The modern Church calls this Sunday the "Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time." How dull, how boring! What a small, rotten way to rip out memory from the Catholic faithful! Even the Missouri Synod Lutherans use the term "Septuagesima Sunday" My recently deceased, elderly, somewhat retarded and autistic friend William used to call this Sunday "Quaesimegesima Sunday." (Say that three times.) Even William, with his somewhat slow but still creative brain, had a more poetic vocabulary than the modern Church.
Thanks!

It's a great shame.
