Every year the sight of footpaths lined with shrivelling Christmas trees, lying strippedof the last remnants of the season, gives me a tinge of sadness at the realisation thatthe Church enters once again ‘ordinary time.’ In reality, ‘Ordinary Time’ is far from aliteral description, but a new season and opportunity to more deeply contemplate themystery … Continue reading The Magi lead us into our ‘Ordinary days’
