Ordinary Time and more…
Last Sunday, which was celebrated as the Baptism of the Lord, we also subconsciously celebrated the First
Sunday in Ordinary Time. This year, the first stretch of Ordinary Time is very short, as Lent will be
starting on Ash Wednesday, February 18th. Some people have wondered how the Church figures out the
timing of Ash Wednesday. Well, it’s more about just how the Church figures out the timing of Easter
each year, and believe it or not, it has to do with the moon. “…Easter, the Christian Passover, should be
celebrated on the Sunday following the first full moon (14 Nisan) after the vernal equinox.” (CCC, 1170)
But this is more about Ordinary Time.
Because of how the date of Easter is calculated, Ordinary Time is also, then, very strange. The Church
ALWAYS celebrates 34 Sundays in Ordinary Time, even though they are not all called the “nth” Sunday.
Like the First Sunday is the Baptism of the Lord every year, the 34th Sunday is the Solemnity of Jesus
Christ, the King of the Universe EVERY YEAR. There are a couple of other special Sundays too, but I
don’t want to list those for now. Needless to say, the Church has its calendar. Now back to Ordinary
Time.
So many people want to say that Ordinary Time is just plain boring. There is just no life to those weeks
of the priest wearing green vestments. Ho-hum, blah, blah, blah. Well, I am hoping to change your tune
even just a little bit with this article. I recently read-up a little more on Ordinary Time. I happen to like
Ordinary Time, SPECIFICALLY because the specialty seasons are just SO focused and SO much more
complicated to work through. For instance, having just finished Advent and Christmas, albeit time wellspent and many great celebrations and lessons, it’s thoroughly exhausting. I don’t want to sound like I
am complaining. Anyone who knows me, knows I truly love Christmas. It’s very focused and that takes a
lot of energy, especially when the days have much less daylight. It’s a struggle. Lent and Easter are great
in their own rights, but again, very focused time. The subject matter is so deep. One needs to keep their
spirit open to the grace of God, and when the hardships of the world want to bring us down, the energy
it takes to be joyful is tremendous.
Ordinary Time is a very diﬀerent cycle. There are such a wide variety of topics to teach on and preach
about for these 34 weeks. Sure, the world doesn’t stop giving us heartaches and hardships, but that is
what makes Ordinary Time good for me. It allows us to possibly focus on world issues, Church issues,
catechesis or other topics pertinent to people’s local lives. Ordinary Time is a true celebration of “every
seven-day celebration of the Lord’s Day.” (Ordo, p. 30) Think of it this way – Ordinary Time is a time for
us to simply come together as a community to celebrate the love that God has for us AND the love we
have for one another. If we just celebrated the Baptism of the Lord and remembered our own baptismal
call, then every person who walks through our doors and through the doors of every Catholic or
Christian church takes God’s message of love with them from wherever they worship. That is not to say
that we as Catholics go to another Christian church on Sunday and fulfill our obligation. We still have a
rule to our life – the reception of the Eucharist, at least every Sunday, with the Catholic community.
Very quickly, remember that the anniversary of the Roe v. Wade decision to legalize abortion is coming
up this week. We need to pray for the unborn, their parents, the conversion of the hearts of politicians,
and for safety for all of the pilgrims who travel to Washington DC for the March for Life, especially our
SLOT group, led by Pattie Gallinaro, our Youth Minister.. They leave for this life-changing trip on
Tuesday, January 20.
Godspeed.

“Jesus turned
and saw them
following him and said to them,
‘What are you looking for?’” - JOHN
1:38
What are you looking for? Are you
wasting your time looking for the
material comforts of the world? Or,
is your heart longing for something
deeper that can only be found by
spending time with God? Take
time, each day, in silence and ask
the Lord what it is that He wants
you to do.
To be grateful is to recognize the
Love of God in everything he has
given us – and He
has given us everything. Every
breath we draw is a gift of His love,
every moment of
existence is a grace, for it brings
with it immense graces from Him.
Gratitude therefore
takes nothing for granted, is never
unresponsive, is constantly
awakening to new
wonder and to praise of the
goodness of God. For the grateful
person knows that God
is good, not by hearsay but by
experience. And that is what
makes all the difference.
Thomas Merton

Baptism
At Baptism, we embrace a
unique vision and st of values:
those of the community of the
Church, whose values prioritize
love for God, ourselves, others
and all creation. The rest of the
Free
We know that BapƟsm unites us with
Christ in his dying and rising. We
know that because of our union with
him, we are God’s beloved daughters
and sons in the Son. And besides all
this, because Christ is our life
through BapƟsm, something else
happens. He sets us free from the
two most enslaving and burdensome
realiƟes of our lives. He frees us from
sin and death.
Sin entraps us, usually within
ourselves. And on our own, we
cannot break free. Death and the
impending sense of doom and loss it
brings seem to box us into the
narrow confines of our very short
earthly lives. BapƟsm loosens the
grip of sin through forgiveness, and it
loosens the grip of death through
new and eternal life in Christ Jesus.
We are free to be who we really and
truly are—the children of God.

community also joins in that
profession of faith, showing that
the community is linked across
generations, space and time.
The Catechism of the
Catholic Church tells us
“Incorporated into Christ by
Baptism, Christians are “dead to
sin and alive to God in Christ
Jesus” and so participate in the
life of the risen Lord. Following
Christ and united with him,
Christians can strive to be
“imitators of God as beloved
children, and walk in love” by
conforming their thoughts, words
and actions to the “mind…which is
yours in Christ Jesus, and by
following his example.
During the Rite of Baptism
during the blessing of the water,
we recall God’s action in history.
We as Christians believe that
January 18, 2015
Baptism does not take the
baptized from the world. Instead,
the world becomes a place and
means for us to fulfill their
Christian vocations. We live our
baptismal promises in our daily
lives.
After we are baptized we
are given a white garment
symbolizing that the person has
“put on Christ,” has risen with
Christ. The candle, lit from the
Easter candle, signifies that Christ
has enlightened the neophyte. In
him the baptized are “the light of
the world.” The gifts given at
Baptism, Pope Benedict XVI tells
us, are for “the building up of
Christ’s Body and for ever greater
witness to the Gospel in the
world.”
Deacon Bill Doerr

The kindergarten class enjoys learning
about snow! The children conducted a
science experiment making
predictions about what would happen
to snow if it was brought inside. They
knew the snow would melt and they
each predicted where the water line
would be on the cup of snow.
Donatello Santiago guessed the closest
to the water line. Next, they will be
making predictions about a cup of ice.
It’s never too early to investigate the
world around us; the kindergarten
children love being scientists!

THE NEW ARCHBISHOP, BLASE CUPICH, IS
COMING TO VICARIATE SIX!
Yes, it’s true. Archbishop Cupich is going to
be celebrating Mass in each of the six
vicariates, some of which have already taken
place. In some of the vicariates, these have
been ticketed events. To date, it has been
decided that our vicariate Mass will NOT be a ticketed event.
Bishop Perry wants to encourage as much participation as
possible for this wonderful celebration of welcoming His
Excellency to the Archdiocese of Chicago. The Mass is going
to be held on January 27, 2015, at Saint Jude Parish in
South Holland – basically on the corner of 154th and
Cottage Grove Avenue – beginning at 7pm. Our vicariate is
a fantastically diverse area of ethnicities and representative
countries. Know that you are invited to come to the Mass.
There will be a reception following with light refreshments
and an opportunity to meet the Archbishop, too.
I know it sounds too good to be true, but true it is. Come
and see! Consider joining the many to celebrate the Mystical
Body of Christ of our vicariate. Thanks. I pray you will join
us.

In the Gospel today, Jesus
asks “What are you looking
for?” Often we are looking
for happiness in very selfish ways, but
we find that when we look for ways to
make others happy, it is then that we
truly become happy.
As you place your gift in the Society of
St. Vincent de Paul poor box, know
that you are a sign of God’s love to
those who are suffering and you give
them reason to believe and to trust.
