Wednesday (St Clement of Rome)

Task planning, as well as substantive attention to an emerging pastoral issue, at home.
Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
Prepared to celebrate and preach at the midday Mass.
Attended to that same pastoral issue, via a couple of phone calls and an email.
Gathered and duly submitted expense documentation for my trip to Mississippi last week.
Looked around at various pockets I might pick and put together some short-term financial aid for one of our postulants.
Scanned the pile of items in my physical inbox.
Finally gave up on writing any birthday/anniversary notes to clergy and spouses with nodal events in November, and received the December stack.
Went over to the chapel to celebrate Mass, but it was one of those relatively rare occasions when nobody showed.
Lunch from La Bamba, eaten at home. Stayed home to work for the afternoon.
Finished tagging and organizing the items I scanned before I left the office.
Dealt with correspondence from “national church” officials regarding the diocese’s relationship to the budget of the Domestic and Foreign Missionary Society (aka “the national church”).
Kept an appointment for a donation of red cells at the blood bank.
Evening Prayer in my recliner.
