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.
