Health comes first, I guess.
I have been struggling with my bronchitis and with the weather bouncing so erratically, it has been difficult.
The bishop was to be the celebrant of this evening’s Mass, the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, so I asked him if he would mind doing it without me present. I need the time to hit the sack and get some restful sleep so that I can be as strong as possible for the services of Good Friday as well as the Easter Vigil Saturday night.
He agreed so I skipped the Mass this evening and, instead, stayed in the house to rest.
My parishioners and friends all say that was the best decision for me but it feels like such a defeat. I may as well get the rest that I need so that the next few days become more possible.
