This was a fairly productive day, but it was mostly in the category of “administrivia,” though I did work on my homily for Maundy Thursday and made a pastoral check-in phone call to one of our clergy who has recently undergone a fairly serious surgical procedure. The highlight of the day was presiding and preaching at the regular 12:15 Mass in the cathedral chapel, this being St Joseph’s Day, and St Joseph’s Day being the second anniversary of my consecration. Of course, everything is under a bit of an emotional cloud, given the news I received Sunday of my brother’s sudden death. I’m not quite firing on all cylinders.
