Ordinary Time
From Fr. Mark, Council 6101 Chaplain
We have now transitioned from the Easter Season to Pentecost and now into what is called Ordinary Time in the Church calendar. Now, the word “ordinary” in popular usage is used to describe things that are nondescript or dull, ordinary rather means customary, regular, and orderly. As well, “Ordinary Time” may also be called Ordinal Time, which means numbered time. Ordinal comes from the Latin “ordinalis,” which is a word meaning “showing order, denoting an order of succession.”
