In Ordinary Time, we follow Jesus through his public ministry, which lasted from His baptism to the beginning of His Passion. The season climaxes with the Feast of Christ, the King, which reminds us of the goal toward which the whole of creation is moving, the time when Jesus will reign as King of Kings and Lord of Lords forever. During Ordinary Time, we sit at the feet of Jesus, our Rabbi, and learn from Him what it means to be one of His disciples.
One gospel is used as a focus for the Sundays during Ordinary Time:
| Year A | Matthew | 2013-2014 |
| Year B | Mark | 2011-2012 |
| Year C | Luke | 2012-2013 |
The weekday readings during Ordinary Time are on a two-year cycle:
| Year 1 | 2013 |
| Year 2 | 2012 |
The Gospel of John is featured in Lent, Holy week, and the Easter season every year.
There are 529 different passages for the Sunday readings (160 from the Old Testament and 369 from the New Testament).
In 2011, up until Advent (which marks the end of Ordinary Time and the beginning of the Liturgical Year), we are in Year A for Sundays and Year I for weekday readings. When we return to Ordinary Time after Christmas and before Lent, we will be in Year B for Sundays and Year II for weekday readings.
