I have now received notice that the Holy Father will be introducing a new encyclical on the Holy Eucharist on Holy Thursday. I am excited to see this. I hope that there will be bound copies available soon. Then again, the local Pauline bookstore is pretty good about this.

I really didn’t get to do too much for April Fool’s day because I was still too tired from the weekend. I’m booked for about three weekends now. I really like this April Fool’s joke by Mark Shea. I wish I had found something like it to post. I didn’t even blog yesterday.

As I have mentioned before, I have been chosen to be my cousin’s Confirmation sponsor. I was just given information about the retreat and ceremony, and the paper had the following information:
You may wear jeans. Absolutely NO SHORTS, halters, sleeveless tops, tank tops, no stomach showing (You have to be able to raise your hands over your head and not show your stomach). No tight clothing . . . we will be sitting on the floor a lot . . . . Do not bring cell phones or beepers. Purses will be collected at the door when you register and be returned when you leave.
Oh, how times have changed. Then again, I was confirmed in a small town parish where many a parent was present. People colored the handouts with a pencil during the talks, but cell phones and beepers were not a problem. This is probably because they were too expensive back then. I guess the bad part of this is that it is representative of a group of people who are forced to be there. This could be prevented by proper formation.
