Welcome to Catholic Stuff You Should Know, a J10 initiative. Sing to the mountains, sing to the mountains, sing to the hills.

You remember that one?

I do.

That's a great way to start her off here.

Yeah, we're back.

We're back. This is Father Mike, Father John, and you're listening to Catholic stuff you should know. We've been doing this new rotation and this is our first one back. I know, I first one of the new year we got a full summer ahead to schedule how did it go with you and

Machado for the last four months I think it went real well. Yeah, it was I think it was a good strategy to be able to kind of carry on some of the same theme some of the same vibe and

Just to get to know it more yeah, you know it when it's one-offs for months then you just don't you know get to

spend that same time and and you're here at the seminary so I don't know you get to

spend a little more time

with Jacob and I get to see him once in a while for companions things but this

was really going deep and he's such a cool dude he is a thinker man he's a cool dude is for sure I just gave him he's he's our token hipster in the podcast and maybe in the companions I gave him a Terrence Malik article on Franz Yeager Stata I think that's how you pronounce it.

But it's all this kind of artsy thing he came out in Logos and he was just eating it up and I was like this guy is just

he's never in a soon to be father Jacob which is amazing. I mean we've known him for a long long time. I feel like it's not really the right kind of

gift to give him for ordination. You're supposed to give them an icon or a Bible or offer them a mass or something,

but I think I'm going to get him a T-shirt.

Nice I like it I like it. Yeah he was honored yesterday so at the end of the year

before the ordination season begins here next week we have the guys ask somebody to do their honoring at

lunch so we have a couple honorings today. But yesterday, Jacob's brother Joe

who's in seminary, gave an outstanding,

outstanding honoring of his brother, was great, it was funny, it was profound,

it was, you know, affectionate.
