Welcome to God's Blaining, contemplative preachers, contemporary age.

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

Hi there, welcome to God's planning. This is Father Jacob Bertrand Jansick and today I am joined by our very own Father Patrick Briscoe Father. How you doing?

I'm great. Thanks for asking Father. How are you?

Hey, I'm well too. Things are good.

We're kind of in summer mode, we're cruising along.

It's great.

All things are great.

Are you through stuff on campus now?

You must be at this point.

Yes, everything is wrapped up and peaceful.

I mean it was just a really wild few weeks.

There were so many changes as we were coming out of the pandemic.

I mean things opening up, right?

Like in churches in Rhode Island here, we've removed the pews,

pulling out distance and masks, mask requirements have changed even on campus.

In our last days of the semester, we had been, we had been masking all times out of doors

and that changed the practice of wear masks or

worn inside of the buildings has changed you know and again some of some some of

the requirements that have been that have been pretty pretty onerous frankly about the liturgy were lifted in the last couple of weeks

so it really felt as even though we were headed towards the end

towards finishing towards the conclusion of the year, it felt new and there was new life, a kind of new vibrancy.
