Today marks day three of Ordinary Time. But of course, nothing is ordinary during this liturgical season. In fact, I find it to be a great opportunity to be creative and use any of the 34 formularies in the Roman Missal for Sundays in Ordinary Time as well as any of the Masses and Prayers for Various Needs and Occasions and Votive Masses, as pastoral needs may suggest. (and as liturgical norms allow, of course)
In fact, just today at the Chancery Chapel, the celebrant selected the prayers for the Votive Mass for Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest.
Jesus tells a Samaritan woman that all who worship God must worship Him “in Spirit and truth.” (John 4:24) My hope is that, through my personal reflections and experiences on the public work or service of the people, many may not only worship, but also come to know Him in Spirit and Truth.
