From the Pastor’s Desk
Dear Parishioners,
GREEN is the liturgical color as we begin Ordinary Time in the Summer and Fall. The palette of green tones and hues is extensive. This portion of Ordinary Time is the longest season of the liturgical year. It is interesting how a season titled ‘ordinary’ would take up the majority of the year. The word ordinary might seem to suggest boring, standard, or average with no unique features or anything particularly extraordinary.
Ordinary Time, however, is not defined in the way we would normally define the word ordinary. Rather, Ordinary Time is defined by the radical hospitality, prophetic witness, and missionary discipleship that Jesus calls us to daily. It is a time in which we focus on discipleship and what it means to be a true follower of Jesus—to be extraordinary. This long season allows us all to sink deeply into Jesus’ life and ministry.
The overall thrust of the Ordinary Time message is how to live as disciples building God’s kingdom. The readings and psalms are like gems reflecting images found in the kingdom of God parables; images of grain, weeds, the mustard seed, yeast, buried treasure, the pearl of great price, the net in the sea, vineyards, a bountiful wedding feast, rich foods, choice wines, wise and foolish virgins. Throughout the Gospel readings of this season, we hear metaphors used to illustrate or define the kingdom of heaven. They depict a kingdom that is like no other we have on earth.
There are special feasts and solemnities during the period of Ordinary Time such as the solemnities of the Most Holy Trinity, Body and Blood of Christ, Assumption of Mary, and All Saints as well as the Commemoration of the Faithful Departed on All Souls’ Day. This makes Ordinary Time anything but boring, standard, or average. It is indeed an extraordinary time, especially during the ordinary everyday routine of our lives.

The Word of God
Reading I: Exodus 19: 2-6a Israel assembles at Sinai to meet its God and witness His power, The covenant He proposes is a conditional one. To experience its benefits, Israel must adhere to its terms.
Reading II: Romans 5: 6 -11 The dying of Christ shows the depths of God’s unconditional love for the world. This is remarkable when one considers how the “ungodly” world does not deserve His love.
The Gospel: Matthew 9: 36 – 10:8 Jesus chooses the Twelve. They are ordinary men but with enormous potential. Like them, we are called by our Baptism to go forth and witness to the reign of God, and that “the kingdom of heaven is at hand.”
