Patrick tackles a common struggle faced by many people – the difficulty of waking up early in the morning to attend daily Mass and receive the Eucharist. Patrick offers practical advice, including asking for help from your guardian angel, setting multiple alarms, and cultivating the virtue of moderation. The topic then shifts to a discussion about the challenges of interfaith relationships and the potential friction between different Christian denominations.
