There are many ways of ordering our time. The liturgical year is the Church’s way for centering and ordering our lives around Christ. Through the cycle of liturgical seasons and special feast days, we are reminded of God’s love revealed to us through Jesus Christ and invited to enter into God’s time and his salvation.
This pastoral resource provides an insightful and spiritually engaging overview of the meaning of the liturgical year, the liturgical seasons, the importance of Sunday, and the role of the saints in leading us to Christ. It will help you embrace the sacredness of the liturgical year and allow it to order your prayer and personal life so that, in all you do, Christ is at its center.
“This booklet makes liturgical theology appealing to a wide range of audiences—family faith formation groups, Christian initiation ministries, parish liturgy committees, and individual parishioners. The reflection questions at the end of each chapter assist the reader to more deeply ponder the liturgical themes presented. Christ Our Center beautifully expresses how liturgical living is transformative and transcendental, echoing in our daily lives the eternal glory of God in heaven!”
—Cynthia Mulcaire Director of Faith Formation
Holy Trinity Parish El Dorado Hills, CA
“Christ Our Center is beautifully written and easily understood no matter where you are on your faith journey. The authors break down the liturgical year so simply with excellent description. I particularly enjoyed the thoughtful reflection questions that act as a call to action in your faith. It is also wonderful how it ties in the Christian initiation process, which draws new people to baptism every year. I highly recommend reading it!”
—Shannon Langer Director of Religious Education
Diocese of Sacramento, CA
