Good Friday

Devotions in the cathedral, some prayer time in front of the Most Blessed Sacrament on the Altar of Repose, and Morning Prayer in the nave.
Produced and printed the service leaflets for my brother’s funeral next week in the Chicago area.
Refined and printed my homily for Easter (Vigil and Sunday morning).
Walked the Stations of the Cross as a member of the congregation in the cathedral at 12:15.
(Went home for the rest of the afternoon.)
Performed a chore having to do with the ordination process.
Fine-tuned the fourth of my five retreat addresses in the Diocese of Albany in mid-April.
Worked a bit on my homily for Easter VII (May 12 at Christ the King, Normal).
Caught up on some email.
Took care of some routine personal organization chores.
About 5:15 I headed back to the cathedral-office complex: read Evening Prayer, then took part in a rehearsal for the Good Friday liturgy.
Presided (while the Provost preached) at the Proper Liturgy for Good Friday. It was done with dignity and grace.
