LECTIONARY READINGS • Vatican II expanded the cycle of Sunday readings from one year to three (Years A, B, and C) • The 3 synoptic Gospels—Mathew, Mark, and Luke— were assigned for each year. • In general Matthew, Mark and Luke provide a sequential narrative of the life and ministry of Jesus. • The Gospel of John, which is very different in character and purpose from the synoptic gospels, fills in at certain times during Years A, B, and C and is primary reserved for the Easter season I all three cycles.
• ADVENT: the liturgical season of four week devoted to preparation for the coming of Christ in Christmas. (524) • ANNUCIATION: The visitation of the angel Gabriel to the virgin Mary to inform her that she was to be the mother of the Savior. • After giving her consent to God’s word, Mary became the mother of Jesus by the power of the Holy Spirit (484, 494) • ANCENSION: The entry of Jesus’ humanity into divine glory in God’s heavenly domain, 40 days after His Resurrection (659,665) • ASSUMPTION: the dogma that recognizes the Blessed Virgin Mary’s singular participation in her Son’s Resurrection by which she was taken up body and soul into heavenly glory, when the course of her earthly life was finished (2124-5) • CHRISTMAS: The feast of the Nativity, the birth of Jesus (1171)
• EASTER: The greatest and oldest Christian feast, which celebrates Christ’s Resurrection from the death. Easter is the “feast of feasts”, the solemnity of solemnities, the “Great Sunday”. Christians prepare for it during LENT and HOLY WEEK, and catechumens usually receive the Sacraments of Christian Initiation (Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist) at the Easter Vigil (1169; cf. 647) • EPIPHANY: The feast that celebrates the manifestation to the world of the newborn Christ the Messiah, Son of God, and Savior of the world. The feast of EPIPHANY celebrates the adoration of Jesus by the wise men (magi) from the east, together with his baptism in the Jordan and the wedding feast of Cana in Galilee (528; cf. 535). • FEAST DAYS: The annual cycle of liturgical celebrations commemorating the saving mysteries of Christ’s life, as a participation in the Paschal Mystery, which is celebrated annually at Easter, the “feast of feast.” • Feast Days commemorating Mary, the Mother of God, and the saints are also celebrated, providing the faithful with examples of those who have been glorified with Christ. (1169, 1173).
• HOLY DAYS OF OBLIGATION: Principal feast days on which, in addition to Sunday, Catholics are obligated by Church law to participated in the Eucharist; a precept on the Church (2043, 2180). • HOLY WEEK: The week preceding Easter, beginning with Palm Sunday, called the “Great Week” in the liturgies of the Easter Churches. It marks the Church’s annual celebration of the events of Christ’s passion, death, and resurrection, culminating in the Pascal Mystery (1169). • IMMACULATE CONPCEPTION: The dogma proclaimed in Christian Tradition and defined in 1854, that from the first moment of her conception, Mary— by the singular grace of God and by virtue of the merits of Jesus Christ— was preserved immune from original sin (421). • PENTECOST: The 50th day a the end of the seven week following Passover (Easter in the Christian dispensation). At first Pentecost after the Resurrection and Ascension of Jesus, the Holy Spirit was manifested, given and communicated as a divine Person to the Church, fulfilling the paschal mystery of Christ according to His Promise (726, 731; cf. 1287). • Annually the Church celebrates the memory of the Pentecost event as the beginning of the new “age of the Church”, when Christ lives and acts in and with His Church (1076)
