Met with the pastor earlier this week to go over the many things of Holy Week, who’s\npreaching what, and so on. I’ll do the first of two Good Friday services (in English)\nand preach the Vigil in English and Spanish; he’ll take Good Friday in Spanish and\nthe two masses of Easter morning. Done and done. Visited my spiritual director,\ncaught up on the first seventy-some-odd days of ministry and made my\nconfession. Marriage prep class tonight with four couples. Baptizing a grandson\ntomorrow.
