Tenth Sunday in Ordinary Time Year B June 10, 2018 Readings: GN 3:9-15; 2 COR 4:13 5:1; MK 3:20-35 Readings on p. 1222 Dear Friends, I wish to share with you my notice of resignation from my position as Director of Campus and Young Adult Ministries and Director of Liturgical Music at St. Paul Catholic Newman Center. I do not think it is a surprise to anyone that I love liturgy and am incredibly passionate about how we pray in common as a church. I was recently blessed to receive a full scholarship to study Liturgical Theology at St. John s School of Theology and Seminary in Collegeville, Minnesota. After much prayer and careful consideration, I realize that this is too significant of an opportunity to decline. St. John s is one of the top programs for Catholic liturgy in the country and is known for its innovation in liturgical prayer. I often tell the college students to use their God-given gifts and follow their dreams. After discernment and conversation with my spiritual director, I must be willing to do the same. This decision does not come easily. It has been an incredible joy and pleasure to work with each of you at St. Paul Catholic Newman Center over the past two years. I am thrilled with the growth and success of both campus ministry and liturgical music, and I know that the Newman Center is poised for continued progress. I am so proud of our college students and all our liturgical music ministers. Thank you for the opportunity to learn from and grow with each of you. You have loved, supported, and challenged me, and I am so grateful for my time here. You helped me grow as a professional minister and a person of faith. While I am certainly sad to leave this incredible faith community and my position here, I look forward with hope to the new adventure ahead. I wish the entire parish community all the best, and I look forward to being in touch with you both now and after I leave on July 8. Please keep me in your prayers, and know that you will always be in mine. Soli Deo Gloria! That God may be glorified! John Kyler Director of Campus and Young Adult Ministries Director of Liturgical Music

Paul Turner Ordinary time, the longest season of the church year, fills the weeks which do not celebrate a specific aspect of the mystery of Christ. It is the no-particularreason season. Christmas Time honors the birth of Christ. Easter Time rejoices in the resurrection. Ordinary Time is devoted to the mystery of Christ in all aspects. The number of the weeks of Ordinary Time replaces the old counting of the weeks after Epiphany and after Pentecost. The old calendar suggested that Pentecost ran for six months. The new calendar gives Pentecost a day. Then we return to Ordinary Time. At first glance the principles of Ordinary Time seem basic enough. Start counting the weeks after Christmas Time. Break Lent and Easter. Resume after Pentecost and keep going until Advent. Basically, That s how it works. But we have a few quirks. For example, there is no First Sunday of Ordinary Time ; However there is a first week. Usually Christmas Time ends on a Sunday with the baptism of the Lord. The lectionary also calls it the First Sunday in Ordinary Time, but it is part of Christmas Time. (Some years the Baptism of the Lord falls on a Monday, but that is another story.) Ordinary Time gets underway on a weekday. When the next Sunday rolls around we start week two. On the Tuesday before Ash Wednesday we see the last of Ordinary Time until after Pentecost. Even then, it emerges only on weekdays. Trinity Sunday always follows Pentecost Sunday, and the solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of the Lord comes the next Sunday in the United States. (In countries where this solemnity is a holy day, it falls on a Thursday.) So when the numbered Sundays in Ordinary Time return in summer, we start out a little higher than where we left off. Sometimes we skip one or two entire weeks of Ordinary Time during the Easter break. We want to close the Sundays of the year with Christ the King, one week before Advent. Christ the King always falls on the 34th Sunday in Ordinary Time. So, we determine the week number after Pentecost not based on where we left off before Lent but continuing backwards from Christ the King. One or two weeks may disappear, but ordinary Time still serves the complete mystery of Christ. Father Paul Turner is the pastor of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Kansas City, Missouri. He is also the Director of Divine Worship of the Diocese. For more information contact John Prandini: 436-3434 ext. 107 or prandinij@csufnewman.com.
