Have you ever thought about how much power your words actually carry?
In this special 300th episode, the friars are joined by Fr. Gregory Pine, OP, to talk about words, speech, and the deeper invitation behind how we communicate. Drawing from his book Training the Tongue, Fr. Gregory reflects on how our words are not just sounds or information, they can build communion, reveal the heart, wound, heal, bless, and bring us closer to one another.
Together, they explore how speech opens the door to real encounter: with God, with others, and even with ourselves. From the voice of the Good Shepherd to the Word made flesh, this conversation invites us to see language as something sacred, a gift meant not only to avoid sin, but to grow in love, truth, and deeper relationship.
Join us as we learn to listen more deeply, speak more faithfully, and let our words become places where the Word can be known and loved.

The Tears of God
You see a different side of someone when you see what makes him or her cry. Seeing a person weep, and knowing why — the thing he or she cares about so deeply as to be moved to tears — is a deep insight. Lazarus. Jerusalem. Sin. Jesus weeps at these. That tells us something important, for a man who weeps…

Jubilee and Christ the Bridegroom
Who do we belong to? God shows us that Adam and Eve were bride and bridegroom from the beginning. God holds an original identity, which is super important for the meaning of our lives as men and women, for the meaning of our lives as sons and daughters. The covenant of marriage is established in the garden as something deeply meaningful. It’s like a commentary on what we’re made for…
