The Patrick Madrid Show: August 8, 2025 – Hour 2

Patrick explores how souls recognize each other in the afterlife, fields questions about St. Michael’s Lent, and discusses whether prayers at Mass should be spoken out loud or kept silent. Balancing heartfelt guidance for those struggling with scrupulosity and his commitment to keeping focus on Catholic faith rather than politics, Patrick brings unpredictable insights and a personal touch throughout the episode.
