Patrick explains Catholic beliefs about Mary as an intercessor, drawing parallels with biblical stories like the wedding at Cana. He explores whether Mary takes every petition to Jesus, and how her perfect union with God's will influences her intercession. He also unpacks the writings of saints like St. Louis de Montfort and discusses the importance of staying grounded in official Church teachings. He also touches on the importance of showing reverence and respect to those around us, as a reflection of our faith.
