Recently on my Instagram Feed a friend asked what is #holyordinary and how does it relate to our Divine Liturgy.

Holy Ordinary is life – simple, bare, straightforward – warts and all – yet blessed. Holy Ordinary is eukharistia – a life of Thanksgiving, and contentment. Holy Ordinary is looking for God in the present moment of the ordinary-ness of daily life.

In reference to our Liturgy – let’s focus on our Litanies… fervent supplication – our Litanies orient us toward every day life enveloped in that which is needful – Thy Will be done – in the midst of the sublime foretaste of Heaven which is the Liturgy and the Eucharist. It is simple, true, beautiful and all the while majestic, Holy and sublime.
