HAPPY LEAP DAY 2012............
This is the unique day in time that happens only once every four years, February 29th, "Leap Day", as it is called; that allows those born today to celebrate only a quarter of their birthdays, or commemorate the date on which they were born a day early three out of every four years. Like the Olympic Games or American Presidential Nominating Conventions, Leap Day is a quadrennial occurrence , adding an extra day to the year and giving us an extra twenty fours today to experience life. This Leap Day I am following the same daily routine here at Mercy General Rehab. But how about you ? Are you doing anything different, extra, out of the ordinary, to experience and shape this day that takes place only once in four years duration ? And if you are celebrating a February 29th Birthday, does having the date on the calendar cause you to make your personal solemnity a more pronounced commemoration of the day you were born and the candles on your cake of life ? May this Leap Day bring you Happiness and Blessings whether it is your birthday, or just an extra day on the calendar in this Year of the Lord 2012............Fr. Troy

Waning hours of Leap Day.... Last nite Jay Leno quipped "What's going to make this Leap Year difficult is that it is going to extend the Election Year by one more day." ...guffaw... Today at daily morning Mass I gave the parishioners present a dispensation from their Lenten discipline for the day.
ONLY PRESIDENTIAL POLITICAL JUNKIES WELCOME STRETCHING OUT THE ELECTION CAMPAIGN EVERY FOUR YEARS BY AN EXTRA DAY !!!!!!!!!!!! A LENTEN DISPENSATION FOR THE DAY MAKES SENSE,IF INDEED WE DO SO ON ST. PATRICK'S, ST. JOSEPH'S, AND ANNUNCIATION, FEAST DAYS DURING LENT............
