I thought I’d let you know what the rest of Saturday was like. I got up around 8am and went over to the office. I had a Baptism in the Church at 10:00am. She was darling. Her name is Mary Margaret and she has a large clan. Her great grandfather, 92 year old Doctor was there as were lots of relatives from various states.
Then I had the 11:00am Mass, which was well attended and the reading today reminded us that the Cross is always part of a disciples’ life. I think I gave the congregation hope that it leads to Resurection.
Then I had a Baptism in the chapel at noon. She was adorable. Her name was Rory Elizabeth and she had an equally adorable 3 year old sister named Bridget. Again, a nice large clan.
Then at 1pm, I had another Baptism in the church. She couldn’t take her eyes (which were beautiful, brown, and large) off of me. She was Audra Karen and smiled at everything I said. She had relatives from Michigan and Ohio. I love when I welcome a child from a large family into the larger family of the Church.
Then I had lunch and took a nap.
Had confessions at 4pm and the 5:30 Mass. And now I am going to bed early as I have three Masses at St. Mary’s in Barnesville tomorrow and a visit with the Favrets and then two Baptisms at 2pm back here at Blessed Sacrament. Again, I’ll go to bed early and sleep in because I have the 11:00am Mass on Monday. I feel like this weekend I really have been “priestly”.
No WONDER you didn’t have time to post to your blog!!! You jam more into a day than the average person does in a week! Training to Philly to deliver a marriage certificate takes the cake! Oh, I know, there was a movie and dinner in the mix….
I am very happy that you are feeling well enough to do all this! God is good!!!
