EDITOR’S NOTE:
It has been hard to obtain fresh entries recently. It’s possible that with +F.Atticus taking more naps, access to the Diary has been more difficult.

Dear Diary,
Had to have a quiet week after the festivities. Luis was ordained last Saturday, I confirmed a ton of young folks on Sunday, and then the clergy cookout on Monday. Had to go to the office on Tuesday, for a really long day, but after that….took a few days. Wiped out. The ordination was great, and the reception (and food!) magnificent. I ate way too much. Butch would have loved it all. Fr. Luis kept grinning from ear to ear. But I still have trouble understanding him. Fr. Ernesto, who vested him, still has to ‘translate’ for me.
I’ve set myself up to preach again at the cathedral this weekend — on the Trinity, for Trinity Sunday. The Trinity is like God’s family, and everyone can relate to that!
There’s an old white cape, or cope, at the cathedral with a triangle and an eye on it on the back panel, all embroidered. It’s nice but a little creepy. They bust it out for Trinity Sunday. More confirmations on Sunday. My arm’s tired! The oil smells nice though. It calls back so many good memories.
Sent Fr. Gilbert out to walk Chester today. They were out for quite a while, and Chester took a long nap when they got back. Gilbert took Chester out on Tuesday when we were at the office. Vice joined them in walking around the parking lot. Vice even tried petting Chester. That did not go well.
I wonder how Fr. Tommy is doing.

Instead of a clergy cookout, what does not +Atticus have a clergy golf outing? More fun and more beneficial to the physical well-being of the clergy.
