Saint of the day
Feast
Conversion of St Paul
The Acts of the Apostles describes Saul of Tarsus knocked from his horse on the road to Damascus by the risen Christ. The persecutor became the apostle to the Gentiles, the writer of half the New Testament.
Lord, who turned Paul around on the road, turn me around when I have lost the way.
A feast ranks below a solemnity and above a memorial.
About Ordinary Time
Ordinary Time is the Church's ordered counting of weeks — 'ordinal', not 'ordinary' in the sense of plain. It falls in two stretches, after the Christmas season and after Pentecost, and it is where most of the Gospel is read straight through, Sunday by Sunday.
Why white?
White is worn at Christmas and Easter, and on feasts of the Lord, Mary, and saints who were not martyred. It is the color of joy and of light.
