Maybe impending retirement is tougher than I think it is. This weekend, Cardinal Edward Egan of New York was admitted to the hospital with severe stomach pain. During examinations, it was discovered that he was in need of a pacemaker.
It is too early to tell whether of not Cardinal Egan will be able to participate in Holy Week activities for the Archdiocese of New York. Also, just three days after Easter, Archbishop Timothy Dolan takes over the helm of New York from Cardinal Egan.
I feel badly for His Eminence. I often listen to daily Mass from St, Patrick's Cathedral in New York while eating my breakfast of Captain Crunch with Crunchberries cereal. He presides on most Fridays and on other special occasions. I know he was really looking forard to Holy Week and welcoming Archbishop Dolan next week. I hope he will be able to participate in some manner in Holy Week activities and the installation of Archbishop Dolan as his successor.
