Dealing with anti-lifers takes quite a bit of time. I offer that sacrifice to the Lord. It’s the least I can do, right?
We’ve been doing up some church sanctuary renovation, not wreckovation, mind you. This is ongoing, but a report on the progress in just a bit.
The garden is progressing nicely. Just some weeding and watering and occasional planting and harvesting. This is a much needed retreat, if you will, much as the Lord spoke about for the Apostles and Himself.
Sacraments! This past weekend we had 4 Baptisms, 11 Confirmations, 4 first Holy Communions, plus we offered the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass by way of the priest in Holy Orders, as preceded by Confessions, of course. We didn’t have any Marriages or Last Rites. :-)
Various and sundry sit-downs, important, time consuming, very beneficial for all involved, including yours truly.
Research on various and sundry… um… themes… which have suddenly come up and are problems that must be tackled… these have taken most of my time.
I just asked the Lord to give some of my time to you, Father. You are likely to make better use of it than I.
We are praying for you, Father. God bless you and your parish.
