As March begins

Today begins the month of March, which will be exciting because on the fourteenth, the day before the dreaded "ides of March", the eighth successor of Lawrence Scanlan will assume the cathedra in our beloved Madeleine: Bishop John Charles Wester.

Apart from the very constructive comments made by readers in response to An invitation and It's not too late, I have little indication as to how what I am writing is affecting anybody, or, if it is even affecting you at all.
