Wednesday (St Ignatius of Antioch)

After a trip to my doctor’s office to get some blood drawn, it was a “normal” morning. MP in the cathedral.
Made some technical preparations for the presentation of proposals to synod regarding our companions relationships with other dioceses.
Refined my homily for the synod Mass. It’s now “in the can” (which means it lives in a file folder in the back seat of my car, a routine procedure).
Worked on some details of the upcoming clergy/musicians conference.
Lunch at home. Leftovers.
Weekly scanning/filing chores. Doing this always generates a few secondary tasks, which take up time.
Administrivia.
Refined my homily for this Sunday (St Andrew’s, Edwardsville). It is also now in the can–and you know what that means now.
Worked on a rough draft of a sermon for Proper 25 (October 28 at St Barnabas, Havana).
Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
Dinner from Chine 1, eaten in my office.
Attended the regular monthly meeting of the cathedral chapter. Productive discussion of transition-related issues.
