Meaning of Name
"Ordinary" comes from the Latin ordo, meaning "order".  Ordinary Time is the commonplace, the regular, the everyday time.  In between feasts and grand celebrations is the regular time of our lives, the time when faith lives and grows and sustains.

Liturgical Colour: Green
Green is a cool colour, evoking nature, growth, vitality, freshness, harmony, endurance and fertility.  It is associated with healing and rest.  It is the depth and stability of blue combined with the warmth and joy of yellow.
