Had a very nice day. I went to St. John’s High School and met with two classes of “scholars”, who have been studying philosophy and reflecting on God and evil. They had great questions and good insights. I really enjoyed being with them.
Through some miscommunication, I missed the 11am Mass, which I was scheduled for (Fr. Percy covered for me!).
Then I went to hear confessions at Stone Ridge. I had a great time but I always do when I go there. The Madams of the Sacred Heart do such a good job of educating young women to make big contributions to the world.
Then I took a nap and went down for supper with the guys but we ate in the kitchen because the parish council was having their Christmas do in the rectory at 7pm. I skipped it and came up here and have been relaxing.
I didn’t have plans for our usual Tuesday supper with Fathers Beattie and Duffy because they had other committments. So I’ll be rested up for tomorrow. I have the 11am Mass and in the afternoon, I’ll drive up to Barnesville for CCD confessions, supper with Fr. Kevin and others, and then the parish penance service.
It’s a good thing I enjoy confessions because this time of year, that’s my life.
