Twice Blessed
The pastor at the Dominican parish downtown was a delegate to some sort of official Dominican gathering in Rhode Island. For three weeks he sat on commissions and was held captive at endless meetings. He didn't quite put it this way but it sounded like hell. He said that arriving back home reminded him of how blessed he is to pastor here. But in the same sentence he also described himself as blessed to be a delegate. I suppose that is in keeping with St. Paul's admonition to rejoice at all times. Given that there's the phrase "damned if we do, damned if we don't", a double-cursing, it's appropriate there's a double blessing: "blessed if you have endless meetings, blessed if you don't".
