Visitation of the BVM

Morning Prayer at home.
Refined, edited, and printed a working script for my homily at this evening’s ordination.
Met with the Dean over a couple of important but non-urgent concerns.
Began to work on refining my homily for this weekend (Saturday night in Robinson, Sunday morning in Albion and Mt Carmel).
Out the door at 10:45 (the power in the office having just been knocked out by a thunderstorm, anyway) for an appointment with my primary care physician.
Picked up some lunch at Long John Silver’s (not on my usual beaten path, but convenient today) and brought it home to eat. The person at the drive-through window said of my attire, “I like the purple. Nice look.”
After lunch, remained home and complete the sermon work I had begun in the office.
Processed a short stack of emails.
Out the door again just past 2:30, this time headed for Danville, with a stop back at the office to pick up the book that ordinands need to sign after they promise conformity to “the doctrine, discipline, and worship of the Episcopal Church.”
Arrived at Holy Trinity, Danville around 4:40, ahead of a 5:00 liturgy rehearsal and 6:00pm ordination Mass.
Ordained Richard Lewis to the transitional diaconate. We indulged in a surfeit of Marian piety, which plays well at Holy Trinity. Home just before 11pm.
