Welcome to God's Plaining.

Contemplative Preachers, Contemporary Age.

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

Welcome to God's Blaining in this Sunday's episode of our Lexio de Vina during this COVID-19 quarantine. We are on Palm

Sunday kicking off Holy Week and I am Father Jacob Bertrand Jansick. I'm joined

by Father Gregory Pine and Father Patrick Brisco over there in Providence, Rhode Island.

So as we've been doing these past few Sundays, we are going to walk through, read through the readings for the day and share

our reflections, our thoughts, those sorts of things with you hopefully as your home, I'm not able to get to mass

or to get to church that this can be a way in which

you are able to meditate and pray on the readings,

prepare for spiritual communion, these sorts of things.

So with that, why don't we begin with this Sunday's collect?

In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, Amen.

Almighty ever-living God, who as an example of humility for the human race to follow,

caused our Savior to take flesh and submit to the Cross,

graciously grant that we may heed his lesson of patient suffering, and so merit a share in his residence. Gracie

grant that we may heed his lesson of patient suffering,

and so merit a share in his resurrection.

Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God forever and ever.

Amen.

All right, we're going to roll right here into the first reading.
