ordinary time > wedding missed > etc.
I hate when I do something stupid, especially when it may well hurt someone I care about. Peter and Jackie are married and who remembered their wedding was Saturday? Not me. That's what you call lame. Sorry guys. I'm happy for you - that you found each other and are now connected forever. I remember when Peter was telling me about this girl who worked at the front desk at the Seminary. He just kept visiting her there for some reason, then tennis, then, well then they got married Saturday and I missed it! Shit. Oh well, I'm sure they had a wonderful day.
We're back to Ordinary Time in the liturgical calendar. I think, honestly, this is my favorite "season" - the un-season. I just like the normal, regular rhythm. It's wonderful that it's interrupted throughout the year with seasons of celebration which focus on different parts in salvation history. We need to remind ourselves of these things constantly. I don't think we'll ever be done with that as long as we're here. It's not always that exciting, not always lots of candles and incense, but always there is deep meaning running through every Psalm we pray, every Scripture we read and meditate on, every liturgy we celebrate with the Body. So we keep on.
