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

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

Welcome friends back to God's planning.

My name is Father Patrick Mary Brisco,

and I'm joined today by Father Jacob Bertrand Jansick and Father Gregory

Maria Pine. Today we are presenting to you the readings and prayers of the fifth Sunday

of Lent. So we've entered properly into the season of Passion Tide. You may see in your church's

veiled images and statues and perhaps we'll comment on that, but certainly from the readings and

prayers of the church we're preparing to enter more deeply into the Lord's passion.

But before we offer anything profound, Father Gregory, Father Jacob Bertrand, how are you?

I would say that I am doing well. Is there anything that I can add to that? I met another American in Switzerland.

That sounds like the kind of crazed and terrified revelation of somebody who's been like closeted

in a strange country for the past five months and that's because it is.

No, yeah, I'm I met an American this cool couple who lives in Geneva with their three kids and so that's like two

hours away from Freiburg so I we spent time on Lac Lamont which I guess is

Lake Geneva but in French speak and it was it was wild it was like the

first time I'd done that because I've been living under a rock for five months so

yeah I would say that I'm I'm pumped about life, but I can't seem too pumped or then I seem even crazier than I already do.

So yeah, things are going well.

Father Jacoberschre.

I too was trying to think of something exciting and new to say and I didn't really come up with anything even though I had extra time while Father Gregory was talking about his outing, which was riveting, really.

So I did not go to Lake Geneva.
