Church of the
Annunciation

Between the Baptism of the Lord which ends the Christmas season on January 13, 2019 and the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday March 6, 2019, we are in “Ordinary Time” when we celebrate “the Lord’s day.” Sunday worship is the identifying mark of the Christian community which comes together to be nourished by the proclamation of the Word of God and by reception of Holy Communion. 

This year we are proclaiming the Gospel according to St. Luke. On successive Sundays we hear of Jesus returning home and teaching in the synagogue (1/27/19); of his home town being amazed at Jesus’ words but then rejecting him (2/3/19); of Jesus calling his disciples to follow him (2/10/19); of Jesus preaching to a large crowd of blessings and woes (2/17/19; of Jesus saying we must love our enemies (2/24/19; and of Jesus speaking in parables (3/3/219). Ordinary time between liturgical seasons gives us the opportunity to focus our attention on the Paschal Mystery – the life, death and resurrection of Jesus – 

and to praise and thank God at Eucharist.
