Rogation Wednesday (St Monnica)

A reasonably routine weekday morning … except I forgot my office key at home and had to go back an get it because nobody else was there yet. Of course, by the time I got back, people were there.
Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
Consulted with the Archdeacon on a couple of ongoing issues.
Consulted with the Administrator on some of the details of some significant technology upgrades we’re in the midst of (new network copier/printer, more robust wifi, two new computers).
Prepared to preside and preach at the noon Mass.
Attended to some of the planning details of two upcoming ordinations.
Took a phone call from a prospective candidate for one of our vacant cures.
Spoke by phone with the Dean of Nashotah House on a couple of matters.
Began drafting my homily for this Sunday (West Frankfort and Harrisburg).
Celebrated the midday Mass, keeping the feast of St Monnica.
Lunch from La Bamba, eaten at home.
With various interruptions, continued working on this Sunday’s sermon.
Spent the last hour of my time in the office wrestling with software issues. Apparently, my music publishing software, which I rarely use, doesn’t play well with the latest version of MacOS. After discovering that the hard way, I purchased and began downloading the updated version of the software (what a racket), but didn’t quite finish a successful installation. This project was resumed in the evening.
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
