The Patrick Madrid Show: February 19, 2026 – Hour 2

Patrick opens with a moving letter about a daughter’s struggle with scrupulosity and the positive, faith-filled impact that Relevant Radio had on her life. He fields questions ranging from fasting rules and confession logistics for the elderly, to the story of Abraham and Isaac, and addresses misconceptions about sacred images with sharp biblical insight.

  • Trish (email) – I heard in Father Rocky’s Lenten lesson this morning that “men take off their hats” when entering the church. (00:40)
  • Greg – I am an 80-year-old man and don’t drive. How do I fulfill my obligations for Easter? (05:00)
  • Eddie – I am confused about the fasting rules. (08:36)
  • Jason – Why doesn’t Abraham argue with God about sacrificing his son? (17:45)
  • Dede – Thank you for your courage on playing our past Presidents audio on immigration. (23:25)
  • Jean – My coworker is nondenominational and said that images of the Crucifix are an abomination. (27:28)
  • Pat – In the Our Father, why do we say, ‘but deliver us from evil?’ (36:35)
  • Richard – About why Abraham didn’t protest: I believe in those days other gods required sacrifice, so Abraham thought maybe God was like them. (42:47)
