IN MEMORIAM | FEBRUARY 9

As we commemorate the 8th anniversary of the passing of our beloved former Parish Priest, Fr. Tito Gelito, let us take a moment to reflect on his profound impact on our community.

Fr. Tito served faithfully as our Parish Priest from 2004 until 2012, dedicating his life to nurturing our spiritual growth and guiding us in times of joy and sorrow. His warmth, kindness, and unwavering commitment to our parish will always be remembered.

Let us pray to honor his memory and express our gratitude for the legacy he left behind. May he continue to inspire us as we strive to embody the values he taught us.

Eternal rest grant unto the soul of Fr. Tito Gelito, O Lord. And let the perpetual light shine upon him, may his soul rest in peace. Amen.

Ordinary Time na ulit, mga bok at 'ter!

Did you know, in the ordinary form of the Roman Rite, the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, which ordinarily occurs on the Sunday after the Solemnity of the Epiphany of the Lord (2 January), begins Ordinary Time and closes the Season of Christmas. While the long green season following Pentecost is known as the Time after Pentecost or Ordinary Time. This is standard, normal, typical time. It lasts until the First Sunday in Advent. It is the time of the church; time to focus on getting about Gospel, mission and service

Remember to be HOLY even if the time is ORDINARY, because HOLINESS is not only limited during Lent and Easter, it is to be observed everytime.

The term ordinary in English most often means something that's not special or distinctive, many people think that Ordinary Time refers to parts of the calendar of the Catholic Church that are unimportant. Even though the season of Ordinary Time makes up most of the liturgical year in the Catholic Church, the fact that Ordinary Time refers to those periods that fall outside of the major liturgical seasons reinforces this impression. Yet Ordinary Time is far from unimportant or uninteresting.

Why Is Ordinary Time Called Ordinary?

Ordinary Time is called "ordinary" not because it is common but simply because the weeks of Ordinary Time are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo, from which we get the English word order. Thus, the numbered weeks of Ordinary Time, in fact, represent the ordered life of the Church—the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in the Christmas and Easter seasons) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchfulness and expectation of the Second Coming of Christ.

It's appropriate, therefore, that the Gospel for the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time (which is actually the first Sunday celebrated in Ordinary Time) always features either John the Baptist's acknowledgment of Christ as the Lamb of God or Christ's first miracle—the transformation of water into wine at the wedding at Cana.

Thus for Catholics, Ordinary Time is the part of the year in which Christ, the Lamb of God, walks among us and transforms our lives. There's nothing "ordinary" about that!
