Patrick responds to listeners’ most personal questions, tracing everything from the roots and meaning of the Hail Mary and the Memorare to practical struggles with family estrangement over faith. He moves between stories of prayer and reconciliation, wild odds behind human conception, and the quiet drama of why the Eucharist lingers outside early Church creeds. Clarifying what comes from official teaching versus what arises from pious tradition, Patrick mixes wisdom, wonder, and a direct approach to Catholic belief.
