"Dry season?" As Fr. Joseph once told me: There is nothing ordinary about ordinary time for this is the time when we must be ever more vigilant. It's easy to be vigilant during the Holy Seasons, but Ordinary Time is the great time of spiritual warfare.
BTW, I really hate to use the N-word here, but why is it that no Lutheran pastor in any sermon or talk regarding Mary can bring himself to call her "Mother of God." Why must it always be "Mother of our Lord?" I grant its root in Scripture, but the fear, nay refusal, of using this appropriate and theologically profound honorific is hauntingly Nestorian.
