Welcome to God's explaining.

God's Plaining.

Contemplative Preachers, Contemporary Age.

Each week, join the Dominican friars as they consider all things Catholic. Hello and welcome back to God's planning. I am Father Gregory Pine joining here from Switzerland and we have Father Jacob Bertrand Jansick

in Washington DC.

How are things? Father Jacob Bertred.

Yeah I'm good. I was actually hoping for you to say something. Say hi

Father Jacob Richard so I could have pulled the line. I was actually hoping for you to say something like say hi father

Jacob Richard so I could have pulled the line of like hi father Jacob

Richard but you know you've done before so clever but you know I'm well

thanks for asking things are things are going all right, nothing terribly new or exciting, but yeah, just kind of carrying on here in DC. semester started and we are just kind of cruising ahead through like now a cold well for for DC it's cold now but it's not really

cold in the grand scheme of things but a cold DC so that's it nice and vocation things

good bad indifferent excellent categorize it. Nice. And vocation things, good, bad, indifferent, excellent, catastrophic, I'll give you all kinds of options.

Yeah, thanks. I guess my attitude towards them is probably indifferent, but they're going well enough.

So, yeah. but they're going well enough so yeah no things are well things are going well so kind of the

spring gets a lot busier in the application world so that's what we're doing now. We're looking forward to

hosting our vocation weekends in February and April, taking all the COVID precautions that we need, but we did

that in the fall and it turned out to be really great so we're doing the same in the spring and that's kind of it on the vocation calendar of events and that sort of thing but at least good enough and allows men a glimpse of our of our life

and that so yeah yeah what's new in Switzerland probably not much huh not

much people are doing things they're saying things and languages that I barely understand. I'm smiling when they do and nodding unless they raise the inflection at the end of that sentence and then I say yes of course

unless I can recognize a word in that sentence to which I do not agree and then I say

hmm hmm interesting and then I just wait for them to solve their own problem.
