The Patrick Madrid Show: February 20, 2026 – Hour 3

  • On today’s hour 3 of The Patrick Madrid Show, Patrick offers compelling answers to questions about confession and also about praying the Rosary.
  • (14:17) Mary – I came back to Church five years ago, the priest gave me a general absolution. I confessed the sin to a priest at Retrouvaille, but he couldn’t absolve me. He told me to go back to the parish priest. Did I still miss something?
  • Break 1
  • (24:20) Anthony – What special things need to be done if someone confesses that they have helped a woman get an abortion?
  • (32:05) Tina – Is it okay to pray 12 hail Mary’s a decade instead? I’m dedicating these 12 to deceased family members.
  • (34:00) Jamie – My wife is having an affair and not willing to confess her sins. And she wants to end our marriage. What am I to do?
  • Break 2
  • (42:25) Kathy – I have been Catholic for 3 years. I learned the most from Relevant Radio. When my daughter was 17, I forced her to have an abortion. Do I have to go to confession with that?
