Hello everyone.  I hope you are well and keeping safe.  I could imagine how much everyone looked forward to the weekend before this pandemic.  Even if you weren’t going anywhere, it was still the weekend, a time when things slowed down and, well, it wasn’t a regular week day.  On the other hand, I know there are many who work weekends and the days simply blend together until you get a break.  

Your priests look forward to the weekend as a beginning, as an opportunity to celebrate with you more sacraments like baptism, marriage and confession.  They look forward to the weekend as a way of blessing the week to come, especially on Sunday at Mass.   

We all have our ways of looking at the weekend, however you do, have a good one!  

I found this quote from St Jose Maria Escriva very insightful.  It reminded me of being a kid and saying to anyone who would listen, “I am bored!” And of course, no one wanted to listen!  I think we often fall into this trap as adults as well.  

Enjoy the rest of the day!

“You're bored? That's because you keep your senses awake and your soul asleep.”
― Josemaria Escriva
