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

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

Hello and welcome back to God's planning.

I'm Father Gregory Pine joining you from

Freiburg Switzerland here with Father Jacob Bertram Jansick and sunny

Washington DC. Father Jacob Bertram, how are things?

Fine.

I don't know if things are sunny.

The blinds are closed, so it was kind of sunny earlier and it kind of got cloudy and then

it was really windy, super windy, like 25 mile an hour winds with like 50 mile an hour gusts.

So I can hear the wind but that's it probably not you probably weren't looking for a

weather report but you got it so I'm I'm glad to receive a weather report

sometimes on my little weather app, I have my hometown, I have Washington, D.C. and I have Freiburg, Switzerland,

and when I go to check the weather in Freiburg, I'm like, oh, yeah, it's it's you know negative a thousand and then I look at

Washington DC and it's always like 78 degrees and that causes me great anguish

whoa emptiness and pain.

But that's okay because I can sew myself with chocolate and cheese and time pieces,

because such as life in Switzerland, it's just bountiful in those three categories of things.

That's great.

None of which is human affection.

Actually, a cool thing that I did recently into insulin was I went on this hike in this

Canton, which is like a state called Valle, and I hike next to a glacier for a long time.
