One thing I love about the Church Year is that over half of it is classified as “Ordinary Time." This season lasts from Pentecost until Advent and it's profoundly meaningful that the Church recognizes that the majority of what we do in our daily lives as Christians is deeply ordinary. 

 

We worship a God who delights in the ordinary – a God who made it, who became it, who redeemed it and is restoring it. He invites us to share that delight. During Ordinary Time, we get to turn our attention fully to the deeply sacred work of caring for our deeply ordinary lives. In this season of growth, we find that the God who is made known in the extraordinary events of Christ’s life, death, and resurrection, makes that remarkable work present in the everyday, ordinary experiences of humanity.
