The Mustard Seed, Inc. is a non-profit, Roman Catholic organization in Iowa City, Iowa.
It is our goal to make available the teachings of the
Catholic Church
through the sale of select Catholic books, gifts, artwork, videos, and audio products. The Mustard Seed also offers a Reference Library of Catholic Classics. We strive to instill and strengthen the Catholic Faith as guarded by the Holy Father and the Magisterium of the Church. All proceeds go toward the pursuit of this goal.
After Epiphany, until Ash Wednesday, the Church celebrates in Ordinary Time.The Paschal Mystery is so big, so deep, so vast, that we journey through this mystery for a whole year: the liturgical year. Sundays in Ordinary Time, as the official document on the liturgical year the General Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar states, "are devoted to the mystery of Christ in all its aspects" (43). Other liturgical seasons focus on one aspect...[the] weeks in Ordinary Time then celebrate the whole Paschal Mystery on each Sunday.
