Patrick answers questions from callers wrestling with faith differences in marriage, the boundaries of attending non-Catholic services, and Catholic teachings on prayer and the Mass. Humor and warmth cut through discussions of Adventist-Catholic divisions, the meaning of church bells, and why prayers matter even when God already knows the outcome.

• Jane – Husband grew up 7th Day Adventist and still attends, and he wants me to go with. Is that okay, since he also goes with me to Mass on Sunday? (00:32)
• Chuck – I was diagnosed with prostate cancer and every test I kept hearing the Keep Going guy and Jesus I trust in You. (14:42)
• Diane – Is it okay for the priest not to say the Gloria and Creed in daily masses and is that the same for the weekend masses? (19:56)
• Anne – Can loved ones who have died see what we are going through? Should we pray for or to them for intercession? (22:28)
• Jesus – I think you could also say ‘Sigue Adelante’ for Spanish translation of Keep Going! (28:51)
• Kathy – We had 7th Day Adventists who were the nicest neighbors. We need to get to know the individual. We shouldn’t discourage the woman from attending her husband’s church. (31:23)
• Pat – If a bishop is going against canon law, does the priest still have an obligation to obey him? (33:11)
• Andrew – I was asked to play at a Lutheran Church. I’m Catholic, so would that be scandalous? (40:55)
• Elly – Why do the Church bells ring? (45:29)
• Dan – I know God answers in his own time, but I wonder if God is going to do what he wants to do anyway, why should we keep praying? (48:03)
