There are no coincidences? ;-)
"Ironic, tommorrow's first reading at daily mass is going to be a reading from the book of Esther."
Not really. The Roman Catholic (and Anglican and Orthodox) church calendars are (very) loosely based on the Jewish year, each in some form or fashion.
The Fast of Esther is tomorrow --- 11 Adar, 5767 (Thu 3/1/2007) and Purim is 14 Adar, 5767 (Sun 3/4/2007).
Lots of hung over Jews monday.
