On today's Patrick Madrid show, Patrick talks with the following callers in Hour 1:

• Gabriel - How can I prepare my 7-year-old daughter for her first confession?
• David - Someone who receives communion at my parish will raise the host up to the alter before consuming it. Is that okay?
• David - Today's reading about whoever is not with me is against me seems to contradict another Gospel where Jesus says whoever is not against us is for us. How do I reconcile this?
• Lisa - What is the Church's teaching on only God knowing the state of the soul when someone dies? Some people seem to canonize others at the funerals.  How do we balance hope and being realistic?
• Therese - My son told me that he is going to study to become a free mason. how do I talk him out of this?
