Tomorrow I will have one of the busiest days in my life.

I will go to Green Bay early in the morning to go to mass, then go to Walmart to buy oranges. After that, I'm taking a guy from Germany to our diocesean marian shrine where the Blessed Mother appeared in the 1800's emphasizing catechesis to the young people. After our pilgrimage there, I have a meeting at 1:00; then I need to travel sixty miles after that meeting for a 3:30 meeting with this priest called a "Priest Perceiver" We will talk and through our conversation he will be able to perceive my strengths and weaknesses in regards to ministry which is a part of the seminarian application process. Following that meeting he is taking me out to supper. I then want to visit a priest who is a well known priest thoughout the United States as he beat all odds to found a Catholic medical center, a homeless shelter amongst many others which are operated by the Catholic Church. He suffers from Diabetes, and will be undergoing amputation on Friday. He is known to a few seminarians and those who have developed a friendship and have to a great appreciation of this man. I wish to establish that same relationship as others.

Finally after that I need to be back in Green Bay that evening as I am staff for a retreat called, TEC or Teens Encounter Christ. My four day vacation will be all ministry, as I will be doing that from Thurs-Sun.

I ask for your pryaers, because when I go to that Priest Perceiver I will be driving further south than I ever have before. It is a busier stretch of high way and well I am uncertain of my driving capabilities for this journey. Pray for me and for my safety throughout my travels tomorrow and for all those retreatents!

Thanks so much!

How did it go, Ed?
