Complicated I know but let us rather focus on the stories we hear.

Today we hear the Call of Samuel - one of my personal favourite call stories.

One of the customs I observe is to offer the altar to any visiting priest and he accepted my offer. It was wonderful to have him preside at the Holy Mysteries.

Then I am taking sides. Finally, I am sure that my favourite CBC Personality, Danny Finkleman, is quite happy to be in retirement now! At least he won't have to carry a picket sign. Now there IS a rant that I would loved to have hear
