We have Returned to Ordinary Time, and the Green Banners are up! During the season of Ordinary Time - we deepen our understanding of the Paschal Mystery each Sunday. This year we will be listening to Mark's Gospel for the most part. Because Mark's Gospel is shorter than Matthew's and Luke's Gospels, there will be a period of time in the Summer months when we will listen to a portion of John's Gospel - Chapter 6 - The Bread of Life discourse.
This year the period of Ordinary time between Christmas and the beginning of Lent is short - 5 weeks! Lent will begin on St. Valentine's Day - Feb. 14! Easter is on April 1st - but we are no fools!
This is also a Milestone Year for me - in May I will celebrate 25 Years of Ordination as a Priest. January 23, 1993 I was Ordained as a "Transitional" Deacon (Deacon Robert Suthers is a "Permanent" Deacon.) God Bless us in Ordinary Time!
