Stuck in White (missed Red … should be Green)
June 10th, 2010 — 11:00am
Easter (liturgical white) season has come and gone.
The Pentecost (liturgical red) party is over.
Now is the extraordinary span of Ordinary Time (liturgical green). That long green run into discipleship. Or at least it should be.
But I’m still stuck on the day after Easter, staring at an empty tomb.
After the hoopla and thrill of knowing the One is alive, I’m thinking on the meaning of an empty tomb.
Poor thing, that tomb. Didn’t even get to keep it’s quarry but a few days. Due to the 100 or so pounds of spices Joseph of Arimethea hooked up, there wasn’t even a smell of decay before the tomb’s resident hopped up and out.
