GOD, JUST AS WE WEAR GREEN
on Saint Patrick’s Day,
you too seem to be a wearer of green.
Clearly it is your preferred color in painting creation.
No wonder green is the liturgical color for Ordinary Time, calling us to make the ordinary, extraordinary.
Your own vestments are woven of moss and fern,
celebrating your promise of making the whole earth your “emerald isle.” Amen.
- W. Paul Jones
