THUrsday- Memorial of St. Agnes,

This morning is the Memorial of St. Agnes.  The Mass was celebrated by Fr. Kris, John DeF served, Don provided music ministry from the loft, and I lectored.

The entrance hymn was "Praise to the Lord, the Almighty"
The first reading was 1 Sm 18:6-9; 19:1-7
Responsorial psalm was PS 56:2-3, 9-10a, 10b-11, 12-13 
The Gospel was Mk 3:7-12

During this Mass we especially prayed for the dear soul of Sharon Lewis, who was the Cathedral's social minister until recently.

The recessional hymn was "We Walk by Faith."
About 29-30 people in the congregation received the Eucharist.  This, on a day ~16-18 Fahrenheit...well below freezing outside.

Ran into my choir seatmate, Jen H on the sidewalk after Mass.  Glad to see her!

Went for my half-yearly dental check-up with C and Dr. Dennis.  Great outcome, as usual.

Choir practice tonight, and Jess prepared raspberry bar cookies and chocolate chip cookies!  First night to pick up Easter candy forms.

After choir, spoke with Tita Celi, Mom's friend, with whom she was speaking by phone.  Told her that the cross she gave me was blessed in Philadelphia when Dad brought it this Fall.  She said, "we are in America, the land of Good and Everything."  Always good talking to her.
