It’s already time for a blog.
More than that, it’s also time
for a huge change of season, marked by the end of August vacation time and the
beginning of September and the school year if that is an indicator of the passing seasons for you.
Liturgically, the “Ordinary Time” of
September and October is filled with feast days:
the Nativity of Mary
the Exaltation of the
Cross
Hildegard of Bingen
Matthew the Evangelist
Teresa of Avila
The Archangels Michael, Gabriel and Raphael.
Meanwhile, our readings for Morning
and Evening Prayers range from Kings, Sirach,
Zephaniah, Habakkuk, and Isaiah
to
2 Corinthians and 1 and 2 Thessalonians, and the four evangelists.
Such a menu provides a variety of sources,
something for everyone’s taste.
While
Ordinary Time is ticking away to Advent, take time to enjoy these rich autumn
scriptures
as well as the natural beauty of the season.

Dear Sister thank you for this good blog reminding me of good things to think on and learn from. Change of season -- now we are in the third millenium -- the more I think on this, the more it seems to me that God is asking us to bridge over to where we did not reach before, building peace and love, and finding continuity and strength from those to whom we did not look before, as once with Samaria. Thank you always, God bless.
