Mark Condon S S O T “B, L G, ” Back to Ordinary Time; it might seem that we call this season “Ordinary” because there are no special feasts or celebrations that take place, for the most part, during this time of the year. But “Ordinary” has another meaning in the liturgical sense. Our context for “Ordinary Time” comes from the Latin, ordinalis which refers to the ordering or numbering of things in their progression or succession; in this case, the passage of days one after another. In Ordinary Time we mark the passing of time all of which is sanctified because the Son of God, Jesus Christ, has entered human history and consecrated our days through his saving death and Resurrection from the dead. Ordinary Time is one liturgical season lasting for thirty-three or thirty-four weeks depending upon when the movable feasts fall in a given year. Though one season of Ordinary Time is divided in two halves: one after Epiphany and one after Pentecost; the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord that we celebrated last week is at once the conclusion of the Christmas Season and the First Sunday in Ordinary Time. We are at the Second Sunday in Ordinary Time. In keeping with the manifestation of Jesus as God’s own Son through his baptism in the Jordan, today we find John the Baptist giving testimony to Jesus, God’s own Son and anointed Messiah, the Christ. The Baptist always points away from himself and toward Jesus: “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world. He is the one of whom I said, ‘A man is coming after me who ranks ahead of me because he existed before me’” (John 1:29-30). The Baptist is a good model for us as we begin this liturgical season of Ordinary Time. Our whole vocation is to recognize the centrality of the person of Jesus Christ in our lives and order our days and way of living in keeping with the truth he preaches in the gospel. Once we accept God’s saving action in our lives, and the initiative always begins with his saving promise of friendship with us, then we are able to give witness to the Lord to others.

    The Maronite Voice A Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA Volume XII Issue No. X November 2016 A Litany of Thanksgiving n the Gospel of Luke (17:11-19) Jesus cures ten lepers. Saint Luke Ireports that … “One of them, turned back, praising God with a loud voice; and he fell on his face at Jesus' feet, giving him thanks…he was a Samaritan.' Jesus remarks, ‘Were not ten cleansed? Where are the other nine? Was no one found to return and give praise to God except this foreigner?'” Both the Old and New Testaments are filled with appeals for us to thank God. Psalm 118 instructs us, "Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good; His steadfast love endures forever!" The Scriptures even tell us why we should be thankful to the Lord: Because "His steadfast love endures forever!" In the United States for almost four hundred years, there has been a celebration of thanks in November. The first is recorded in November of 1621. From our earliest years as a people, and before we were even an independent country, we have offered public thanksgiving for the gifts of the Lord. To be thankful is not just a polite word to say at Thanksgiving every year. Giving thanks to Almighty God is much more and should be a daily acknowledgment by all of us. We should never take God's gifts and other people’s kindness for • for those things seen and unseen; granted. • for human life, from the womb to the tomb– among the greatest of God's gifts; We speak of a "litany" of thanksgiving.

  • Statement of the Catholic Bishops of New Jersey on the Reproductive Freedom Act
    149 North Warren Street ●Trenton, New Jersey 08608 609-989-1120 ● www.njcatholic.org Statement of the Catholic Bishops of New Jersey on the Reproductive Freedom Act The Catholic Church believes and teaches that all human life is sacred from conception to natural death. For that reason, we, the Bishops of each of the dioceses in New Jersey, join in voicing the strongest possible opposition to the “Reproductive Freedom Act.” Without minimizing other serious threats to human life and dignity evident in contemporary American society, the Catholic Church consistently maintains that “the threat of abortion remains our preeminent priority because it directly attacks life itself, because it takes place within the sanctuary of the family, and because of the number of lives destroyed” (USCCB, Forming Consciences for Faithful Citizenship, “Introductory Letter,” 2020). When informed of the text of the USCCB document early in 2020, Pope Francis observed that the right to life of the unborn “is the most fundamental right. This is not first a religious issue; it is a human rights issue. (Pope Francis to American Catholic Bishops, USCCB Region IX, January 16, 2020).” As the Catholic Bishops of New Jersey, we urge all Catholics and people of good will to reject this proposed legislative initiative in our state and to contact your State legislators to vigorously express opposition to its passage. Cardinal Joseph W. Tobin, C.Ss.R. Most Reverend Kevin J. Sweeney Archbishop, Archdiocese of Newark Bishop, Diocese of Paterson Most Reverend David M. O’Connell, C.M. Most Reverend James F.
