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 planning. I am Father Jacob Bertrand Jansick and I am joined today with or by Father Gregory Pine say hi Father Gregory.

Hello how you doing? I'm doing pretty well thanks yeah let's see back in DC

both of us had some different kind of travels, peregrinations, but just, yeah, plugging along.

Paragrinations.

Yeah, it's like a fancy word for pilgrimages or wanderings,

but I heard Father Thomas Joseph say it at one point

and I thought, yeah, it's cool.

So then I repeated it.

There you go.

I just think of Peregrin Falcons.

Which is a related concept in some tenuous fashion but we don't need to

explore that I don't think. No I think that's fine yeah. Okay yeah so besides our

peregrinations what's going on on in your neck of the woods?

Let's see. So I have begun working on my dissertation and it's about, so it's about

Christ, the Lord Jesus Christ,

specifically about how Christ saves.

So you hear in conversations about salvation

a lot of things about merit and sacrifice, satisfaction, redemption, all these different kind of paradigms for

understanding how it is that the Lord saves us from our sins.
