I checked and the blood did liquify. Also the soccer team from Naples beat the team from Milan. They also got a new Bishop today; so it was a triple miracle for the people of Naples.
I didn’t have a morning Mass today, so I slept in and came over around 10:00am. I worked on the discussion I was to lead over in the Manning center, our senior group meets there. Rita, the moderator asked me to lead some discussions based loosely on the book, “Tuesdays with Morrie”. We had about 28 people and after going around and introducing ourselves; I told them about Mitch, a former college student and his decision to meet on Tuesday with a former professor, who had made a difference in his life and now was dying. I suggested some topics and we started today with our earliest memory of family. It was very interesting. We’re going to meet every first and third Tuesday till Christmas. We are calling it “Tuesday with Father Maury”. I enjoyed preparing for it.
As there was a Mass at 4:10 for the beginning of SOR (School of Religion), we moved adoration and the 5:30pm Mass into the chapel. The place was full. Then we three had supper and now I am over here waiting for a 7:30pm meeting about our inclusion program for those with special needs. The parish and this committee do a lot. Tonight, I think it is early to bed. I have the 8:00am and 11:00am Masses tomorrow.
Good to know you are “pacing” yourself!
I started with a sore throat last night so I’m taking it easy today. Tonight’s presentation is in town so it will be a fairly early night for me, too.
