The rhythm of the liturgical seasons reflects the life with its celebrations of anniversaries and its seasons of quiet growth and maturing. Ordinary Time, meaning ordered or numbered time, is celebrated in two segments: from the Monday following the Baptism of Our Lord up to Ash Wednesday; and from Pentecost Monday to the First Sunday of Advent. This makes it the largest season of the Liturgical Year. In vestments usually green, the color of hope and growth, the Church counts the thirty-three or thirty-four Sundays of Ordinary Time, inviting her children to meditate upon the whole mystery of Christ – his life, miracles and teachings – in the light of his Resurrection. For Catholics, Ordinary Time is part of the year in which Christ, the Lamb of God, walks among us and transforms our lives. There’s nothing “ordinary” about that! Sunday by Sunday, the Pilgrim Church marks her journey through the Tempus Per Annum as she processes through time toward eternity.
