First Martyrs of the Church of Rome
(d. 64) The Christians Nero blamed for the burning of Rome and killed in his gardens — sewn in skins for the dogs, or burned as torches for the night, as Tacitus records. Peter and Paul followed them; the Church honors this nameless first harvest.
Holy First Martyrs of Rome, nameless and numberless, pray that our witness outlive our names.
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
Prov 15:1
