Finding Our Rhythm – Ordinary Time

Although next in my liturgical lineup of images is Pentecost, it feels right to share my green Ordinary Time one, given that yesterday we remembered St. Patrick.

“Christ with me, Christ before me, Christ behind me, Christ in me…” -from “The Deer’s Cry,” St. Patrick’s traditional prayer

At home within us

You are breath and heartbeat.

In time, help us learn

to listen to Your song,

to dance with You.


This is work in process, part of a collection, “Finding Our Rhythm in the Fullness of Time,” commissioned for Valparaiso University’s Institute of Liturgical Studies gathering in April 2023. https://www.valpo.edu/institute-of-liturgical-studies/liturgical-commissions/
