Welcome to the Ordinary
>> Monday, July 26, 2010
I love feast days. The vestments are white - there is a "specialness" that is in the church - as we gather to celebrate something special - something specific.
Then, we move onto Ordinary Time. In fact, we will be there for a while now - the next feast we observe on Sunday will be the Assumption of Mary, which happens in mid-August.
Parked in the ordinary, we will see green vestments.
The green color of the altar cloths - it reminds me of the green outside at this time of year - green things growing in the summer sun and rains. Producing fruit.
Growing. Producing.
This is a time for us, also, to grow.
Nourished by His body - nourished by the Word - nourished by the ordinary days of our life, lived in hope.
