Seasonal Page
The Church's liturgical year recounts: the creation of the world, the fall of Man, and coming judgment - giving
us cause for repentance;
the Incarnation, life, sufferings, death, Resurrection and Ascension of
the only-begotten Word of God, for our sakes - giving us cause for
thanksgiving; the lives of the Mother of God and of the saints - giving us cause for
thanksgiving and hope, and encouragement in our own lives.
But the liturgical year is also a source of God's grace. Through each
feast and commemoration, the meaning of the feast is made present in the
Church, and the grace of the feast is recalled; this meaning and grace
enters into and enlightens the minds and hearts of the faithful as they
take part in the liturgical year.
Finally, the liturgical year is a means of union with Christ. As we
remember the events which led to our redemption, and the deeds of those
who have lived under grace, the Holy Spirit (through the Church's
liturgy) directs our minds and hearts toward the goal of salvation for
ourselves and those around us, to so live in this life as to be made fit
for eternal life in heaven.
