The Patrick Madrid Show: October 03, 2024 - Hour 1

Special Guest Host Fr. Matthew Spencer talked about how death, transformed by Jesus, is actually a gateway to eternal life. He reflected on how writing your own obituary can be a valuable exercise in evaluating how Jesus will see the life you've lived. Remember, if we live according to God's will, death becomes a blessing, not just for us, but for those we leave behind. (02:23) Art - My dad died two years ago. I heard of an encyclical from the Archdiocese about those who die in the month of November will get a special indulgence. (21:59) Don - What do you do if you wake up early in the morning and are scared you will die alone? (27:26) Lucy - I caught my son cheating on a quiz this morning. (32:32) Fr. Matthew and Cyrus tell their stories of being caught stealing when they were kids and the lasting impact their punishment had on them (41:06) Regina - Why do we pray for the dead if their fate of going to heaven or hell is already decided?
