Rebecca, a recently divorced Catholic mother of eight, asks Patrick for advice regarding her ex-husband’s recent overture of sending her flowers and chocolate, which reinforced her own desire to get back together again with him. Encouraging her to pursue the possibility of reuniting with him, Patrick suggests that she ask her husband out on a date and see where things lead to from there.

There is Never a Reason for Abortion

Stella, a delivery room nurse, asks Patrick if there can be an exception to the Church’s teaching that abortion is wrong if it’s in the case of a child who is raped or a victim of sex trafficking, or a pregnant woman whose life is in danger if the baby is not aborted. Patrick walks her gently through the details surrounding these scenarios, and she has a conversion of the heart, after which she is convinced that abortion is always wrong.

Patty, calling to support Stella, shares when she had her first baby when she was a teenager. She had no money and even her mom was pressuring her to have an abortion. She chose life, and now her son is married and his wife is expecting her grandchild!

The Impact of John Lennon’s Death on Patrick Madrid

Commenting on the recent news that Paul McCartney explained that it was not he but John Lennon who broke up the Beatles, Patrick discusses Lennon‘s tragic killing on December 8, 1980. The “God door” here, he explains, is how Lennon‘s murder brought home to him for the very first time the reality of the gospel message that no matter how rich or famous someone is in this world, none of that goes with him and that everybody will have to eventually give an account of his life and go either to heaven or hell.
