Welcome to God's Plaining.

Contemplative Preachers, Contemporary Age.

Each week, join the Dominican friars as they consider all things Catholic. The Oh, Welcome back to God's planning. My name is Father Patrick Brisco and I'm joined today here by the chaplain of

undergraduate and graduate students of the University of Virginia, Father Joseph Anthony

Chris. How are you doing Father Patrick? Virginia, Father Joseph Anthony Cress.

How are you doing, Father Patrick?

I think after all these episodes, we are finally on an episode together, which is crazy.

It's taking us this long, but it's good. This is really our first episode together?

I went through the archives and I looked at it and yep this is it. I think I've been on with every other friar but you.

So Christmas should be an appropriate time for us to finally jump on together.

Wow, this is amazing.

So we have talked about doing episodes together basically for months then.

Yeah, I mean, this project has been in the works for the greater part of a year,

and we've been what releasing episodes for you know four or five months now and now we're

together on it which is hilarious. It literally took the nativity of the word to bring us together.

That's exactly right.

The incarnation of the

the Eternal Word, then bam, we're together, so it's good. It's real good.

Well, we should say then at the very outset of our episode,

Merry Christmas to all of our listeners.

Yes, Merry Christmas to all and to all good night.

Now that's what we say at the end.
