". . . when we say that the Church is a family, we mean it quite literally. The Church is not a reflection of the reality that is "family"—quite the opposite. The family is a reflection of the reality that is the Church." -Fr. Robert Johansen
A weekend of solemnities and a coloring contest
Posted on Jun 22nd, 2006 in Everything else | 1 comment
Tomorrow, June 23rd, is the solemnity of the Most Sacred Heart of Jesus. Illuminated Ink’s coloring contest this month is beautiful picture of the Sacred Heart. It’s a nice activity for a hot summer afternoon and a beautiful visual reminder of the Heart which loves us so much.
And don’t forget a solemnity is a day of celebration, so even though tomorrow is Friday, it’s not a penitential day as usual. In fact Saturday is a solemnity too (The birth of Saint John the Baptist) so technically speaking the celebration starts tonight (solemnities begin with evening prayer of the preceding day) and lasts all weekend!
