Patrick fields hard-hitting listener questions on why prayer matters if God knows everything, pulling in St. Thomas Aquinas and the nature of time, then takes on raw, personal pleas, like guiding a friend lost in adult entertainment, suggesting persistent prayer and spiritual strategies drawn from the saints. Unexpected details surface: communion’s brief presence in the body, awkward parish controversies, and callers eager for faith, grounding the episode in the messy, human search for hope and clarity.
