The Patrick Madrid Show: January 23, 2026 – Hour 3

Patrick welcomes listeners on a March for Life broadcast, exploring pro-life action, Communion questions, and the Catholic approach to marriage, often through real caller situations. He moves from scriptural analysis—like the temptation of Jesus and “only God is good”—to conversations on the effects of birth control and spiritual experiences in modern life. Support, clarity, and a touch of candor shape every moment, with Patrick encouraging authentic faith at every turn.

  • Lyn (email) – Regarding your conversation with Marco and the de-frocked priest – I was a little surprised that you didn’t caution him not to read on the Internet about his friend. (01:09)
  • Dusty – Can my Catholic wife take the Eucharist if I am not Catholic? Also, a question Matthew 5. (03:21)
  • John – How many babies does birth control kill per year and home many times does it fail? (11:27)
  • Barbara – I have been a Eucharistic Minister for years and I am considering receiving on the tongue. Should I step down from being a Eucharistic Minister because I don’t want to touch the host? (19:14)
  • Paul – Why did Jesus say, ‘why do you call me good, only God is good?’ (27:17)
  • Mary – My young daughter said she saw the ghost of my sister. I called a priest and he came to bless our house. All of it stopped. The Devil tempts us with familiar spirits. (32:53)
  • Patrick in Monterey, CA – There has been a lot of talk on this show about receiving Communion. What about St. Cyril of Jerusalem’s guidance? (36:52)
  • George – Was the prostitute, Rahab, in the line of Jesus? (42:44)
  • Esmeralda – I received the Eucharist in the hand after the pandemic. I am scared to receive on the mouth because it fell out. What can I do? (44:31)
