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

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

Welcome to God's planning. My name is Father Bonnementier and I am joined by Father Gregory Pine who is in the Alpine region if that's right in Switzerland

How are you doing Father Gregory? That is right. yeah, yeah, I'm doing well.

I am in the Alpine region of Switzerland.

I think Switzerland is a pretty small country.

So you can always at least see the mountains,

unless you're like in a basement covered in a bunch of

blankets and but then for the most part you're in the mountains which is

which is awesome because if you want to go hiking in Washington DC you have to get

on I66 and then you know spend half of your life in traffic and then

eventually arrive at a mountain whereas here I can like roll I mean that's a mixed

image because if I were rolling I would be rolling downhill and then I would be getting further away from the mountains.

Regardless I'm in the Alpine region it's good to be here. How are you? I'm doing well. I mean not the Alpine region. I'm in the city region so DC the belly the beast you could say and

it's it's unseasonably cold I suspect it's probably in the 20s or 30s last time

recently so it's been it's been a cold we didn't have a

a cold winter until recently but it's nice I don't mind the snow and I like the

cold so it just means outside bundled up which is great it reminds me of growing up in Buffalo, New York and

although not that is people think Buffalo is a really cold place but it's not as cold

as Wisconsin. If you're from if you're listening and you in Wisconsin, hats off to you.

Well, leave your hat on.

My hats are off to you when I'm indoors because it is cold out in Wisconsin.
