Strange coincidence?

Here at the seminary, we are assigned roles as acolyte, leader, reader and antiphonarian.  The last two are for morning and evening prayer so those names may be unfamiliar.  As reader, we serve as the "lector" for a Mass reading one or more readings and sometimes the psalm if there is no cantor.

The people who assign these roles do not know our schedules or the important days in our lives. In fact, the man assigning roles this semester is not the same man as was assigning roles last semester.

The last time I was reader was 12/6, the three year anniversary of my wife Carmen's death.  The new schedule shows me as reader on 2/10, her birthday.  At the same time, I've had a song stuck in my head.  It is from Phantom of the Opera, "Think of Me"

Think of me, think of me fondly  

When we've said goodbye 

Remember me once in a while  

Please promise me, you'll try
Then you'll find that once again you long  

To take your heart back and be free 

If you'll ever find a moment 

Spare a thought for me

 
We never said our love was evergreen 

Or as unchanging as the sea 

But if you can still remember 

Stop and think of me

I think somebody is trying to send me a message...
