The Ordinariness of Ordinary Things

I grew up where we were anti-ritualistic in looking for the spiritual, the immediate. For me, it was a move from that to liturgy, material, rites, rituals, sacraments that actually help ground it. We don't get wine crushed by the feet of nuns and water from the river Jordan for baptism. So I think the context, the extraordinary and the ordinary is actually a gift to us.
