Ordinary Time

I was struck this morning that we have 4 weeks for Advent, 40 days for Lent 50 days for Easter -- what about Pentecost? Then I realized that the season for Pentecost is Ordinary Time -- the rest of our lives. So here is the Pentecost Sequence as a reminder:

The Pentecost Sequence

Come, Holy Spirit, come! And from your celestial home shed a ray of light divine!
Come, Father of the poor! Come, source of all our store! Come within our bosoms shine.
You, of Comforters the best; You, the soul's most welcome guest; sweet refreshment here below.
In our labor, rest most sweet; grateful coolness in the heat; solace in the midst of woe.
O most blessed Light divine; shine within these hearts of yours, and our inmost being fill!
Where you are not, we have naught; nothing good in deed or thought; nothing free from taint of ill.
Heal our wounds, our strength renew; on our dryness pour your dew; wash the stains of guilt away.
Bend the stubborn heart and will; melt the frozen, warm the chill; guide the steps that go astray.
On the faithful who adore and confess you evermore in your sevenfold gift descend;
Give them virtue's sure reward; give them your salvation, Lord; give them joys that never end.
Amen. Alleluia.
