Ordinary Time of the Church Year (or Extraordinary)
According to the Church calendar, this is the first week in Ordinary
Time. The weeks are referred to by ordinal numbers, which is why they
are called ordinary. There are 34 of them. In the usual sense of the
word ordinary, these weeks are not special seasons like Advent
or Easter. But is any week actually “ordinary”? Considering that out of
the zillion or so planets and other things floating in the limitless
universe, our little planet daily sustains our lives, I’d say that any
week is extraordinary. The fact we human beings can think, create,
imagine, choose, and love, unlike other creatures such as the billions
of insect species, I’d call that extraordinary.click to continue
