Ordinary Time

Ordinary Time is the longest part of the Church's year, the weeks outside the great seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter. Far from ordinary in the dull sense, it unfolds the life and teaching of Jesus Sunday by Sunday. The season calls us to grow steadily in faith through the rhythm of everyday discipleship.

• Also known as: Epiphany Season, After Pentecost, Epiphany, Ordinary Time
• Role: Season of growth in faith
• Key Scripture: Mark 1:14-15, Matthew 5:1-12, Luke 9:23
