Today was a busy day for me.
I had the 8:30 a.m. Mass at the parish followed by a 9:30 a.m. Mass for the Seniors’ Group which was followed by a Morning of Reflection. At 12:00 Noon, I had a Funeral Mass and left the parish around 1:00 p.m.
For the Morning of Reflection, I told the seniors that they had two choices. I had a presentation all worked up and ready to give to them OR they could choose to have an open-forum question and answer session regarding the faith. They were intrigued with the idea. One person asked if they could have both and I said we could start with questions if they wished and if the questions fizzled out, I could go to an abbreviated presentation.
They accepted.
We never made it to a presentation. They had some really good questions and it appears that they enjoyed the morning a lot. It made me feel really good. On top of it, I have a presentation in my computer that I can always pull out some other time. Win – Win. 🙂
Tomorrow is my last day covering the parish. I have the 8:30 a.m. Mass and then return to the condo to do laundry and pack my bags. Friday morning, I leave for the airport. I’m going on an annual birthday cruise. Another win – win.
