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

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

Hello friends and welcome back to God's planning.

It is the second week of Lent, which means all of you have already broken your Lenten promises.

Well, maybe you haven't. I have sort of a, I tend to more total depravity in my own view of the goodness of nature, which I realize in some ways as a betrayal of the Dominican tradition.

But I'm a little bit skeptical of all of our ability to do all of this without the immediate act of divine

grace upon our wills so as to fortify us but maybe you are doing well with your

lunch I certainly hope that's the case I hope that you're having a great

Lent you know this Lent of 20, this Lent of 2020, which has never ended.

I disagree with the premise that Lent 2021 is its own thing like Lent of 20-20 has just continued right and we're still in it again.

But here we are on the second Sunday of Lent, which I guess is actually Lent of 2021.

I am Father Patrick Briscoe and I'm joined today by Father Gregory Pine and Father

Jacob Bertrand Jansic say hello to the good listener's fathers.

You first? Oh my gosh she said your name first. Oh really? Is that how it works? I'm embarrassed. Well, it's a pleasure to be with you. I'm Father

Gregory. Is there a way that it works? Well, it certainly didn't work the way we just did it.

No, that's true. That's can cross that one off the list.

Abundant testimony.

I pointed at you, but it was below the frame.

And then I brought it into frame, but it was too late.

And also,

This is why Father Jacob Bertrand makes me write everything out.

I don't do that.
