THE LITURGICAL YEAR Christ's saving work is celebrated in sacred memory by the Church on fixed days throughout the year. Each week on the day called the Lord's Day the Church commemorates the Lord's resurrection. Once a year at Easter, the Church honors the resurrection and passion with the utmost solemnity. In fact through the yearly cycle the Church unfolds the entire mystery of Christ and keeps the anniversaries of the saints.During the different seasons of the liturgical year, the church, in accord with traditional discipline, carries out the formation of the faithful by means of devotional practices, both interior and exterior, instruction, and works of penance and mercy. - General Norms for the Liturgical Year and Calendar, 1 / Citation from Diocese of Richmond For a good description of each Liturgical season, and an interactive current calendar; please visit http://www.cyberfaith.com/calendar_index.html |
