Ordinary Time- Not So Ordinary

Ordinary Time
                Happy Pentecost!  Tomorrow (Monday) we return to Ordinary Time. But is it so “ordinary?”  We have spent so many days celebrating the Resurrection of Our Lord, and before that gone deep into Lent.  The celebration and appreciation of Our Lord’s triumph continues with Sunday Feasts of the Most Holy Trinity and Corpus Christi.  And let us not forget the Hearts of Jesus and Mary this month of June!
                The church must continue celebrating.  As a friend told me today, “every Sunday is Easter, and every Friday Jesus dies on the cross.”  We must commemorate these days with reverence and gratitude; not just during Holy Week.
                How can we keep the Easter Season alive in our hearts?  It’s not all over.  It’s still happening!  It was only last week during the Ascension that Jesus promised to never leave us.  And we too must promise never to leave Him. 

God be Praised!
