Why Is Ordinary Time Called Ordinary?
Ordinary Time is called "ordinary" not because it is com-mon 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 Ordi-
nary 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 tra-ditionally been associated with the time after Pentecost, the period in which the Church founded by the risen Christ and enlivened by the Holy Spirit be-
gan to grow and to spread the Gospel to all nations.
Prayer to Saint John Bosco
O glorious Saint John Bosco, who in order to lead young people to the feet of the divine Master and to mould them in the light of faith and Christian morality didst heroically sacrifice thyself to the very end of thy life and didst set up a proper religious Insti-tute destined to endure and to bring to the farthest boundaries of the earth thy glorious work, obtain also for us from Our Lord a
holy love for young people who are exposed to so many seductions in order that we may generously spend ourselves in supporting them against the snares of the devil, in keeping them safe from the dangers of the world, and in guiding them, pure and holy, in the path that leads to God. Amen.
