    Word of God

    •1 About times and dates, brothers, there is no need to write to you

    •2 for you are well aware in any case that the Day of the Lord is going to come like a thief inthe night.

    •3 It is when people are saying, 'How quiet and peaceful it is' that sudden destruction falls onthem, as suddenly as labour pains come on a pregnant woman; and there is no escape.

    •4 But you, brothers, do not live in the dark, that the Day should take you unawares like a thief.

    • 5 No, you are all children of light and children of the day: we do not belong to the night or todarkness,

    •6 so we should not go on sleeping, as everyone else does, but stay wide awake and sober.

    •7 Night is the time for sleepers to sleep and night the time for drunkards to be drunk,

    •8 but we belong to the day and we should be sober; let us put on faith and love for a breastplate, and thehope of salvation for a helmet.

    •9 God destined us not for his retribution, but to win salvation through our Lord Jesus Christ,

    •10 who died for us so that, awake or asleep, we should still live united to him.

    •11 So give encouragement to each other, and keep strengthening one another, as you do already.

    AdventAdvent is a period of preparation, extending over four Sundays, before Christmas Theword Advent comes from the Latin advenio, "to come to," and refers to the coming of

    Christ. This refers, first of all, to our celebration of Christ's birth at Christmas; but second,to the coming of Christ in our lives through grace and the Sacrament of HolyCommunion; and finally, to His Second Coming at the end of time.

    ChristmasChristmas is one of the most important days of the Church year, second only to Easter itself. It is the feast of the incarnation, the feast of God becoming flesh (the Latin "in carne" means "enfleshment"). It is a uniquely Christian teaching, the Divine choosing to become one of us. Because of this belief,God is not only Transcendent, but also wholly Immanent, Emmanuel (God-with-us). While remaining Transcendent (meaning we must rise above our present condition to reach Him), He is at the same time Immanent (meaning He is with us as we rise toward Him). Every Eucharist is like Christmas where the bread and wine are transformed into His flesh, His Body and Blood, and, in a sense, He is born anew on the altar.

    The liturgical season of Christmas begins with the vigil Masses on Christmas Eve and concludes on the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. During this season, we celebrate the birth of Christ into our world and into our hearts, and reflect on the gift of salvation that is bornwith him…including the fact that he was born to die for us. The Christmas tree and the Nativity scene are popular symbols of the season and a tradition in many Christian homes. It is also traditional to exchange Christmas gifts with family and friends as a way to honor God the Father's gift of his only son to the world. Having received the gift of Christ, we naturally want to pass that gift along to our loved ones.

    Epiphany

    • Now after contemplating the staggering fact that God has become a human child, we turn to look at this mystery from the opposite angle and realize that this seemingly helpless Child is, in fact,

    the omnipotent God, the King and Ruler of theuniverse. The feast of Christ's divinity completesthe feast of His humanity. It fulfills all our Adventlonging for the King "who is come with great po

    wer and majesty." We see that whereas Christmas is the family feast of Christianity, Epiphany is the great "world feast of the Catholic Church."

    Lent

    • In Lent, the baptized are called to renew their baptismal commitment as others prepare to be baptized through the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, a period of learning and discernment for individuals whohave declared their desire to become Catholics.

    • The key to fruitful observance of these practices is to recognize their link to baptismal renewal. We are called not just to abstain from sin during Lent, but to

    true conversion of our hearts and minds as followersof Christ. We recall those waters in which we were baptized into Christ's death, died to sin and evil, andbegan new life in Chr

    Holy week

    • The summit of the Liturgical Year is the Easter Triduum—from theevening of Holy Thursday to the evening of Easter Sunday. Though chronologically three days, they are liturgically one day unfolding for us the unity of Christ's Paschal Mystery.

    The single celebration of the Triduum marks the end of the Lenten season, and leads to the Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord at the Easter Vigil.

    • The liturgical services that take place during the Triduum are:

    • Mass of the Lord's Supper•

    Good Friday of the Lord's Passion• Mass of the Resurrection of the Lord

    Easter

    • The Easter Vigil is the "Mother of All Vigils."Easter Sunday, then, is the greatest of all Sundays, and EasterTime is the most important of all liturgical times.Easter is the celebration of the Lord's resurrection from the dead, culminating in his Ascension to the Fatherand sending of the Holy Spirit upon the Church.There are 50 days of Easter from the first Sunday to Pentecost.It is characterized, above all, by the joy of glorified life and the victory over death, expressed most f ully in the great resounding cry of the Christian: All

    eluia! All faith flows from faith in the resurrection:"IfChrist has not been raised, then empty is our preaching; empty, too, is your faith." (1 Cor 15:14)

    Pentecost

    • Pentecost Sunday is one of the most ancient feasts of the Church, celebrated earlyenough to be mentioned in the Acts of t

    he Apostles (20:16) and St. Paul's First Letter to the Corinthians (16:8). It supplantsthe Jewish feast of Pentecost, which took

    place 50 days after the Passover and which celebrated the sealing of the Old Covenant on Mount Sinai.

    Ordinary Time

    • The Sundays and weeks of Ordinary Time, on the other hand, take us through the life of Christ.This is the time of conversion. This is living the life of Christ.

    Ordinary Time is a time for growth and maturation, a time in which the mystery of Christ is called to penetrate ever more deeply into history until all things are finally caught up in Christ. The goal, toward which all of history is directed, is rep

    resented by the final Sunday in Ordinary Time, the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe
