    Please pray for my sanity over the next few weeks. Not appropriate to disclose details right now, but I received some strange news today and I'm really, really, really upset about things right now.

    ryand,
    That you recognize both the difficulty of the news and the stress of reaction might indicate that your sanity is quite in tact, but that your composure and coping mechanisms might be taxed above and beyond. Hold onto to you as does God. Realize that external stimulus doesn't have to overwhelm internal integrity. It is quite okay to get mad without going mad. Prayers.

    Thanks to all who offered prayers.

    The short story is that my job was in question due to parish finances and combining positions, and I was sworn to silence and "expected to work as usual" until they made a formal decision.

    Unfortunately I packed up my office this morning - the day after the Dedication Mass of the new church.

    Onwards and upwards.

    Expect a novena on my part. Any particular saint to whom you'd like me to make it?

    Perhaps St. Bernadette would be most appropriate.

    I don't know where you worked, or even what part of the country you are in. But let me tell you I learned long ago that there is accounting, then there is Catholic accounting. The two often have little connection to each other. Financial mismanagement is common. It has amazed me that many priests have so little business and financial training.

    @StimsonInRehab

    Saint Bernadette would indeed be appropriate, and/or my confirmation saint, Saint Dunstan.

    Saint Dunstan


    Providential - the name of my choir back home is the Saint Dunstan Schola. Will be praying for you.
