Thank you so very much. I think of my son daily and when I think (whining) of my pains I recall the sufferings of my son and I get over it. God will get you through everything if you let him. I know that with all my heart.

I hope I read all those emojis right. You really appreciated my testimony. Thanks. ❤

It’s quite possible but then don’t we all have little in us all?

❤yeah Eddie’s gotten so famous he hardly talks to me now. But I can say I knew him when. lol. He’s got a great podcast concept You should buy his book Confessions All. It’s a great story and the inspiration behind Catholic ReCon.

Thanks for your heart felt comment. It was through the acetic truth that life got better. ❤

Thank you for your kind words and support. I wouldn’t wish this on anyone. But one thing I’ve learned is that as long as you is that no matter what one faces God will give you the strength to endure even when you don’t believe it. If your are putting the needs of others above yours it’s amazing what you can endure. I do know that the man I was before my life was turned upside down with the birth of my was not one worthy of anything. That experience made me a far better man today.

That’s a good question. I’ve been saying a regular rosary for ten years since I returned to the Catholic Church. I used to pray regularly for the healing and repair of my marriage and childrrn . I can’t say for certain I said a rosary for her specifically though. Even after the divorce I continue pray for happiness. ❤

Thanks for watching I do these to honor my son. ❤

@@MrKingpat05 You are very welcome. May God bless you.

Thanks for the prayers ❤

❤wow. I’ve never been accused of people subscribing. Eddie take note I’ve been good for you. lol. I’m kidding, thank you so very much. That was great compliment I’m humbled by it.

Thanks for watching!

You’re so welcome and God is so great and I learned it the hard way. ❤

Well it did take a few 2x4’s to get my attention. I am a slow learner. ❤

❤thanks my friend. Always appreciated.

That’s a very nice thing to say. God bless you.

@@stephenler3850 I greatly appreciate the prayers. Just to let you know many times while sharing I still get a lump in my throat and my eyes tear up and it’s been 20 years. But sharing his life with others has been such a blessing to me thank you.

@@ronnieingle1447 that’d be awesome thanks. I did 64 podcasts and I’m still doing the live radio show on Wednesday mornings at 7:20 am mountain time.

@@jeromepopiel388 good question. I don’t know. We were there initially for club foot surgery. It was supposed to be a couple days and ended up being 34 days. That was the only time we were in that hospital. That club foot surgery was not successful because he didn’t stand on his own to put weight on his feet. We didn’t do anymore surgeries until we moved to Idaho in 95.

Oh it does mean the world to me to be able share his life with others. I don’t know how share just how much joy he brought me and others. ❤

Amen. Thanks. He has brought me so much joy and love. Thanks for your comments. ❤

Thank for your comments. It really means a lot to me my only real regret is that because he was such beautiful soul that I wasn’t able to share him with more people.

❤

Blessings to you, too.

@@CatholicReCon pls don't the full hour is lovely

​@@konnichibeaucoup4089Agreed

I was just wishing they had more time. But chapter headings for when I’m trying to get the gist. I feel it’s so personal rushing it would eliminate a lot of good stuff.

​@@CatholicReCon The long interviews are great. Thank you!

I’ve shared this on my radio show but rarely get feed back. Thanks for the prayers and support ❤

God bless you, Pat. Thanks for sharing your remarkable journey.

Pat, thank you so much for sharing. I have a stepson with septo-optic dysplasia... lots of frustrations, health scares, etc.. Your testimony really touched me in a special way.

@@sarahburke8955 my heart goes to you as you journey through this with your stepson. The journey is not always easy nor is it something you’re always willing to do. But every chance you get to find the joy of the moment with him , they’ll be the ones that make the hard times just a moment. My prayers go out to all of your family. May God bless you.

Dear Sir, your story touched me deeply. My Husband and I went through so much of what you did with Your Lance, in 1977. We had an 18mo. Old daughter and then gave birth to twin boys. Little Jeff, the second born, passed away the day he was born. He was the bigger twin. Zachary, the first born, lived 13 days. He no wall between the ventricles of his heart. He was deaf in one ear. We have experienced many of your feelings. I also had my uterus removed the day they were born. We had been welcoming as many children as God would bless us with. We ended up being able to adopt two baby Girls. You showed many many people, including your dear Son, great love! Lance loved you right back. You and your Wife will only know, in Heaven, how your loving sacrifices affected our world. Looking at my little Son, in his hospital bed with his arms stretched out,as if he were on a cross, made me realize the pain the our Blessed Mother suffered when she stood beneath His cross!

Thank you Pat. Very moving!

Wow, what a journey you had! Welcome to the Catholic Church.

Great question. One continues as he normally would. I think this quote from St. Thomas More (addressing Martin Luther) says a lot: “What especially moves me is this: that if according to Luther’s idea the vices of men are to be imputed to the offices they hold, not only will the Papacy fall, but royalty, and dictatorship, and consulate, and every other kind of magistracy, and the people will be rulers, without law, and without order.” "Vices of men" can easily be replaced with "unclear comments of men" and remind us that the pope is not impeccable. Never was, never is. Furthermore, I for one have no business critiquing every single thing that comes out of the pope's mouth. None of us have his role and therefore have no clue what it means to deliver universal messages across all cultures and situations. We will never sleep until we trust in God and pray for the pope and his extremely difficult role. People are leaving the Church to find what? A perfect earthly leader? Not going to happen. Meanwhile, the magisterium will continue without error.

🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

People who criticized the Pope regarding his statement "All paths to reach God" are worried that if they preach the Gospel they will no longer believe, because people think that all religions will go to heaven, peoe don't believe in themselves, I believe all religion lead to heaven but whether the path is right is what is important, as a Catholic i believe the right path is through Jesus Christ, who is led by the Pope on earth.

@@martinussapantondok3773 But the Pope doesn't believe in hell right? If there is no hell, then Christ suffering TORTURE for us was unnecessary.

@@mdb1239 You have proof Chatolic doesn't believe in hell?
