Women were given this gift to have children and when they can't it's really hard on them. Why don't Catholic women know how amazing this gift they have been given is?
• Tom - A doctor told my wife that she should get an abortion and I when I told him no, he said he would call the police because it was just between the doctor and the woman. (09:56)
• Justin - What did you mean by gay show tunes in mass? I am a music minister at my church and I don't know what you mean. (13:41)
• Anna - My in-laws are not Catholic and just got divorced. My mother-in-law wants to come over and stay the night with her new boyfriend. What should do?
• Mark - Our Bishop asked us to stop singing “Gather Us In”
• Maria - I was pushed to get genetic testing and I heard a story where a doctor aborted a baby that had nothing wrong with it
• Joe - My friend is Calvinist and I told him I would go to church with him but I couldn't take communion and that if he went with me he shouldn't take it at my service either.
• Yvonne - I went to a democratic convention and I'm wondering why Catholics vote for things like abortion but will still go to mass?
• Lisa - 90% of babies with down syndrome are aborted. We had a daughter with down syndrome and she is our pride and joy (41:31)
• Jeff - I have been going to AA for 43 years and want to encourage George to start going. “Trust God. Clean house. Trust others.” (44:21)
• Esteban - If a marriage is annulled, is it true that they can get married again after that?
