It will resume when the Easter Season ends, that is, on Monday, May 24, 2010, the day after Pentecost Sunday. Volume III of the Liturgy of the Hours is used until Ash Wednesday. In the weekday Lectionary, the first reading is chosen from Year 2. The Celebration of Prayer in the Liturgy of the Hours and Celebration of the Eucahrist 2010, Paulist Press ORDO 2010 http://www.paulistpressbookcenter.com What is Ordinary Time? The rhythm of the liturgical seasons reflects the rhythm of life — with its celebrations of anniversaries and its seasons of quiet growth and maturing. Ordinary Time, meaning ordered or numbered time, is celebrated in two segments: from the Monday following the Baptism of Our Lord up to Ash Wednesday; and from Pentecost Monday to the First Sunday of Advent. This makes it the largest season of the Liturgical Year. In vestments usually green, the color of hope and growth, the Church counts the thirty-three or thirty-four Sundays of Ordinary Time, inviting her children to meditate upon the whole mystery of Christ – his life, miracles and teachings – in the light of his Resurrection. If the faithful are to mature in the spiritual life and increase in faith, they must descend the great mountain peaks of Easter and Christmas in order to "pasture" in the vast verdant meadows of tempus per annum, or Ordinary Time. Sunday by Sunday, the Pilgrim Church marks her journey through the tempus per annum as she processes through time toward eternity. (Catholic Culture) Ordinary Time Apart from those seasons having their own distinctive character, there remains in the yearly cycle those weeks (33 or 34) that do not celebrate a specific mystery of Christ. Rather, especially on Sundays they are devoted to the mystery of Christ in all its fullness. This period is known as Ordinary Time. With Mary our Mother, let us rejoice in the splendor and richness of our Liturgical Year! Mary Mother of the Church, ora pro nobis -"pray for us!"
