The Patrick Madrid Show: December 23, 2024 - Hour 3

Father Matthew reflects on the true essence of giving this Advent season. He shares a story about a couple’s struggle with their Christmas gifts and how it represents our own spiritual sacrifices. Jesus teaches us that offerings should be about doing God's will with a pure heart. This Christmas, Father Matthew encourages everyone to focus on giving gifts that come from genuine love and selflessness, reflecting the spirit Jesus shared with us.
