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

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

Welcome to this episode of God's explaining. I am Father Jacob Bertrand Jansick and today I am here with Father Joseph Anthony Kress. Father Joseph Anthony how is it going? What's up?

Oh my gosh it's we're in Advent man.

I love it so much.

For those of you on YouTube, you will notice I intentionally chose my lighting background

to be Violet because it is the season.

Also I'm a big fan of Christmas lights so I need to mess with lighting and I'm so excited for Christmas. I don't really know what to say to that. I mean I know what to say to, but I think you know what I would say to that.

So we'll just leave it there.

But our listeners don't. Do you want to say anything?

I just don't have seen inviting in my office or in my room.

So I think that difference is a kind of says it all.

There it is.

So, yeah.

We're in Advent and things are going well. We're closing it on the end of the semester so you know I feel like

we always talk about the academic year and things like that but you know what that's what that's the work that I'm engaged in and I think it's important to kind of see how the

ebbs and flows of our life.

So campus ministry is kind of coming to a close.

We're focusing in and preparing our students for

Advent while at the same time trying to prepare them for finals and make sure that they're

supported and taken care of during those key moments of the semester.

And then yeah so things are going, really well. The parishes is doing great and the ministry is doing great. So, yeah, all's groovy.
