Saint of the day
Optional
St Vincent of Lérins
(d. c. 445) Monk of the island abbey of Lérins, former soldier, whose Commonitory gave the classic test of Catholic doctrine: what has been believed everywhere, always, and by all — with true development growing like a body, not changing into something else.

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 green?
Green is worn through Ordinary Time. It is the color of growth and of hope.
Verse of the day
Rom 8:11
