“Jesus spent almost his whole life in ordinary time: listening to his parents, learning a trade, and schlepping off to work each day. Jesus did not eliminate the ordinary; He opened it to the possibility of sanctifying love.Our vocation in this pilgrimage is not to live a perpetual holiday. It is to be as ordinary as Jesus was, for our God loves the ordinary. This means the long labor of loving in the ways Jesus loved: seeing everyone as a You and no one as an it. We are meant to live in Ordinary Time, and to help redeem the time being from insignificance, making it not extraordinary but holy, in the most ordinary ways of all.”~Terrence Sweeney … Art: St. Joseph the Carpenter by Georges de La Tour -- source link
