Religion: Session 5- Ordinary Time:

Ordinary Time is a time to grow and be grateful that we belong to our Church community-

We celebrate Ordinary Time on the Sundays between the Christmas season and Lent and from Pentecost to the First Sunday of Advent. There may be 33 or 34 Sundays in Ordinary Time. There are the Sundays in which the Church reflects on Jesus’ life. During this time, we celebrate Jesus’ presence in our lives, receiving him in the Eucharist. We live our commitment to Christ through the community of the Church as a sign of Christ’s presence in the world. During other seasons, we anticipate and celebrate the central aspects of the Paschal Mystery- the birth, Death, Resurrection, and Ascension of Jesus Christ. During Ordinary Time, we celebrate Jesus’ life and our life in the Church. The Mass is the center and the source of that life.
