Podcasts about Liturgical year

Mother reads from Dom Prosper Gueranger's "The Liturgical Year." Mother answers questions about whether Jesus is physically on the Earth, what to do if a priest tells you not to kneel during the consecration of the Eucharist, whether the Eucharist can be gluten-free, whether a person with celiac disease can safely receive the Eucharist if it isn't low-gluten, how to create a strong Catholic home while also managing practical responsibilities, and what to do if you divorced and remarried while away from the church.

The Liturgical Year is a multi-volume work written between 1841 and 1875, by Dom Prosper Gueranger, abbot of the French Benedictine abbey of Solesmes. It is a rich theological reflection on the various feasts and seasons of the Church's liturgical cycle.

This Sunday, February 8, we continue our yearlong “How to Be an Episcopalian” series. In this session, we talk about the Daily Office and the Liturgical Year. This section of the class uses six sessions to address a map of spiritual practices (including Holy Eucharist, the Daily Office, personal reflection, community participation, and service) that has traditionally characterized parish life in the Anglican tradition. My claim is that when a person lives within this rhythm long enough, their faith becomes steady, habitual, charitable, and integrated into daily life.We are in the midst of a yearlong course designed to ground participants in the thinking and practices of the Christian faith as lived in the Episcopal Church. The aim is not merely education, but transformation: to set loose an energy in individuals that stirs new thinking and behavior — opening the way to a new place in one's spiritual journey.

Religion & Spirituality - Laura Lewis-Barr - Marci Madary

Read OnlineJesus came with his disciples into the house. Again the crowd gathered, making it impossible for them even to eat. When his relatives heard of this they set out to seize him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” Mark 3:20–21Today's Gospel is among the shortest passages read at Mass throughout the Liturgical Year, yet it conveys a profound message.The scene opens with Jesus and His disciples—likely the newly appointed Twelve Apostles—taking a moment of rest in a house to eat. Jesus had been tirelessly traveling from village to village, preaching the Kingdom of God and healing many. His reputation had spread far and wide, and people were seeking Him with urgency. As the crowd discovered where He was, they surrounded the house so closely that even basic necessities like eating became impossible. This detail highlights not a lament over the demands on Jesus' time but the fervent excitement and longing that drew so many to Him. Jesus welcomed this with open arms, as He always does, moved by the profound needs of the human heart.Though the disciples might have felt overwhelmed, Jesus' heart, as Matthew's Gospel later records, was “moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd” (Matthew 9:36). His compassion for the crowd reveals the depth of God's love and His readiness to meet every human longing.The reaction of Jesus' relatives offers another important lesson for reflection. Some of His extended family—cousins, aunts, uncles, or others—were alarmed at the crowds He was attracting. They might have been troubled by the growing tension between Jesus and the Pharisees and Herodians, fearing for His safety. Perhaps they struggled to reconcile the stories of miracles and teachings with the humble, quiet Jesus they had known for decades. Since Jesus had not revealed His divine mission during His early life, His sudden manifestation of power likely left them confused and seeking to intervene.This familial tension reveals an important truth: when God acts powerfully in our lives, we too will change, and those close to us may struggle to understand. Though Jesus did not experience conversion as we do, His family witnessed a profound “change” in that He began to publicly manifest His divinity in a way that they had not seen before.As we seek to follow Christ more radically, we might encounter doubt or even resistance from family or friends. Jesus' example teaches us to face these tensions with courage and love, trusting that fidelity to God's will is always the highest priority. Like Jesus, we must persevere, offering a gentle but firm witness to the transformative power of God in our lives.As you ponder this Gospel, consider the following: Do you, like the crowd, need to pursue our Lord more fervently, seeking Him with urgency and persistence in prayer? Are you, like the disciples, sometimes overwhelmed by the demands of Christian discipleship? Do you see yourself in Jesus' extended family, questioning or struggling to understand the radical conversion of someone close to you? Or are you more like our Lord, experiencing the tension of family misunderstanding as you strive to live more fully in conformity with God's will? Reflect today on this emotional and multifaceted scene. As you identify with the lessons of this short Gospel, renew your resolve to seek Jesus with all your heart, embrace the conversion to which He calls you, and allow His transformative power to shine through your life. Finally, strive to help others understand and support the new life you have chosen, offering a gentle and loving witness to the joy and peace found in Christ. My tireless Lord, the demands placed on You during Your public ministry were great, yet You ministered to all with unfailing compassion. Please grant me the zeal I need to always seek You in my life. As I encounter You and am transformed by Your grace, give me the wisdom and patience to be a faithful witness to others, especially my family. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: See page for author, CC BY 4.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource of content: catholic-daily-reflections.comCopyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, November 30, the Catholic Church begins a new Liturgical Year with the First Sunday of Advent. It's the beginning of a new period of prayer and penance, and a renewed commitment to the true faith.The entire Liturgy of the Advent season spurs us to an awakening in our Christian life and puts us in a ‘vigilant' disposition, waiting for Our Lord Jesus, who is coming.The Season of Advent is therefore a season of spiritual waiting that prepares us to welcome the mystery of the Word Incarnate. The true light enters the world through the immaculate womb of Mary.This light flows out into our dark, obscure, sinful lives to illuminate them, so that we can become the light that illuminates the world.As Saint John Henry Newman said, "Advent is a time of waiting, it is a time of joy because the coming of Christ is not only a gift of grace and salvation, but it is also a time of commitment because it motivates us to live the present as a time of responsibility and vigilance."Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

If you have ever wondered why the Church keeps an annual liturgical calendar of feasts and celebrations, you are not alone...Advent, Christmas, Ordinary Time, Lent, Triduum, Easter, Ordinary Time. This cycle that seems to be on permanent repeat each and every year is actually a great gift that the Church bestows upon us.

In this episode, I talk with Diana Butler Bass about her new book A Beautiful Year and the deeper story that sits beneath our experience of time. We explore how the Roman calendar still shapes us with the imagination of empire - militarism, consumerism, and control - and how the Christian calendar offers a counter-formation rooted in love, hope, peace, and a circular sense of time that keeps drawing us deeper into God. Diana walks us through Advent's darkness and silence, the meaning of waiting in an age addicted to noise, the subversive beauty of St. Martin's Day on November 11, and the power of saying “no” to imperial narratives through the ordinary practices that shape a life. We talk about storytelling, grief, Candlemas, the parables of Jesus, and how the Christian year can help us embody a different kind of presence in the world - one marked by compassion, courage, and light. This is a conversation about time, but really, it's about learning to live a better story.Diana Butler Bass, Ph.D. (Duke University) is an award-winning author of eleven books, a speaker, preacher, and a trusted commentator on religion and contemporary spirituality.

This episode was first released on October 27, 2023 In this episode, we discuss the article Father Anthony wrote for our publication The Seraph for November. He broke down All Hallows' Eve, All Saints' Day, & All Souls' Day as a guide to help us end the Liturgical Year with a sense of hope that will drive our love for the faith. As promised, here is the short form of the Baptismal Vows: "I renounce Satan and all his works and I pledge myself to Jesus Christ forever!"
