Work, play and pray

FROM AN UNDISCLOSED LOCATION ON THE SHORE OF LAKE SUPERIOR... I'm gathered with a group of priests; it's lovely outside and I'm using my iPad, so this will be brief. We're having edifying discussions, including formal talks of a scholarly nature, as well as informal ones. It is not a heavy schedule, however; in a moment, I will offer Mass, then some quiet time before evening prayer, preprandials and dinner, followed assuredly by more conviviality. Yet work is not being neglected; I am checking messages and doing business by phone and email. I will offer Mass today for the people of Saint Rose.
