“ordinary”?

.
Tomorrow is the seventh Sunday in “ordinary” time. ...“ordinary”?

Jesus was fully human (He ate, He slept, He worked, He wept, He suffered,…) But, “ordinary”? NO! EXTRAORDINARY! He was found teaching in His Father’s house when He was a boy. God spoke of Him when He was baptized by John. He performed MANY (extraordinary) signs (miracles). He was transfigured with Moses and Elijah (God spoke of Him again). He changed bread and wine into His Body and Blood. He rose from the dead. He appeared to many after his resurrection. He ascended into heaven. He sits at the right hand of the Father.

We’re the ones who are ordinary. We talk out loud in church about golf, restaurants, friends, etc.--IN FRONT OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT, while others try to pray. We leave mass while communion is being distributed. We say that we are made in His Image. I don’t think so.

Tomorrow should be called “the seventh Sunday in ‘EXTRAORDINARY’ time”.
