ordinary time in liturgical year c
The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord marks the end of the Christmas season in the Liturgical calendar of the Catholic Church, and so begins the first part of the Ordinary Time. Holy Mother Church celebrates 5 seasons in the Liturgical Calendar: Advent, Christmas-Epiphany, Lent, Easter, and Ordinary Time. This week we begin the Ordinary Time of the Liturgical Year C. At the very heart of our Liturgy is the celebration of the Lord's Day, the day of Resurrection, the day on which the Lord Jesus rose victorious to the Father. -
first week In ordinary timeThe opening prayer for this first week in Ordinary Time reads:
"Attend to the pleas of your people with heavenly care,
O Lord, we pray,
that they may see what must be done
and gain strength to do what they have seen..."
Let us put on the armor of spiritual sightedness. This will allow us to see the good, the beauty, and wonders in all the surroundings: in the people we meet; in the events and daily tasks of living and caring, in the world around us. May we see the need for compassion and kindness.
Again, we are to strive for the strength to appreciate, to carry on the greatness of this sightedness. It's one thing that we see what is good, what satisfies the greatest needs. Yet it's another thing to be ourselves actors and protagonists of the good that our world and society need today.

our need for connection
"The Lord God said, “It is not good for man to be alone” (Gen. 2:18). No one likes to be alone. It is in our nature to be with people . . . sometimes. Even introverts need good company every now and then. The internet has made possible so many ways of connecting with people near and far, but we should never substitute online presence for real, embodied presence. It goes against our nature and well-being."
