In his reflection for this 12th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Tony Crescio reminds us that in our pilgrimage with God this side of eternity, there is no such thing as what we normally would think of as ordinary time. Tony explains this in light of our first reading from the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah. Therein, we find an individual totally committed to God and to living out His Word, regardless of the difficulty or personal cost, because of love for God.
