Pentecost Sunday starts the second period of
Ordinary Time and continues until the Advent
season begins again. It is the longest liturgical
season, wherein the faithful consider the fullness
of Jesus' teachings and works among his people.
Ordinary Time is a time for growth and maturation,
a time in which the mystery of Christ is called to
penetrate ever more deeply into history until all
things are finally caught up in Christ. The goal,
toward which all of history is directed, is
represented by the final Sunday in Ordinary Time,
the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of
the Universe.
