The 10th Sunday in Ordinary Time -- June 9 2024

We now turn back to the Liturgical Season known as "Ordinary Time". It is not called that because it is routine and mundane, but because it is numbered, ordinal is another word for numbered. We skip some of the numbers because of the timing of the calendars, so today we are in the 10th Sunday of Ordinary Time, and the readings seem very appropriate to the start of this season, now that we have completed Easter and Pentecost. We go back to the beginning, back to the Garden, and we also hear how Jesus was so badly misunderstood by so many. There is a lot to learn!
