On Sunday, February 15 , we will be celebrating Transfiguration Sunday (Mark 9:2-9). More importantly, we will be celebrating the Jesus who always came down from the mountain, who crossed the lake, who dared to come into town, who left the garden. The Jesus who came down from the cross to walk among his people once more, and even to cook them breakfast by the lake.
The liturgical color for Lent is purple. This photograph seems appropriate for out of our Lenten season can come a rich and verdant ordinary time. The continuing cycles of fasts, feasts, and the ordinary can help us to live in balance. We learn that the feasts cannot be hoarded for even the finest repast will grow stale. We also learn to not identify too closely with the time of fasts for we know they are not forever either. We can then begin to understand that the ordinary should be savored as the sacred and wondrous gift that it is.
Blessings to each of you.
As always, beautiful and timely.
