From The Pastor's Notebook
And so we transition from the Easter season to what the Church calls “Ordinary Time” – as though “ordinary” is a word to describe our life after a memorial or extended celebration!
In the days and weeks and months to come, life will be far from ordinary. What I mean by that is there will be many challenges facing each of us as well as circumstances that are out of our control. Some of us will face
disappointments or serious medical situations, loved ones departing this life as well as challenges at work or with family. Life is difficult you know. It will be in this so called “Ordinary Time” that we will have to reach back to the fading memory of Easter joy to allow faith to
support and fortify us.
The holidays are a wonderful experience designed to carry us through the challenges and difficulties of the rest of the year. So Easter isn’t over; it continues to be our strength not just for 50 days but for every difficult moment every situation where we need the presence of the risen Lord as our strength.
So the candy may be gone, the flowers faded and the experience of Easter waning but it is the risen Lord that continues to give us strength
and purpose each and every day.
