Living Liturgically

The liturgical calendar has the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent, Easter, and ordinary time. It includes holy days: solemnities, feast days celebrating the saints, and important events in the lives of the Holy Family and the early Church. There are days for feasting and days for fasting, seasons for preparation, for penance, for celebration. 

Liturgical living is the way we approach those days and seasons, particularly in regards to the Mass.  Liturgical living in daily life means making those devotions associated with specific seasons and months and days part of our daily lives and into the life of our  families. Liturgical living is truly living our Baptismal call to strive for holiness and to be saints.

“The only real sadness, the only real failure, the only great tragedy in life, is not to become a saint.”

- Leon Bly, French Novelist
