A few words this month
Fr. Sawano
“Ordinary Time”
does not mean an unimportant season. It simply means that it is not one of the
special liturgical seasons such as Christmas Time or Easter Time. In fact, it
is a very important period for us. It is the time when the Church, born through
the power of the Holy Spirit, continues the work of salvation that Christ
began. This season lasts until the end of the liturgical year, which this year
concludes on November 22 with the Solemnity of Christ the King.
Ordinary Time is
the season of the Church walking with the Holy Spirit in the present day.
Christ entrusted His Church with the Gospel—the Good News that proclaims, “I
will surely save you.” Strengthened by the Holy Spirit, our Helper and
Advocate, the Church continues its mission of proclaiming this joyful Gospel as
it journeys toward the fulfillment of God’s salvation at the end of time.
An important
point to remember is that the Church is not simply a group or organization made
up of other people. Each one of us is a member of the Church. Through Baptism
and the gift of the Holy Spirit, we have received a share in the Church’s
mission, and with the help of the Holy Spirit we are called to be active in
that mission today.
For this reason,
Ordinary Time is an important season for all of us. Nourished by the Holy
Eucharist and guided by the Holy Spirit, we continue to live and work together
as the Church, carrying Christ’s saving message to the world.
