Boston, Massachusetts (edited)

View From above...

We are wrapping up our time here in Andover, Massachusetts. This is a picture of our RV tucked in close to the Priory at St. Augustine Parish. One from above and one fro the ground. No levitation here, just a great office window across the parking lot.

We turned the RV around so we can more easily head out later tonight.


Yesterday got to visit the Pastoral Center for the Archdiocese of Boston. Cardinal Sean celebrated mass and a priest was welcomed into the archdiocese during the mass. I think the term is "indoctrinated" but I could be wrong. He has been a priest for years working with a group of sisters in the Philippines and has decided to join the archdiocese. There's your technical church term lesson for the day. Hope I got the correct word!
May 13: Nope, wrong word. The correct word is:INCARDINATED and THAT is your catholic term for the month. (Thanks everybody for the emails.)


I was glad to get a chance to thank Cardinal Sean for his example. I was also reflecting on the powerful witness of the priests here in Boston. The strong men who bear the heavy burden of the horrible reputation of those who caused such tremendous harm. I salute you faithful servants - unlike the hired hand, you have remained and continued to walk by faith with way more than just your words.

After a home concert this evening we pack up and start driving tonight to avoid traffic.
Angels line the highway...
