Ordinary Time

   
Interested in the new Order of Mass? Click HERE.

We have re-entered Ordinary Time, when we count Sundays by ordinal numbers and we read semi-continuously from the Gospel according to Saint Matthew. We celebrated several of these Sundays between Christmas and Lent, and now we continue until the end of the church year. Instead of the 7th and 8th Sundays, we celebrate Trinity Sunday and the Body and Blood of the Lord (Corpus Christi). On June 1 in 2008 we resume counting with the 9th Sunday. The Solemnity of Peter and Paul, Apostles, June 29, falls on a Sunday, and the readings of the feast will replace the readings of the 13th Sunday.

Click HERE to see how Saint Matthew’s Gospel is distributed through Year A.

Archive of other liturgical seasons [ Return to Top of Page]

This page is your link to information about the liturgy used at Saint Jude throughout the year.  In addition to seasonal liturgies such as Advent,  Christmas, Lent, and Easter, we archive bulletin inserts, as well as related links to other sites on the Internet you may find interesting and helpful. New to our site is our page on frequently asked questions (FAQ) about liturgical music.

Advent     [ Return to Top of Page] [ Return to Top of Archive]

Kyrie eleison - O Antiphons - St. Jude, Advent
The words Kyrie eleison mean "Lord, have mercy" in Greek. In our Advent penitential rite we sing these ancient words to Christ. Our invocations to Christ are based on the “Great O Antiphons.”

Why we don't sing Christmas carols during Advent?
One of our most frequently asked questions.

Preparation of the Altar and the Gifts
Since Ash Wednesday, you may have noticed some changes in the taking up of the collection, as well as in the Preparation of the Altar and the Gifts. Learn why these changes were made, and what they mean for the parishioners of Saint Jude.

The Jubilee Hymn: Te Deum
The Te Deum is the great Christian hymn of Thanksgiving. It was sung after great victories or after delivery from catastrophe. It is sung in the Office of Readings of the Liturgy of the Hours. It is the hymn for the ending of every year, a celebration of the Holy Trinity.

Celebrating What the Rites Have Taught Me
"Christ stands among us, waiting with everlasting love for us to come back every time we break our promise. He stands there to remind us that the covenant he seals with us stands firm, no matter how often we turn our backs on him..."
