ORDINARY
TIME
Ordinary
Time refers to all the Sundays of the year
that are not linked to the major seasons
of Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter.
Governed by the date of Easter, it
consists of either thirty-three or
thirty-four weeks and is divided into two
periods, one following the feast of the
Baptism of the Lord and the other
following the Solemnity of Pentecost.
Ordinary Time following The Baptism of
the Lord is of brief duration, lasting
anywhere from four to nine weeks depending
on the date of Ash
Wednesday.
The
word “ordinary” in Ordinary Time
does not mean “common.” It
means “according to an established
order.” Recalling mathematics, an
ordinal number shows the order of a unit
in a given series. “Ordinal” is
the root of “ordinary” in this
sense. These Sundays come one after
another in numerical order, therefore they
are “ordinary.” As a matter of
fact, the name in the Latin liturgical
books for this period is Tempus Ordinaril,
which does not really translate to
“ordinary time” but rather to
“counted time.” Before there
were any feasts or seasons in the Church,
there was Sunday, the original holy day.
Sunday was the day the community came
together to celebrate the wholeness of the
paschal mystery. Eventually, more focused
feasts and seasons developed out of
Sunday, Easter being the first. On these
counted Sundays of Ordinary Time, the
community still comes together to
celebrate the original holy day the
wholeness of the paschal mystery. The
Gospels of Ordinary Time are a semi
continuous reading of the three synoptic
Gospels arranged in a three-year cyclic
pattern.
In A
years, [2008] we read Matthew; in
B years, we read Mark; and in C years, we
read Luke. This is an A year, a year for
reading Matthew, whose Gospel emphasizes
Jesus as the promised Messiah, the
fulfillment of the old law.
