Each year, the Church invites Christians to walk with Jesus and to celebrate his coming, his Death, and his Resurrection through the rhythm of Sundays and religious feasts throughout the year. Jesus is at the center of our daily lives because he is our Savior; his life and his sacrifice changed our lives forever. He opened to humanity the gates of God’s kingdom: throughout the year, with him, and with all the saints who precede us into heaven, we respond to his invitation to enter it. My Prayer throughout the Liturgical Year Understanding the Liturgical Calendar The liturgical calendar is the calendar of the whole Church year. It includes the dates of all the feasts and seasons we celebrate as Catholics! The liturgical calendar changes each year. To know which page you can pray with each week, you need to know where we are in the liturgical calendar.
