Welcome to God's Plaining.

Contemplative Preachers, Contemporary Age.

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

Welcome back to God's explaining. My name is Father Patrick Mary Briscoe and I'm joined

via as we're now fond of commenting by the Magic

Wires. That's probably a new one. I'm joined by Father Gregory Maria Pine

of the Smithsonian Instituteissic Institute.

He is all the way in Washington, D.C.

He shouts very loudly though, so I can hear him here in Providence, Rhode Island.

It's just incredible. Sometimes, I mean, we were on the call earlier and I think somebody cut the string between the tin cans.

Yeah, which made it difficult.

That might explain some of the problems we were having.

Right now in Providence, I've been sitting through with a pastor at the St.

Pius Church, Father James Sullivan,

that's one of my responsibilities, as you know, at St.

I'm at St. Paulist.

And we've been thinking about all the things

that we're going to have to do to allow people to come back to Mass.

And those conversations to me are just really exciting,

they're heartening.

Even though it's going to continue to be some weeks,

the Bishop of Providence is talking about Pentecost, May 31st as a possible back to last date.
