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.
