Happy Pentecost !

Fr. Terry Street
Pentecost marks the end of the Great Fifty Days of the Eastertide season when the Holy Spirit came upon the Apostles as a wonderful and powerful gift from God to his people. The season after Pentecost through the Saturday before the First Sunday of Advent is known liturgically as the “Ordinary Time” of the Christian calendar. The final post-Pentecost Sundays lead to the celebration of the Advent theme of the second coming of Christ. The Last Sunday after Pentecost sound the Advent theme of the reign of Christ. The season after Pentecost is often called “the green season” because green is the usual liturgical color for this period of time. After the “red” of Pentecost, there will be green altar hangings, vestments, and stoles. Theologically, Ordinary Time can be understood in terms of the living out of our Christian faith and the meaning of Christ’s resurrection in our ordinary life. It is within the Sundays after Pentecost that we actually live out our faith between the meaning of the resurrection and the final coming of Christ found in the themes of Advent. This is where our feet meet the road in actively and faithfully living out the Gospel message in our daily, ordinary lives. Although the summer is often a time of relaxed schedules, it is actually not a time to relax in our faithfulness to the messages of the Gospels. The Gospels set our pathways in the love of God and in the love of others. The contemplation of Advent, the reconciliation of Lent and the celebration of Easter should empower us to live, to do the work and mission that God has given us in our daily lives. This is a full task ahead for most of us.

At St. Philip, looking ahead at the upcoming Ordinary Time doesn’t seem very ordinary. We have the Bishop’s annual visit where he will Confirm, Receive and Bless a large number of Confirmands, Receptions and New Members. This is very promising and very exciting. This summer we have two major weddings, another Soup Sunday, the beginning of the Men’s Club breakfast, Youth Sunday, Father’s Day, Game Nights, the upcoming UPS race to benefit Youth Villages, a youth mission trip, and a good deal more of planned and spontaneous activities.

Throughout all these places and activities, let us remember the true meaning of Ordinary Time—to demonstrate and show the “greening” of our faith by how we serve God and others in our daily lives.

 

          In peace,
