I slept very well last night. Don’t think I coughed much at all. I went to bed around 10pm when I had returned from the Pre-Cana meeting and although I set the TV to go off around midnight. I didn’t see the end of “Unforgetable”, which is a neat show about a woman who remembered everything she ever saw.
I came over to the office around 9 because I had a 10am appointment but he wrote that he didn’t feel well and cancelled.
At 11am I had a funeral for a woman who was born in 1919 in Hungary. She lived through two world wars and the Communist takeover. She left in 1958 by pretending that she and her daughters were attending the World’s Fair in Brussel. She came to this country and raised her daughter. She has grandchildren and great grandchildren. I was impressed by her strength and faith and talked about that at her Mass. A neighbor also spoke and told more about her faith. She was cremated and we went to Rock Creek Cemetery for the burial. It was raining and seemed most appropriate that even creation would be saddened by her death.
When I came home, I took a short nap and then had three Confirmation interviews – all students that I had taught in their 6th grade. It was nice to see how grownup they are. All are awaiting the letters that will be mailed out next Thursday telling them by what Catholic High School they have been accepted. They are excited.
I had a couple that were suppose to come and see me tonight but I called and told them not to come. I spoke with the deacon from their parish and he met with them last night and went over what I would have talked about. I figured that with all they have to do, they didn’t need one more meeting about stuff that they already knew. I will say the Mass at the Cathedral on March 17th but the deacon will preach and officiate at the vows; so he has done all the work.
Instead, I’m off to supper at the rectory, watch a little TV, take my magic elixer and hopefully sleep through the night.
Sounds like you are feeling better….
