This Month
Ordinary Time
'"This" he [Moses] said "is the blood of the Covenant that the Lord has made with you,..."'
Exodus xxiv, 8
Ordinary Time covers 33 or 34 weeks of the liturgical year which aren't covered by Advent, Christmas, Lent or Easter; the current period of Ordinary Time sees us right through the Summer to Advent.
Whilst the Ordinary Time periods do not include one of the great feasts, it does give us a chance to consider some of the other of the many facets of the Christian Faith. The lectionary this year, for example, covers many of St Paul's writings, as well as concentrating on St Mark's Gospel.
