What is Ordinary Time?
O
n the Monday after the first Sunday in January, the longest season of the liturgical year—Ordinary Time—begins. Depending on the year, it encompasses either 33 or 34 weeks, broken into two distinct portions of the calendar, the first ending on the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday, and the second beginning on the Monday after Pentecost and running until evening prayer I of the First Sunday of Advent. Ordinary Time is called "ordinary" not because it is common but simply because the weeks of Ordinary Time are numbered. The Latin word ordinalis, which refers to numbers in a series, stems from the Latin word ordo, from which we get the English word order. The numbered weeks of Ordinary Time in fact represent the ordered life of the Church—the period in which we live our lives neither in feasting (as in the Christmas and Easter seasons) or in more severe penance (as in Advent and Lent), but in watchfulness and expectation of the Second Coming of Christ. It's appropriate, therefore, that the Gospel for the Second Sunday of Ordinary Time (which is actually the first Sunday celebrated in Ordinary Time) always features either John the Baptist's acknowledgment of Christ as the Lamb of God or Christ's first miracle—the transformation of water into wine at the wedding at Cana. Ordinary Time is the part of the year in which Christ, the Lamb of God, walks among us and transforms our lives. There's nothing "ordinary" about that! Ordinary Time refers to all of those parts of the Catholic Church's liturgical year that aren't included in the major seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, and Easter.

St. Vincent de Paul
There’s Still Time - Join us for ALPHA
Next week’s special collection will benefit St. Vincent de Paul. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers tangible assistance to those in need on a person-to-person basis. It is this personalized involvement that makes the work of the Society unique. This aid may take the form of intervention, consultation, or often through direct dollar or in-kind service. An essential precept of the Society's work is to provide help while conscientiously maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of those who are served. The Society recognizes that it must assume, also, a role of advocacy for those who are defenseless or voiceless. Some 12 million persons are helped annually by Vincentians in the United States.
We began another Alpha Program on Wednesday. January 10, at 7:00 pm, but don’t worry you can still join us! Alpha has over 30 million attendees worldwide and just this past fall there were 3,000 Alpha classes being held in America. Pope Francis has been quoted as saying, "its a good way for Jesus to meet them". What a great way to start 2018 and work into the Lenten season! We serve a full meal, dessert, a 30 minute video and an hour of group discussion. Come and see the new evangelization taking hold in America. Together, let us answer the question, Why Am I here?" For more information, please contact Carol Hagan 843-991-6297 or Rhoda Hiott, Parish secretary at:
If you or someone you know is in need of food or financial assistance for rent or utility bills, please contact: St. Vincent de Paul at 843-224-4592.
Marriage Series January 16th– February 13th with Deacon Jim and Joanne Walters Tuesdays 6:15-7:30 Childcare is Available The Virtues. We invite spouses to consider the importance of those key habits that help them grow and mature as persons: The Cardinal Virtues Prudence, Justice, Fortitude, and Temperance. These virtues are necessary in marriage. They guide spouses in making wise decisions, and in treating each other fairly. They help husband and wife find the strength to face difficult moments, and to use self-control to manage their emotions and desires. On the other hand, imagine what a couple’s life would be like if the spouses lacked prudence, were unfair, lacked courage, and self-control. The marriage would not last. With this program, we want to remind couples of those good habits that lead to personal maturity and to a great marriage. Also... DO YOU KNOW THE SECRET TO A SUCCESSFUL LIFE? Take your spouse on a date and learn the qualities that make you a loving spouse, a responsible parent and a successful person. Start your romantic date with your spouse by viewing a short video, at the parish, and then go off to your private date. To register for this series, please contact Jan Antor:
[email protected] or 636-248-6460.
[email protected] or 843-873-0631.
It’s Not too Late to Join Us! Threshold Bible Study The Gospel of Mark Part Two Join us Thursdays at 10:00am or at 7:00pm we will begin studying "Jesus, the Suffering Servant." This six week study or the second half of Mark's gospel explores the implications of being disciples of Jesus. Exploring the recollections of Peter, readers will learn how to follow Jesus faithfully, based on both the successes and failures of his original disciples. As participants in this study, you will realize that Jesus can only be fully understood on the cross as he gives his life for the redemption of all people and that you cannot follow Jesus until you accept the necessity of the cross in your life. Costs for books is $13.00 payable the first day of class.
An Introduction to St. Paul Beginning Monday, January 15th at 7:00pm, and continuing for 10 weeks, Fr. Jacob will lead a study of the life and “Gospel” of St. Paul. We read and listen to the words of St. Paul on most of the Sundays of the year. Many times it is difficult to understand the meanings of his teachings. This is because the transformation of Saul to Paul was so mysterious and powerful. His experience of the Risen Lord changed his life forever! Join Fr. Jacob as he helps you in your journey to know the Lord by understanding the letters of Paul. For information, please contact the parish office at : 843-873-0631 or
[email protected].

Scripture Reflection “Speak, for your servant is listening.” With those few words Samuel humbles himself and declares his loyalty and obedience to God. There are perhaps for many of us challenges in those words. Initially Samuel responds “Here I am,” but thinks it was Eli who called him. The idea of being a servant and the willingness to serve are what may be trials for us in terms of how we live. Samuel does not recognize the voice of the Lord. That, too, may be a problem for us. First we need to be listening. Are we, or are we merely going through the motions? Responding to God with “Here I am” is a magnificent way to react to God. It is not that God does not know where we are, but saying that can serve as a reminder to us that we are stewards, servants to Him, and it implies we are prepared to hear what He wants us to do. “Here I am” is said numerous times by those in the Old Testament including Abraham, Jacob, Moses, Isaiah, and by Ananias in the New Testament. When Jesus says, “Come follow me,” as He does to us, do we hear Him, and even more important do we respond and do we follow? In order to do that properly we have to be prepared to serve Him and others. Thus, like Samuel, we need to listen, and then we need to serve. At a recent papal audience, Pope Francis said, “Love and charity are service, helping others, serving others. When you forget yourself and think of others, this is love!”
