Theme – Entering through the Narrow Gate
The Liturgical colour theme is green for Ordinary Time. Our flower arrangements this week are composed of the colours green with dark blue, brown and white.
Green symbolises praise, spiritual growth in Christ, nurtured by the Church and the Gospel. Green represents abundance, new life, anticipation, new beginning, flourishing healing, restoration, and hope. The “narrow gate” in the Bible often evokes symbolism related to discipline, sacrifice, and humility, and could be represented by dark blue and brown. Dark blue symbolises seriousness, depth, and introspection, which are qualities needed for a life that follows the narrow path. Brown represents earthiness, humility, and simplicity, all of which are important when entering the narrow gate. White, as a symbol of holiness, is the colour of light symbolises joy, cleanliness, goodness, loyalty, innocence, unifying, and purity resulting from Faith that listens to God’s voice and believes. It also symbolises righteousness, conquest, victory, peace, saints, completion, triumph, and beginning of a new life.
