A day of calm. I spent my web time reading the various corners of Maureen's Religion of Sanity site. Wonderful.

Please continue to pray, especially for your own bishop. Also, join me in special prayer for our Bishop Sklba, tossed so unexpectedly and suddenly into the spotlight here in Milwaukee, that he'll be ready and strong for the meetings in Dallas, and for keeping our archdiocese in good order for the new archbishop, whoever he might be.

We have been blessed beyond our deserving for the last quarter-century; the new archbishop is likely to find us quite spoiled.....
