Welcome to God's Plaining.

Contemplative Preachers, Contemporary Age.

Each week, join the Dominican friars as they consider all things Catholic.

Welcome to God's explaining.

Thanks for tuning in this week.

This is Father Jacob Burton Jansick.

As you may know, I am the Director of Vocation. This is Father Jacob Bertrand Jansick.

As you may know, I am the Director of Vocations

for the Dominican Province of St. Joseph

here in Washington, D.C.

And this week I am joined with or by my brother Father Patrick Mary Briscoe Father Patrick say

hello to everyone he's waving you can't see him but he's waving I'm waving

vigorously I'm excited to be saying hello. I thought today for

today for today's episode that we would play, quiz the friar and talk about, you know, this big question about vocation.

Father Jacob Bertran is our vocation director and vocations are literally his business. He's not directing my vocation. Well it's it's settled.

I'm considering it but not directing it. I mean we made promises the same day for life

that that we would we would do this thing called religious life.

But I, you know, it seems like in our culture one temptation amongst people who are living an active Christian life, right?

Catholics that are really committed that are trying to grow in their faith.

Especially in young people, this question about what is God calling me to do what is God calling me to be

kind of rains and and it's an important one people are responding to it but

but they can they can get kind of stuck in it there there's some kind of pitfalls
