Happy first day of July!
This is such an exciting month in the Liturgical Year as we continue along in the season of Ordinary Time (which is anything but "ordinary"). During July, we really get to slow down and develop deep habits of rest and growing in the Lord. I can’t wait to celebrate it with you! Here’s an overview with helpful links:
June 22nd - The Feast of St. Mary Magdalene
June 25th - The Feast of St. James, the Apostle
Current Season: Ordinary Time
During the month of July, we continue our journey through the season of Ordinary Time. Here is a helpful article overviewing the season:
And check out my latest guidebook, The Liturgical Home: Ordinary Time. It gives you everything you need to know to celebrate the season of Ordinary Time in your home.
July 22nd - The Feast of St. Mary Magdalene
Mary Magdalene, the “apostle to the apostles,” holds a unique and honored place in the life of the Church. Once healed and restored by Christ, she became a devoted disciple, remaining with Him through His Passion and being the first to witness His Resurrection. Her story is one of transformation, love, and unwavering faithfulness. On this feast, we’re invited to remember that no past defines us more than God’s mercy, and that we, too, are called to proclaim the joy of the Risen Lord with boldness and love.
July 25th - The Feast of St. James, the Apostle
St. James, often called “James the Greater,” was among the first disciples called by Jesus and one of the three apostles present at key moments like the Transfiguration and the Agony in the Garden. Known for his bold spirit and zealous heart, James was the first of the apostles to suffer martyrdom for the faith. On this feast, we’re reminded that following Christ may require courage and sacrifice, but also that Christ draws near to strengthen those He calls. St. James invites us to live our discipleship with conviction and hope, trusting that the journey, though costly, leads to glory.
