Welcome to Ordinary Time! In the liturgical calendar, Ordinary Time refers to the periods that are not part of the major seasons like Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. It is divided into two sections, one following the Christmas season and the other after Easter, and is the longest season of the church year.
The term "ordinary" signifies that these are the numbered weeks of the church year, representing the ordered life of the Church, rather than implying that they are less significant Ordinary Time is a time for growth, maturation, and reflection on the teachings and works of Jesus Christ.
It's a time for the faithful to deepen their understanding of the Christian faith and to live out their baptismal call to spread the Gospel.
The liturgical color for Ordinary Time is green, symbolizing growth and new life.
