That's insane! I'll pray for you AND I'll pray for an increase in vocations to the priesthood because it looks like you could use some help!
Psalms 117:14 The Lord is my strength and my praise: and He is become my salvation.
Hope those 29 babies stay happy. ....Nice of you to offer all those Masses. .....Having to be "on," morning to evening, can be draining. Maybe you will have fabulous food, delicious conversation.....and can sneak in a nap!
mmm ... nap ... good ... mmm
Come on Father can't you squeeze just one more thing in that schedule. Oh yeah I forgot, you have to eat sometime!! LOL :)
I will pray that you are not in the obituary column. We need you too much here!!
Prayers your way. I'll remember you while in adoration today!
God Bless!
I recall via earlier posts it was your idea to move the baptisms to outside the weekend liturgies. Clearly your schedule could be easier if such a move had not been made. Guess it proves that for every action, there are repercussions somewhere. And usually we only have to look to ourselves for the responsibility.
Under the previous sacramental hybrid at three baptisms per Mass, it would have taken 10 Masses to baptize the 29 little ones.
It is kinder to new (sleep deprived)parents if baptisms are outside of Mass. Kinder to the babies, too. Babies -- especially those who are nursed -- eat so often when they are tiny that it can be difficult to time feedings and such when there is a Mass involved as (presumably) the time in church is longer. ... This way, they can be content with a full stomach, not cry, stay sweet and look angelic for photos. (Hopefully.)
