Welcome to God's Plaining.

Contemplative Preachers, Contemporary Age.

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

Hi there, welcome to Godsplaining.

This is Father Jacob Bertrand and I am joined with Father Gregory here at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C.

How you doing, Father?

Let's see. I'd say I'm doing grovely. So I'd say well to quite well. We're here at the end of January.

Another month has come and it has nearly gone. Time passes, time flies. And we're being renewed all the day here. So celebrating

mass and studying away and traveling for fun reasons.

You have anything fun this past month?

January, time of exciting travels?

Not terribly exciting travels in January.

You and I were the only real yeah fun travel I guess in in January was way at the beginning just for the new year when you and I were in Phoenix P Pahonix, as people might say for SLS.

But otherwise, it's been kind of just being in DC, working here in DC.

But as the month is coming to an end February begins kind of the manic season of traveling again so you know

you have a vocation weekend lined up location weekend is in about two weeks from now, middle of February, it's the perfect weekend.

It is Valentine's Day weekend.

Get out!

It begins on Valentine's Day.

So you got to make a choice.

Didn't we come to a v location weekend on Valentine's Day?

The same one, many years ago.
