I spent last night in adoration and then studying for our first period exam in Catholic Spiritual Traditions. This exam is all about remembering lots of details and this old, slow brain does not do that well, so lots of prayer and lots of repetition are the only ways I know to pass this exam.
Today, Morning prayer, exam, and a double class of Liturgy, then Mass. After lunch, I am taking three of my brothers to the airport. Later this afternoon, I have a meeting with my Academic Adviser. Finally, after dinner, I'll head up to Westford to be ready for my Triduum duties there starting tomorrow. Lent ends with the start of Holy Thursday services tomorrow.
I am counting my blessings...
Like this one, last year at this time, I was somewhat perturbed that I was not being used as a Seminarian for the Triduum. This year, through God's grace, I have the gift of spiritual indifference. I don't care how my talents are used, I don't need to be in an alb and on the altar. Just use me Lord.
As far as I know, I am leading Morning Prayer on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. I am playing the organ for the Thursday and Saturday. I am singing with the choir on Friday. I am intoning the "Behold the wood of the cross..." on Friday. I am lighting the bonfire on Holy Saturday. That's enough for me. If I get asked to add or drop something, that is OK too.
