Wednesday (St Kentigern, aka Mungo)
by Bishop Daniel
on January 14, 2015
- Took are of some routine monthly calendar tasks, and began preparing for the noon Mass (had to bone up on St Kentigern, founder of Glasgow) while still at home.
- Morning Prayer in the cathedral.
- Continued and completed Mass preparations.
- Prayed over and took an initial pass at the readings for Lent II, which I will have to preach on St Paul’s, Pekin. (Yes, when I do a from-scratch sermon, there’s a long gestation period.)
- Attended to some chores that will eventually collude to make corporate worship happen at the pre-Lenten clergy retreat next month. One of them involved dusting off my familiarity with a music publishing app called Finalte, which sucked up a disproportionate amount of time.
- Presided and preached at the midday liturgy.
- Lunch from La Bamba (“burritos as big as your head,” but I had a smaller one), eaten at home.
- Responded to a few fresh emails before re-engaging preparation for delivering three addresses at the clergy retreat.
- Met for an hour or so with a priest who is in the diocese as a finalist for one of our parishes in transition.
- Returned to retreat preparation, and completed the second of my three addresses.
- Evening Prayer in the cathedral.
