The ordinary days of winter feel barren, boring, and a bit dreary. We instinctively look forward to spring, or plan getaways to sunny climates to escape the cold.\u00a0 There doesn\u2019t seem to be much to appreciate in the here and now.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If ordinary time is so inconsequential, why do we have so much of it in the Church?\u00a0 Is it a placeholder between the more exciting seasons of our faith?\u00a0 Or is it something more?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The drab days of January chafe against the grand new year\u2019s resolutions we have just made. Our valient plans and virtuous ambitions are met with the monotonous routine of winter days that do not celebrate our good intentions, but rather seem to try to fold them into the flow of time that continues within our routines and daily duties.\u00a0 January refuses to be our cheerleader, and we are left to fight against the current of daily life, or find a way to adjust our perspective so that we have a reality that is coherent with the world around us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ordinary time has a hiddenness to it.\u00a0 Like the 30 years Jesus spent in \u2018ordinary life,\u2019 there is a value below the surface of the daily routine and cold winter days.\u00a0 Ordinary time teaches us to find the sacred the God has woven into each moment of our lives instead of trying to fabricate it ourselves.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cIf we wish to be united to God we should value all the operations of his grace, but we should cling only to the duties of the present moment. The duties of each moment are the shadows beneath which hides the divine operation.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0 \u2013 Jean-Pierre de Caussade,\u00a0<em>Abandonment to Divine Providence<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>January is full of the duties of the present moment that begin before the sun rises.\u00a0 The gift of winter is hidden in those moments.\u00a0 It\u2019s seeing God below the surface, before the dawn.\u00a0 He comes to meet us in sacred ordinary time, and in those moments, we don\u2019t go out to join him in celebrating the mysteries of his incarnation like we do in other liturgical seasons.\u00a0 Instead, he comes into the dark and ordinary moments of <em>our incarnation<\/em> to reveal his presence in our realities, to share our lives with us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In winter we learn to live the maxim of St. Theresa of Calcutta to do little things with great love, discovering Love himself who is in those little things.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u201cTrue holiness does not mean a flight from the world; rather it lies in the effort to incarnate the Gospel in everyday life.\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0-Pope St. John Paul II<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Gospel lives in the midst of our routines- in the midst of the life God gives us with all the duties and sometimes monotonous circumstances it presents.\u00a0 Discovering Christ active in those moments unites us with him. In January we can, like Christ, rise before dawn to spend time with the Father.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We can examine our hearts to see if the soil he sows Himself in is rocky or thorny, and perhaps needs to be tended to welcome him more receptively.<\/p>\n<p>We can let him heal through us by means of a smile at the office, a loving word to a child, an effort to ease someone else\u2019s burden.<\/p>\n<p>We can feed the 5000 (or however many children you have) with him, making grocery shopping, cooking and clean-up sacred, an imitation of the Gospel moment.<\/p>\n<p>We can bear the insults and crosses that come with a burdened people, slugging through the winter, and respond with love and graciousness.<\/p>\n<p>We can meet our friends who have wounds they would only show Christ through us, at the well (or over lunch or at the coffee shop) and offer them Him who will heal them and quench their soul\u2019s thirst like the Samaritan woman.<\/p>\n<p>We can follow Christ in casting our nets, whatever nets he gives us, and seeing the surprising bounty he brings through it.<\/p>\n<p>We can wash the feet of those around us with Jesus, serving them in ways that honor their dignity and show them that they are loved.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In sacred ordinary time, the Gospel meets us in our lives.\u00a0 Each moment, when we are docile to what God asks of us, becomes an encounter with Christ in which we live our day together with him. Sacred Ordinary time is an extraordinary gift. It\u2019s a time to learn to listen to and follow the rhythm of the silent music of the Holy Spirit in our lives and to live the holiness of each moment joyfully, knowing Christ is here, living it with us.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>To be a good dancer,<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>with you as with anyone else, it\u2019s not necessary<\/em><\/strong><br \/>\n<strong><em>That we

She deeply values learning from the wisdom of people she meets on family missions to the homeless in downtown Atlanta.
