Greetings, hope all is well.

And here we are in Ordinary Time once again. Time waits for no one.

Ordinary time may make us feel like we are just that “Ordinary”. But when we look at it we could not be further from the truth. Yes, we can be ordinary if we so wish. But that is up to us and how we look at who and what we are.

Martin Luther reminds us, “Every occupation has its own honor before God. Ordinary work is a divine vocation or calling. In our daily work no matter how important of mundane we serve God by serving the neighbor and we also participate in God’s on – going providence for the human race.”

Ordinariness can be a state of mind. We and only WE can change that. We can begin to see that whatever work we are about it is about building up the Kingdom of God here on earth.

Peace and All Good,

Bros and Srs of the

Franciscan House of Prayer.
