Assumption of Mary. My pastor has the same sermon for every occasion involving the Virgin Mary. I don’t think he realizes he’s doing it - he’s 70 and getting drifty.
Ahh, I see. I’m not hip to all the various traditions, so, as far as special church days go, I pretty much stick with the Big Three: Christmas, Easter, Pentecost.
Bummer your pastor’s in a sermon rut, like that. Prayers that his relationship to God becomes more vital, and spurs the flow of some fresh “Water” for the flock.
Checked my Ordo Kalendar and yup -- Assumption of the B.V.M., liturgical color: white. Tomorrow is St. Joachim, Father of the B.V.M.
