Pray With Us
Ordinary Time, with the capital letters, is so filled with extraordinary events and feasts, such as that of the Trinity, Corpus Christi, feasts of Mary, and so many who showed heroic virtue and move us to try to emulate their lives in our very own.
Liturgically speaking, Ordinary Time is a period or season during the church year that falls between the celebrations of major feasts. But what does it mean to me?
It is the common experiences that linger in memory and storytelling. Take a moment to look around. There are countless individuals presently engaged in their ordinary lives on Earth. We are fortunate to be part of this!
