These lovely dahlias in Petersham Nurseries form a fitting image for the 25th Sunday in Ordinary Time.
The day of resurrection! earth, tell it out abroad; the passover of gladness, the passover of God! From death to life eternal, from earth unto the sky, our Christ hath brought us over with hymns of victory.
I plan to use the other two verses of this splendid hymn by St John of Damascus (he wrote it in Greek) over the next couple of Sundays. I particularly like the third verse which I will feature on Sunday 7 October. I have some other nice flowers to cheer us up!
