Sorry about yesterday. Patience was not in large suppy and I just ate some cookies and went to bed.
Some of those cookies were ones I decorated on Saturday night when Fr. Trancone and I joined Patty and Rose Petrone and Molly and Philip at Patty’s house for a great Italian meal and then cookie decorating. We started doing this a few years ago and it is such a delight and is the official Christmas time for me.
On Sunday, I met with the couple whose child will be baptized next week in Brazil. Then, I baptized a happpy little boy, Declan Paul and met his large and enjoyable family. Please keep them all in your prayers.
Afterwards, I had the 12:30pm Mass and asked (although it wasn’t necessary, as they already were) the congregation to join in prayer with the families in Newton, who were at prayer in their homes and places of worship.
I didn’t watch the service and the president; I think I am cried out.
Today, I had the 8:00am Mass and then tried to get some order into this desk. I just finished hearing confessions and when I am done with this (I am using the center computer rather than my office), I’ll go back to the rectory and watch TV.
I will write again tomorrow but then I’ll be in NYC with Maggie till Friday night.
