Wednesday (Oxford Martyrs)

The usual: Intercessions, Morning Prayer, tea, breakfast, internet reading, crossword.
Dealt with some issues pertaining to the service bulletin for the synod Mass.
Did the necessary surgery on a “vintage” homily for Proper 25 such that it can be prepared for repurposing at St Mark’s, West Frankfort on the 27th of this month.
Did the same sort of work on a text for All Saints, in preparation for visiting All Saints, Morton on November 3.
Stepped out to grab a gyros lunch for Brenda and me and eat it with her at home.
Took Brenda to her acupuncture appointment.
Allowed by homiletical message statement for Proper 27 (November 10 in Bloomington) to explain to me how it wanted to be developed into a sermon outline. I tried to be cooperative.
Consulted commentaries and did the exegetical work on the readings for Christ the King, when I will be visiting St Andrew’s, Carbondale.
Took a first pass at the readings for Advent II (St Barnabas’, Havana). Prayed over them. Made some notes.
