Liturgical Seasons 
Season of Ordinary Time

Ordinary Time - the longest season of the Liturgical Year - is by no means ordinary or plain!  It comes from the word 'ordinal' which means counted - like 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc...

While the Christmas & Easter Seasons 'highlight the Paschal Mystery, namely the incarnation, death on the cross, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, and the descent of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost', 'the Sundays and weeks of Ordinary Time... take us through the life of Christ.' Ordinary Time is a time for growth and maturation, a time in which the mystery of Christ is called to penetrate ever more deeply into history until all things are finally caught up in Christ.  The goal, toward which all of history is directed, is represented by the final Sunday in Ordinary Time - the Solemnity of Our Lord, Jesus Christ, King of the Universe.'(USCCB)

​

Ordinary Time is a great time for spiritual reading, listening to a great Catholic podcast, or taking part in an online Bible Study - all things that you can do - especially during the summer - while enjoying summer & fall activities!
