What Does Ordinary Time Mean?

Why Is Ordinary Time Called Ordinary?

Why Is There No First Sunday in Ordinary Time?
Devotion to the souls in Purgatory contains in itself all the works of mercy, which supernaturalized by a spirit of faith, should merit us Heaven. de Sales

Good points.. the word ordinary has come to mean mundane, unimportant or undistinugished in common usage.. whereas in the Church it is simply a way to denote a point in a succession of events, organized against 'cardinals' that divide the year into the liturgical calendar.
