ORDINARY TIME:

During Ordinary Time, the Church celebrates the fullness of the mystery of the Lord Jesus. The people of God offer praise by celebrating the Paschal Mystery of the Death and Resurrection of Jesus. On the first day of the week, the Lord’s Day, God assembles the beloved people to hear the Word, to reflect upon it, to offer the living sacrifice of praise, and to eat and drink the banquet of the Lord. Then God sends them forth to proclaim this love by their words and actions. Sunday is the original Christian Feast Day, following the tradition handed down from Apostolic times, for this was the day of the Lord’s Resurrection. Today’s Christian communities continue this tradition by celebrating every Sunday as the day of the risen Lord.

4 YOUTH:

Today is the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time; it forms the largest part of the Church’s liturgical year. It is the time in the liturgical year which in not part of a special season(Advent, Christmas, Lent or Easter). Why is it called Ordinary Time? Well, its not because it us unimportant, boring or routine! It’s because the weeks are numbered. (The Latin word ordinals refers to numbers in a series.) During Ordinary Time the Scripture readings focus on the events of Jesus’ life between His Birth and His Death and Resurrection. This is Year A of the three year schedule cycle of Sunday Readings with the majority of the Sunday Gospels of Matthew. During Ordinary TIMe we reflect on the way that Jesus lived and the things that he taught so that we might become more like him.

REFLECTION:

Healing the wounds of the heart:
All of us are wounded by sin.
The part of us which is most deeply damaged by sin is the heart.
The heart is so beautiful, so innocent, but it can be betrayed, scorned and broken.
Darkness of heart is the blackest night of all. Emptiness of heart is the greatest poverty of all.
A heavy heart is the most wearisome burden of all.
A broken heart is the most painful wound of all.
Only love can heal the wounds of our heart.
Lord, send your Holy Spirit to us, to heal the wounds of our hearts so that we may produce the
fruits of love.
