May 12th-26th SNYM News
Welcome to the St. Nick's Youth Ministry Update
ORDINARY TIME
There are two periods of Ordinary Time in the Church calendar.
One is the short time between the end of Christmas and the beginning of Lent.
The longer stretch of Ordinary Time —the one we’re in now— begins after Easter and ends just before Advent.
It’s no accident that the longest period of Ordinary Time occurs during the summer months, which are a time of energy, renewal, growth, and maturation.
The green liturgical vestments worn by priests during this time echo the vibrant green bursting forth in all of nature.
Ordinary Time comes from the Latin ordinalis, which means “showing order” and is the time when we celebrate the ordered passage of time.
This is the time of conversion. This is living the life of Christ.
