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 in this episode of guest planning. This is Father Jacob Bertrand and today I have Father Gregory here with me

Still in DC not yet off back to Switzerland. Just sitting in like a whitewashed room. It's really great. How you

do you follow Gregory?

I'm doing well, thanks. Yeah, I would talk at greater length and expatiate upon the whiteness of my wall or the otherwise

uninteresting nature of my surroundings but in so doing I would be taking time from our

guest so I will now lapse into silence great to be. Excellent. All right, today we have with us Mr. Victor Sweeney who is a funeral director in Warren, Minnesota. You may be wondering why I being from D in the East Coast why I know someone from

Warren Minnesota and why we're talking to a funeral director and I will answer those

questions right now. Well I don't know Victor but for meeting him online through email and then through phone call, but found him, I guess we can say found you. I don't know if that's the right way to say, like found you like you were lost and we found them on YouTube actually on the wired

channel on YouTube where you were I guess doing like a Q&A thing on on that channel on Wired like three months ago and it said like questions like

mortician answers questions about death or whatever was was like

hmm interesting and then I saw when I clicked on the mug of Benedict the 16th and I was like that's our guy here he is so

Welcome. Welcome to God's planning. It's great to have you

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you fathers. No, yeah, the mug there was kind of a secret all sign. I was hoping somebody would pick up on it. So good work.

Here I am. Yeah, it was me out of all the people in the world for better for worse. It was me so yeah, it's great to have you on the show and really excited to talk about some like end of life death things from a Catholic funeral director is mortician still a

word that would you describe yourself as a mortician is that like pass a or you know

it my license says mortician but I most people call it funeral directors it sounds

nicer it's less like that's true settling and scientific so funeral director is good but either one's fine.

Yeah, you know I guess you want to get the clicks or efficient.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's that's probably what got it and you we're going to give Wired a run for its matter.
