Despite its name, Ordinary Time is far from ordinary. Lasting from now until Advent, it carries us through the rest of the summer, from swim season to the start of the new school year and apple-picking to pumpkin-carving. Join us as we share Sisters Ordinary Time practices and reflections.

Pray with Us
By Sister Maria Iannuccillo, SSND. On Good Friday, we spent the day with my grandmother and cousins. As noon approached, we were called in from playing outside to play ‘quietly’ until 3:00 pm. It took me years to understand why, and to understand why Good Friday was good.
By Sister Joan Pikiell, SSND "Joy" and "Lent" are not words you often hear together. Their pairing might seem as mismatched as peanut butter and mayonnaise! Yet, this Lent has brought me three profound moments of joy.
The opening words of our Ash Wednesday liturgical readings call us all to lament: “Return to me with your whole heart, with fasting, weeping, and mourning. Rend your hearts, not your garments and return to the Lord your God.”
With hope and peace, we enter into the joy of the Lord!
With hope and peace, we enter into the joy of the Lord!
