Friends,
In our Catholic faith, there is always something on the horizon to look forward to and to prepare for.
With the Christmas season now behind us, we get a few precious weeks of so-called "Ordinary Time" before the Lenten preparations for the Resurrection of the Lord begin on March 6 with Ash Wednesday. What I want to share with you in this week's column is that
there is nothing "ordinary" about Ordinary Time
.
The "Green" season in the Church used to be called
Tempus Per Annum
, or "Time Throughout the Year". It is structured by the passing of 34 weeks that represent that Christ is with us even outside of the celebratory seasons of Christmas and Easter and the penitential and preparatory seasons of Advent and Lent. His love, mercy, and call to holiness are "evergreen".
What do you think of when you hear the word "ordinary"? If you asked someone "How do I look?" and they responded back with, "Ordinary," how would you feel?
We take "ordinary" to mean things like
regular, un-special, bland, blah, so-so
.
And if you stop and think about what is happening at every celebration of the Eucharist, it's anything but
regular, so-so, bland, and un-special.
At every Mass, the Eternal Son of God, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, descends from Heaven to speak His Word of life to you. Then, if that weren't enough, through the power of the Holy Spirit, He changes bread and wine into His Body and Blood, His Soul and His Divinity, so that we can have communion with the God who created us, loves us, and calls us to His presence. He becomes food for our journey that we might have the grace we need to fight the devil and to grow in holiness. He gives us the power to love as He loves. His Divine Life courses through
our
veins.
What's "ordinary" about that? Nothing. These 34 weeks that we embark upon this weekend are like training in discipleship, time to get our priorities straight, time to savor the extraordinary grace of the God who came to save us.
Peace in Christ,
Fr. Michael
Administrator

Second Sunday of Ordinary Time
In today's second reading, St. Paul tells the Corinthians (and us) that all of our gifts are from God and that they are given, not for ourselves alone, but for the common good. But the generosity of God knows no limits - the miracle at Cana reminds us that whenever we faithfully do as God asks, He can change our gifts of water into wine!
