Did you know…………What exactly is ORDINARY TIME?

Because the term ordinary in English most often means something that's not special or distinctive, many people think that Ordinary Time refers to parts of the calendar of the Catholic Church that are unimportant. Even though the season of Ordinary Time makes up most of the liturgical year in the Catholic Church, the

fact that Ordinary Time refers to those periods that fall outside of the major liturgical seasons reinforces this impression. Yet Ordinary Time is far from

unimportant or uninteresting.

Why Is Ordinary Time Called Ordinary? Ordinary Time is called "ordinary" not because it is common but simply because the

weeks of Ordinary Time are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo, from which we get the English

word order. Thus, the numbered weeks of Ordinary Time, in fact, represent the ordered life of the Church—the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in the

Christmas and Easter seasons) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchfulness and expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. It's appropriate, therefore, that the Gospel for the Second Sunday of

Ordinary Time (which is actually the first Sunday celebrated in Ordinary Time) always features either John the Baptist's acknowledgment of Christ as the Lamb of God or Christ's first miracle—the transformation of water into wine at the wedding at

Cana. Thus for Catholics, Ordinary Time is the part of the year in which Christ, the Lamb of God, walks among us and transforms our lives. There's nothing "ordinary" about that!

Why Is Green the Color of Ordinary Time?

Likewise, the normal liturgical color for Ordinary Time—for those days when there is no special feast—is green. Green vestments and altar cloths have traditionally been associated with the time after Pentecost, the period in which the Church founded by the

risen Christ and enlivened by the Holy Spirit began to grow and to spread the Gospel to all nations.

When Is Ordinary Time? Ordinary Time refers to all of those parts of the Catholic Church's liturgical year that aren't included in the major seasons

of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. Ordinary Time thus encompasses two different periods in the Church's calendar, since the Christmas season immediately follows Advent, and the Easter season immediately follows Lent. The Church year begins with

Advent, followed immediately by the Christmas season. Ordinary Time begins on the Monday after the first Sunday after January 6, the traditional date of the Feast of the Epiphany and the end of the liturgical season of Christmas. This first period of Ordinary Time runs until Ash Wednesday when the liturgical season of Lent begins. Both Lent and the Easter season fall outside of Ordi-

nary Time, which resumes again on the Monday after Pentecost Sunday, the end of the Easter season. This second period of Ordi-nary Time runs until the First Sunday of Advent when the liturgical year begins again.

Why Is There No First Sunday in Ordinary Time?

As feasts of our Lord, both the Baptism of the Lord and Epiphany displace a Sunday in Ordinary Time. Thus the first Sunday in the period of Ordinary Time is the Sunday that falls after the first week of Ordinary Time, which makes it the Second Sunday of

Ordinary Time.

How Many Sundays Are There in Ordinary Time? In any given year, there are either 33 or 34 Sundays in Ordinary Time. Because Easter is a moveable feast, and thus the Lent and Easter seasons "float" from year to year, the number of Sundays in each period of Ordinary Time vary from the other period as

well as from year to year.

Visitors en-joy a three-mile leisurely round trip on board an antique, restored trolley car through a small portion of the pristine Branford Farm River Estuary. Visitors gain an understanding as to how suburbs formed and how the trolley system is coming back as an efficient form of transportation. The museum’s on-display artifacts in-clude one of the two surviving PATH subway cars surviving the 9-11 attacks in NYC and the oldest electric rail locomotive, and many beautifully restored antique trolley cars.

(Bus leaves from and returns to St. Isidore parking lot. Approximately a 12-13 hour day.)

The Responsibility of the Catholic Citizen in a Free Society

By Sabrina Lawston

(Winner #2 of the Knights of Columbus High School Scholarship)

There are a lot of responsibilities of a Catholic in a free society and it can be tough. A Catholic should always aspire to abide by higher standards in a society to set an example to others. It is a Catholic's

responsibility to lend a helping hand, help others, and to set a great example on how to treat others in a free society. It's their responsibility to always do what Jesus would want us as Christians to do.

A Catholic worshiper should attend Church every Sunday. Attending Church every Sunday, praying to God and receiving the Eucharist helps one to be closer to God. In a free society, people, like God, should

respect each other and honor each other. A responsible Catholic should respect his or her fellow man and in doing so, society will remain free.

Helping those in need is one of many responsibilities as a Catholic in a free society. Some examples of helping those in need are volunteering at soup kitchens or donating money to those without housing, food,

and basic necessities. Catholic citizens should also donate unwanted items in their homes to homeless shelters or children homes. Catholics also should give to their local churches because it helps others and it is what

God would want us to do.

As Catholic citizens we should strive to be important role models and leaders. These responsibilities are so we, as Catholics, set good examples and be good role models for other Catholics and help one another. One should stand up for what you believe in is right, whether you are standing up for yourself or someone else. “Be not afraid,” were Pope John Paul’s first words as the official Bishop of Rome. “Be not afraid” to be a Christian. Pope John Paul spoke three words that were needed to change the way Christians act in a free

society. Standing up for what you believe in is what Jesus did even despite the consequences and backlash. Strong moral values are the backbone of a free society.

Another responsibility of a Catholic is spreading the good word of Jesus Christ. This means spreading the

Good News of the Lord to others. Standing up for what you believe in is very important. It may be hard at times, but if you believe in your heart that it truly is the right thing, then one should follow the right path.

Some people believe they should change their beliefs or agree with someone else's beliefs to fit in or so they aren't “different.” People shouldn't be scared to share their beliefs but be proud of their religion and how they

feel. Being a Christian is a great thing and no one should feel ashamed of being who they are.

Our world history shows that when some people in power are allowed to rule, people do not stand up for what they believe in and what is morally right, dictators rise and bad things happen. Living in a free

society is a gift and a privilege, one that every Catholic should defend and stand up for. In protecting our free society, one must sacrifice and sometimes make very difficult decisions. Catholics have the responsibility to help those who cannot help themselves, those who are unable to help themselves, those who are disabled, too

young or too old to protect themselves. The difference between a free society and a dictatorship is respect, love and honoring one another. When we honor each other, we grow closer to God and our relationship with God becomes stronger. In turn, we become a good role model and a good leader. Those traits lead to a better

society and a better world for everyone.

A Christian in a free society with many responsibilities may be faced to make difficult choices, but it is what Jesus would want us to do. A Catholic should strive to obtain a high standard in society to show others

how to act in a free world. All Catholics should help others by lending a helping hand. Everyone simply needs to respect one another, love one another and teach each other how Jesus would want us to treat one another. The biggest responsibility that a Catholic has in a free society is to conduct their life in a meaningful manner

that will ensure that society will stay free. A free society means a responsible society.

The world-famous International Pilgrim Virgin Statue of

Our Lady of Fatima will begin a tour of the Rockville Centre Diocese from Friday, July 12th, to Saturday, July

Jose Thedim, according to the precise instructions of Sister Lucia, seer at Fatima. The Statue was blessed by the

Bishop of Fatima on October 13, 1947, by Pope Pius Xll in 1952. The purpose of the Pilgrim Virgin Statue tours is to bring the graces of Fatima and Our Lady’s message of

hope, peace and salvation to those millions of people in the world who may never have the opportunity to make a

pilgrimage.
