I slept great last night with the c-pap and was over feeling refreshed for the 7:30am Mass. We started in the lobby and then I walked around and bless palms and by the time we got to the altar, I was tired. After the Gospel, which was the Passion, I sat down and preached from the chair. By the end, I was really tired but we had confessions for the School of Religion and so after that I came to the office and relaxed. I used the oxgyen and was fine.
Since I had the 12:30 Mass and a repeat of the service, I put the oxgyen out by the chair and used it during the readings. It seemed to be enough. The Mass went well.
Afterwards, I had the baptismal class at 1:45 and had 14 couples. I really enjoy doing this class where we describe the ritual, which many are too nervous to enjoy the day of the baptism.
I came over to the rectory, ate and then spent the last 8 hours relaxing on the computer and watching TV. I was glad not to have to do anything.
I did send out some information about the cruise from Baltimore that I hope to organize for November.
Tomorrow, I switched Masses with Fr. Jim. I will take his 8:00am and he will take my 11:00am. I have the funeral for Mrs. Edith Wilson at St. James’ parish in Mt. Ranier and tomorrow night I am giving the presentation to the RCIA. I will try to write tomorrow.
