Been on a retreat led by Fr. Pine - it was good!

I loved their retreat in June…highly recommend any retreat hosted by these incredibly intelligent men. I recently filmed a couple of videos for The Cathedral of Christ the Light in Oakland, and all I could think about was how hard it is to be on camera and sound this smart and confident!

i love your Podcast , thanks you brothers of the dominican order

It is so difficult to be a real Christian, but i learn a lot with you brothers ❤️‍🔥

Awww...Fr. Jacob-Bertrand, we wanted to hear you sing 🎶

My guess is that he has a lovely voice.

This chat was very timely. Getting ready for my first 5-day, silent retreat and was feeling a little nervous (about the silence). Now i feel better about it. Thank you! God Bless 🙏

Ive been reflecting on my life, my vocation and how it’s structured. Probably a year ago now I stopped dating. 38 year old devout Catholic male and single. It’s not that dating wasn’t working out or that i didn’t have any prospects because I fell off the ugly tree and hit every branch down. It was more that it wasn’t filling the God sized hole in my heart and I just felt this stir from the Lord to “stop fidgeting”. I say that as a setup for how my day is orchestrated or how God has orchestrated my days. Wake up, I listen to lauds as I make coffee, verses for the day, rosary. I hit the gym. Then mass at noon. I work from home so I work for a couple hours. 3pm chaplet of divine mercy. More work. Dinner. More prayer. Spiritual reading. Then I geek out on catholic apologetics or conversion stories on ewtn. Prayer before bed. And then bed. And sometimes I stop and think, “wait…. Is this weird for a lay man to have his days structured like this?” What Father Pine said gives me solace. That heaven is contemplative and if God willing I get there, I’ll recognize it by how my day and days are structured around God

The LORD's opinion matters over others' criticism: Exodus 20:8-11, 1 Samuel 15:22-23. God bless you both in Jesus precious name.

I like urban too. Art galleries are quiet, beautiful, parks + cafes are nice alone. You can appreciate people without interacting with them

Good talk! Hated to miss your June retreat.

Oh I have read The Power and the Glory many times.

Silent retreats with the Trappists are the best

I wish you could address what is happening in the Vatican. Will the current Vatican synod change church doctrine? I think Pope Gregory the Great said, "No one does more harm in the Church than he who has the title or rank of holiness and acts perversely."

Retreat. Yup .

Kundera died today...no, it was 2 days ago my feeds are messed up. 😮

What religion wears this garb . Just wondering

They’re Dominican Friars (from the Order of Preachers), part of the Catholic Church! :)

Either you are of your Father in heaven or, you're of your father satan. To lose the latter, you must be born again in Jesus Christ . No religion or ritual or payment of any kind can begin to pay our sin debt to God.
