Blaming Autumn: Unjust cranks in this excellent season of wonder

Rose O’Connor describes the transition into autumn and November in a reflection for The Monitor. She notes the seasonal change from the foliage of October to the wind and weather of November.

O’Connor connects the season to the liturgical year, noting the apocalyptic Mass readings that conclude the cycle. She references Saint Hildegard of Bingen, who described herself as a feather on the breath of God, as a model for how Christians should respond to the changing seasons.
