Yesterday was the Feast of St. Luke the Evangelist, patron saint of healers (doctors, surgeons), and I served at two masses. At the first, at midday here at Seabury, I participated in sacramental healing: anointing with holy oil and laying-on of hands. At the second (in the evening at our home parish, St. Luke’s Church), I celebrated the mass.
Healing ministry exhausts me in any circumstances, but at the end of a long week so distinctly marked by stress and medical concerns, I was utterly wiped out.
Then I wobbled down to St. Luke’s where I offered the mass with special intentions for Rick Gleason, for Fiona and for Turner Junior, for Misako and Margaret, and for all our friends in the care of physicians.

Having read your post I'd just like to give my sincere thanks for thinking about Turner Jr. and me. I'm really touched at your kindness. Please send my best wishes to Margaret.
