A break from the perpetual coverage of the hurricane is needed. Today we celebrate one of my favorite feast days--the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. It has been a long time since we celebrated the Paschal Triduum, and Good Friday in particular. This annual reminder in September that Jesus has conquered even death itself can be a good boost to our spiritual life. As I prayed the Liturgy of the Hours this morning, I felt a great sense of calm. While the uncertainty of what the hurricane would bring has weighed on our minds this week, today's feast reminds us to keep things in perspective.
The liturgical color for today is red. Do you know why?
Tomorrow (Saturday, September 15) we celebrate the Memorial of Our Lady of Sorrows. The liturgical color for tomorrow is white. Do you know why?
It is appropriate that these celebrations fall back to back. It gives us great food for thought, prayer, and meditation.
