Ordinary Time in the Catholic Church refers to the periods in the liturgical calendar that are not part of the major seasons like Advent, Christmas, Lent, or Easter. It is a time when Catholics focus on the teachings and life of Jesus, growing in faith and spirituality. Ordinary Time is divided into two parts: one between Christmas and Lent, and the other between Easter and Advent. The term "ordinary" does not mean "common" or "unimportant," but rather refers to the ordinal numbers used to count the weeks, emphasizing the regular rhythm of the Church’s life and worship.
