Ordinary Time
We are in the Twenty-fifth Week of Ordinary Time — the Church wears green.
The long, green stretch between the great seasons — the everyday of faith, where most of the Christian life is actually lived. Today, though, the Church sets that aside and wears red — for the feast of Matthew Apostle.
