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

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

Hello friends and welcome back to God's planning.

My name is Father Patrick Mary Brisco and I am today's host. I always

feel a little bit strange about saying that because it makes it sound like there's only

one God's planning host, but that would in fact be not true.

It would be false.

Because there are many God's planning hosts.

Well, there are five God's planning hosts.

Anyway, I'm joined today by my co-host,

Father Gregory Maria Pine, also the Order of Preachers, who's staring at the ceiling looking

as if an angel is about to descend, that would be great.

Has descended, past perfect, already happened, and that angel's name is right never mind that was about to get boastful

Yeah the hosting question is a serious one. I feel like we need to address we need to grab the proverbial bull by its horns because if everyone's a host then no one's a guest

Right it's kind of like the the syndrome evil villain on Incredibles problem.

If everyone's a superhero, then no one is.

Right, so if you make everyone special, then no one's different

and then you're really wondering at the end of the day whether or not

anyone is special. But that's the thing because we all basically do the same

thing so maybe we should just own the fact that we're all hosts and we're all uninteresting.

None of us is a bishop, so technically, you know, our rank in the eyes of the church would be the same on that on that platform we would be the same we're all in solemn vows the order preachers

Yeah, it's about I mean Father Bonaventure is a PhD student, you're a PhD student, so you know.
