One of the things that helps keep my aging mind sharp as a tack is trying to remember when I celebrate Mass what diocese I am and the bishop’s first name of that diocese. As you may or may not know, the priest when he prays the Eucharistic Prayer must mention the first name of the bishop of the diocese where he is celebrating Mass. When I celebrate Mass in the Diocese of Charleston it is Jacques Fabre-Jeune, when I am in the Diocese of Savannah, it is Stephen Parkes and when I am at Parris Island or any US military installation in the world, it is Timothy Broglio. It’s easy to have a “senior” moment at that point in the Eucharistic Prayer….But no matter where I am, my bishop is the Bishop of Savannah, currently Bishop Stephen Parkes, or is it……
