Ordinary Time, Extraordinary Grace!

Dear Parishioners, friends and family in Christ,

With the Feast of the Baptism of Our Lord we say goodbye to the festive and exciting season of Christmas, and once again welcome the season of Ordinary Time.

But, the use of the word "ordinary" in the term Ordinary Time can often be misleading as "ordinary" has the connotation of being boring - that nothing interesting or exciting is happening. However, even though we call it ordinary, it is never just ordinary.  

Green, which is the liturgical colour of Ordinary Time, signals life and growth
springing from the ground, and so does God bring to life and fruition our virtues, goodness and holiness. 

Ordinary Time is a time during which we get to know who Jesus is, and we grow closer to Him. And as we grow closer to Jesus, we are able to follow Him even more closely and learn to be more like Him in our ordinary day-to-day lives.

Thus we transform our "ordinary time" to "extraordinary time" of grace and redemption! 

Yours in Christ!

Fr. Peter Jae Choi
