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.
Welcome to the Ordinary.
