Friday

Usual weekday AM routine. Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
Spent the first big chunk of the morning hand-writing greetings to clergy and spouses with nodal events (birthdays, anniversaries) in May. Put a couple of them in the mail right away because they’re coming up soon.
Substantive phone conversation with one of our parish clergy over a couple of practical matters.
Spent the rest of the morning in a deep dive in commentaries on Mark’s gospel, chapter four, as part of preparing to preach on June 17 at St John the Baptist, Mt Carmel.
Lunch at home. Leftovers.
While still at home, took part in a video conference call meeting of the Forward Movement board.
Back at the office, Paige and I worked on recording the next segment of my catechetical video series on the marks of discipleship.
Got back to, and completed, my exegetical work on the passage from Mark 6.
Conferred with the Archdeacon on a small range of issues in advance of his departure next week for six weeks in Sicily.
Friday prayer: Ignatian meditation on the daily office gospel reading.
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
