... as the pope moved up the central aisle on a wheeled platform he uses to conserve his strength ...

I'm sure our pastor would like one of those, too ... or a sedan chair. He was on the verge of incoherence by the 12:30 p.m. Mass today, after the Vigil plus three morning services. I don't think he'd yet been into the Scotch the Grand Knight gave him, though.

Perhaps you have a handyman in the parish who can do this. A good suggestion for the Parish Council.

The Holy Week services can drain even the most intrepid pastor of his physical resources. My heart went out to Pope Benedict who traveled to Mexico, then Cuba, then back to the Vatican just in time to begin a grueling weeklong series of services and homilies, all of which he personally writes. Just thinking about his schedule makes me feel tired ;-) How old a man is your pastor?

My parish pastor, right after the Holy Saturday special vigil/mass, in which not only the new Easter candle with the holy water was blessed, two people were recieved into the Chruch and one other Catholic who has completed her sacrements of intiation, I not only had given to him a large candy Easter bunny, but he bought some Easter candy from a nearby mall Saturday to share. Knew that candy would very much be appriciated bigtime for the sugar to keep awake for a while.
