Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time • Year A
Yet, the more I reflect on the Church’s way of naming time, the more I sense the wisdom of our Tradition. The Church’s calendar consists of the great seasons: Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter, and Ordinary Time. Ordinary, as the Church uses the word, can mean, “when everything is normal” or “in the usual way.” Isn’t that much like our own lives? Our lives have exceptional moments and seasons.
