Best Answer

The Ordinary is comprised of the parts of the Mass which do not change. The Mass starts "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit" It always starts that way, that is part of the "Ordinary". the Propers are "proper" for that day, or that feast. That would include the three prayers - Opening, Over the Gifts, and Thanksgiving after Communion, the preface - which changes with the feast and the date, etc. There are four different Eucharistic prayers (actually there are now more, but four regular ones), and although the priest could choose a different one, it is still part of the Common.
