The Patrick Madrid Show: September 19, 2023 - Hour 2

From the miraculous stories of women who defied doctors' warnings about childbirth, to the profound significance of a rarely performed Mass, to the advice given to a Catholic woman facing pressure to move in with her fiancé, Patrick covers it all. Patrick comments more on John’s call from the end of the previous hour about taking birth control pills for medical reasons Katherine - Perhaps Bella's husband has been having this issue for a long time, maybe he lacked the emotional maturity for getting into marriage Leah - Advice for John's daughter: Napro technology from Pope John Paul II Institute. They prescribe bioidentical hormones and they get to the root cause of the menstrual cycle being off, or any infertility issues. June – What did St. Paul mean when he said, “you should die to thyself.” Patrick reads and responds to a Reddit post: My Catholic fiancé wants me to move in with him before the wedding Father Len - I'm a priest in Milwaukee. Comment about home Masses: one of the most profound experiences I've had was doing the Mass of the viaticum. Kathy – Comment on living together: My husband and I had 6 kids before we were married in the Church. When we came back to the Church, the priest had us live in separate quarters before our marriage. It was so great! Benson – I lived with my now wife for 6 years before we got married. I didn't think marriage was necessary. Kathleen - I know of couples who lived together that broke up before the wedding. Hermine - I just had my 6th baby (at 35 years old). My last pregnancy was very difficult. I have a very irregular menstruation. We have been trying NFP. We are getting concerned about my health.
