Goodbye, gloria.
Farewell, alleluia.
Hello, Lent.
It was a bright, warm, and sunny morning in the Pacific Northwest. A few fruit trees in the neighborhood have even started blossoming. What a strange early spring.
As we were all singing the Gloria for the last Sunday of this season of Ordinary Time this morning, I felt as if we were packing away the rest of the winter decorations. Ash Wednesday is coming!
