My new radio show, “Right Here, Right Now”

Those of you who follow the goings-on in the world of Catholic radio might be interested to know that after having the privilege of hosting the Thursday edition of EWTN Radio’s “Open Line” show for five great years, I will soon be leaving “Open Line” to take over hosting duties of a new daily show called “Right Here, Right Now,” produced by Immaculate Heart Radio.
This new one-hour show will focus on my interactions with the callers who can ask questions and make comments (some Catholic radio shows only allow listeners to ask questions, but not comment). “Right Here, Right Now” is a show about you – what’s important to you, what’s on your mind, and what makes you think. My goal is to meet listeners where they are and take it to the next level!
To be on the show, please call toll-free: 888-701-5992.
“Right Here, Right Now” airs Monday through Friday from 1:00 – 2:00 Pacific (4:00 – 5:00 ET). You can listen online at www.ihradio.org (click “listen live”) or click the link below for a complete list of IHR stations.
Starting today, it will begin airing across the rapidly expanding Immaculate Heart Radio Network on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday, as I finish out the month doing my regular Thursday “Open Line” show. Then, starting October 1st, I’ll step away from “Open Line” and “Right Here, Right Now” will begin airing, M-F, across the entire EWTN Radio network of over 200 AM & FM stations across the U.S., as well as via Sirius-XM Satellite Radio, and globally via shortwave.
I’ll have more info and show updates for you soon, including a forthcoming link to where you can hear archived shows. And if you’d like to listen to any of my “Open Line” shows from the past few years, they are archived at the St. Gabriel Radio website.
Regarding praying for people in purgatory – why should we pray for them?
The caller used melting temperature of a metal….
However, the answer for him is, the temperature can be reached ‘faster’.
God will speed up the process by applying merits from Jesus and the saints, much like MORE fuel to speed up the process.
Greatest show ever.
2-5-13 show —
That “athest” so called lawyer – new york.
One that is “educated beyond his intellegence”
You guys gave him way too much time in spreading the devils words.
Maybe a time limit up front – that they can spread their negative!
My prayers are with you.
Keep up gods work.

Until there’s a podcast URL, this is a great option.
Thanks again, Patrick!
Patrick, I spoke with you yesterday on the show and we were discussing St Nicholas. Do you recall? You had asked me to give up you the”cash value” pertaining to what had occurred over the Christmas holidays. Well, u
I completely misunderstood what you meant and I thought you were trying to get me to tie up my question. But I get it now. So to answer your original question, I prayed an incomplete nice novena to St Nicholas and we had around $750 – $1000 dollars to spend on our family this year. I assure you this was completely unforeseen but I have always believed in a father Christmas. So rest assured, next yeat I intend to properly complete the novena and continue to call on my ally St Nicholas throughout the year. He does indeed have a soft spot for the children of the world.
The peace if Christ be with you

Like others have mentioned – I hope there is a podcast feed url available soon.
I rely heavily on podcasts b/c I work long hours (can’t be online often) + don’t have any Catholic radio stations in my city .. Nashville.
I’m actually listening to you right now on Catholic Answers .. show #5699
Hello Patrick,
I was driving home scanning the radio when I came across your show. You answered a question about The Pope and your faith in him with his greater knowledge to know what is best for people in the region of Palestine.
My comment/concern is not in the the actual topic you were responding to. My concern is this, You were quick to point out that you are not part of the Zionist movement and you made it clear that you are not affiliated in any way.
So you identify that within a religion there are sects which may operate outside the faith. You wanted it be known that you are not a Zionist.
So why did you not point out that Muslims who do acts of terrorism are operating outside of Islam? You grouped them all as Muslim Terrorists. You spoke about the media having their own agenda, yet you too supported the same agenda by terming them as “Muslim Terrorists”. Not all terrorists are Muslim and not all Muslims are terrorists. Just as you were quick to separate yourself from Zionists, dont you think Muslims are quick to separate from Islamists? and Therefore deserve the same consideration and respect? You should not judge a group of people by the acts of a few. If that was an acceptable practice, then Catholics would be known as Child Molesters and Pedophiles. There are misguided and misled (i am no one to say who is good or bad, that is with God) people of every faith, nationality, gender, age group etc.
I apologize if I have offended or upset you in anyway. My intention is to make you aware of your mistake so that you may be more careful here forward. I know you are a servant of God and wish only to whats right to please Him. Peace be with you.
Saw a comment today that put things in perspective for me: Whether marriage is redefined now or later, whether our religious freedom is trampled now or in 10 years, these are not at risk because politicians are getting bolder, they are at risk because our convictions are getting colder.
I like that a lot. And I may quote you on that on the next “Right Here, Right Now” show. Thanks.
Where’s the podcast link?

I’m loving the new show, but I know I won’t be able to catch it every day.

For your final Open Line show, will there be a podcast?
I look forward to the show!
