Liturgy: Our Return to Ordinary Time Because the term ordinary in English most often means something that is not special or distinctive, many people think that Ordinary Time refers to parts of the calendar of the Catholic Church that are unimportant. Even though the season of Ordinary Time makes up most of the liturgical year in the Church, the fact that Ordinary Time refers to those periods that fall outside of the major liturgical seasons reinforces this impression. Yet Ordinary Time is far from unimportant or uninteresting. Ordinary Time is called “ordinary” not because it is common, but simply because the weeks of Ordinary Time are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo, from which we get the English word order. Thus, the numbered weeks of Ordinary Time, in fact, represent the ordered life of the Church, the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in the Christmas and Easter seasons) or in more severe penance & fasting (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchfulness and expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. “We proclaim your Death. O Lord, and profess your Resurrection, until you come again.”

The Liturgical Schedule is at www.holycrosspdx.com some token of our affection. We bring gifts to show our gratitude for being invited and to show our love for the one being honored and celebrated. So, when God Himself Support the Advertisers who Support our Community invites us to the greatest celebration of all, the celebration of the Eucharist, do we bring a gift? Do we take time to wrap it in an envelope? Do we select a gift that truly re- flects our gratitude for being invited to be a part of God’s family? The invitation to the Mass does not say, “No gifts, please.” In fact, since God first called us to be His 503.285.2106 people He has taught us, “No one shall appear before the 1808 NE Columbia Blvd. Lord empty-handed, but each of you with as much as he Annuals, Perennials, Indoor Plants , Gift Ware can give, in proportion to the blessings which the Lord, Family Owned & Operated since 1930 your God has bestowed on you.” - Deuteronomy 16:16-17
Tiempo Ordinario en la Iglesia... Comunidad de Esperanza...

La Iglesia se viste del color verde que de alguna manera simboliza la esperanza Partidarios y amigos de y el crecimeinto de cada uno de nosotros. la Comunidad de Esperanza El Tiempo Ordinario es el tiempo más antiguo de la organización (the Community of Hope), del año cristiano - ocupa la mayor parte del año: 33 ó 34 se les invita a unirse a ellos el semanas, de las 52 que hay. sábado 27 de julio para una noche de inspiradores oradores, El Tiempo Ordinario tiene su gracia una fantástica rifa, particular que hay que pedir a Dios y una donación especial, buscarla con toda la ilusión de y una cena con vino y cerveza local. nuestra vida: así como en este Tiempo Ordinario vemos a un Cristo ya maduro, La Comunidad de Esperanza quiere responsable ante la misión que le recaudar dinero para empoderar las encomendó su Padre, le vemos crecer en edad, familias sin hogar de un solo padre sabiduría y gracia delante de Dios su Padre y del norte de Portland. de los hombres, le vemos ir y venir, desvivirse por cumplir la Voluntad de su Padre, y brindarse a 6pm - Bebidas, Snacks y Rifa los hombres.

Bauccio Commons en la Universidad de Portland Crecer. Crecer. Crecer. El que no crece se estanca, se enferma, y muere. Debemos crecer en nuestras tareas ordinarias: Compre sus boletos en en la vida familiar, en la vida espiritual, en la vida profesional, www.communityofhopepdx.org en el trabajo, en el estudio, y en las relaciones humanas. Debemos crecer también en medio de nuestros sufrimientos, éxitos, y fracasos. ¡Cuántas virtudes podemos ejercitar en todo esto! El Tiempo Ordinario se convierte así en un gimnasio auténtico para encontrar a Dios en los acontecimientos diarios, ejercitarnos en virtudes, crecer en santidad…y todo se convierte en tiempo de salvación, en tiempo de gracia de Dios. ¡Todo es gracia para quien está atento y tiene fe y amor!
El Evangelio de hoy podemos llamarle “el Evangelio del perdón sincero.” Cristo manda a sus apóstoles a prepararle el camino, para avisar a la gente de ese pueblo que iba a parar allí.
Pero esas personas de Samaría, en lugar de descubrir a Cristo entre el grupo de viajeros, sólo se fijaron en que “tenían intención de ir a Jerusalén.” En ese tiempo los samaritanos no se hablaban con los demás judíos que bajaban a Jerusalén. ¡Qué ofensa para Cristo! Por eso, los apóstoles le preguntan si quiere que pidan que les caiga fuego del cielo. Esta propuesta de los apóstoles molestó más a Cristo que la ofensa recibida por el pueblo. ¿No vino Cristo a predicar el perdón? ¿No vino Cristo a morir por amor a toda la gente de ayer, de hoy, y de siempre, para salvarnos y llevarnos al cielo? ¿Cómo, pues, iba a permitir que una pequeña ofensa mereciera un castigo así de grande? No. Y dice el Evangelio que Cristo les reprendió enérgicamente.
Por tanto, aprendamos de Cristo a perdonar. Pero a perdonar de corazón. Sí, nos cuesta, pero si pedimos ayuda a Cristo, nuestro corazón se liberará de un peso enorme, respirará paz, la paz que sólo Cristo da a los que se la piden y luchan por conseguirla y mantenerla.
