Liturgical Seasons Easter God Calls Us Now . "He commissioned us to preach to the people and testify that he is the one appointed by God." The celebration of the Easter Vigil is the beginning of the season of Easter. The Vigil is the Christian feast; of new birth, new beginnings, salvation renewed, and humanity restored to the Lord. While it marks the end of the paschal fast, the end of the celebration of Holy Week, and the end of repentance and conversion for which Lent prepared the community, it is much more a beginning. It is the beginning of a new season of grace and a time of joy and thanksgiving, for Easter is not one day or one solemnity-it is a fifty day celebration, and the fifty days from Easter Sunday to Pentecost Sunday together comprise what the General Instruction terms "the great Sunday".

Ordinary Time Ordinary Time (counted time) is the liturgical period outside of the distinctive liturgical seasons, and runs 33 or 34 weeks. In Latin, Ordinary Time is called Tempus Per Annum ("time throughout the year"). Ordinary Time falls between Christmas and Lent, and between Easter and Advent. It is far from ordinary! Advent Christmas is here! Or is it? Before the end of October one sees the signs of Christmas everywhere. But by the time December 25 arrives, most people are "Christmased" out - too many parties, rich foods and stretched budgets. We Catholics don't need to draw our drapes and twiddle our thumbs while the rest of society is celebrating Christmas in advance. Instead, we can celebrate two seasons: Advent and Christmas. The Church begins a new Liturgical Year on the First Sunday of Advent. During the subsequent four weeks, she prepares with mounting expectation for the coming of Christ in a spirit of waiting, conversion and hope.

Christmas The season to celebrate the Lord's birth, his manifestation to the world, and His baptism that began his ministry. The season begins on Christmas Eve and ends as we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. During Christmas Season we also celebrate the Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, and the Feast of the Epiphany. Lent "God Calls Us Now" Lent is a 40-day liturgical season that begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes at the Great Vigil of Easter. Sundays are not included in the 40-day count because every Sunday is a joyful celebration of Jesus' resurrection. Though not biblical, Lent has long been a tradition in the Christian Church, and it is thought that the tradition of the 40 days recalls the 40 days Jesus spent in the wilderness, fasting and being tempted by Satan (Matthew 4:1-11). Lent is considered a time of penance and discipline. Because of Lent's penitential nature, worship tends to be more solemn, and purple is the liturgical color of the season. Some congregations remove flowers from the worship space, and for many, songs of praise like the Gloria in Excelsis ("Glory in the highest") and expressions of joy like the exclamation "Alleluia" ("Praise the Lord") are removed from the liturgy until Easter. Many congregations hold special mid-week worship services and promote other devotional activities to help their members concentrate on the Lenten disciplines of fasting, almsgiving (charity) and prayer. Weddings and Baptisms are not ordinarily celebrated during this season. Lent is a 40-day liturgical season that begins on Ash Wednesday and concludes at the Great Vigil of Easter.

The Paschal Triduum The "Three Days": Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter Vigil-the three holiest days of the Catholic Church Year. We recall and celebrate the life, death and resurrection of our Savior, Jesus Christ. Our Mission ~ The St. Francis of Assisi community is a welcoming Christian family. We believe in Jesus Christ, and are guided by the Holy Spirit and the example of St. Francis. We gather to celebrate, to grow in the knowledge of our faith rooted in the Catholic tradition, and to recognize our responsibility to reach out to the world.

Liturgijska godina Liturgijska ili Crkvena godina je godišnji ciklus razdoblja i blagdana u kršćanskim crkvama kojim se određuje u koje doba treba obdržavati koji liturgijski obred i na koji način. Svako razdoblje i blagdan u liturgijskoj godini ima svoje značenje i pravila liturgijskih slavlja, posebno mise. Tu spada sadržaj mise, čitanja, boje liturgijskog ruha i ostalo. Liturgijska razdoblja dodaju se povrh fiksnog kalendara i vezana su za neke fiksne dane, tjedne i datum Uskrsa. Zato ne počinju i ne završavaju isto svake godine. Jedna crkvena godina završava svetkovinom Krista Kralja, a druga započinje 1. nedjeljom Došašća. Liturgijsku godinu sačinjava: došašće, Božićno vrijeme, korizma, Uskrsno vrijeme i vrijeme kroz godinu. Došašće Došašće je prvo razdoblje u liturgijskoj godini, vrijeme priprave za Božić. Kršćani se pripremaju za proslavu Kristovog prvog dolaska, ali i za njegov drugi dolazak. Prije je došašće bilo pokorničko vrijeme strogo poput korizme, ali se danas to bitno ublažilo. Počinje u nedjelju najbližu blagdanu Sv. Andrije (30. studenog) i traje do Badnjaka 24. prosinca navečer. Badnja večer liturgijski već spada pod Božić. Došašće ima točno četiri nedjelje. Svetkovine koje padnu u nedjelju prebacuju se na subotu prije. Liturgijska boja je ljubičasta, osim treće nedjelje došašća (tzv. Radosna nedjelja) kada se može obući i roza. Božićno vrijeme: Nova liturgijska godina započinje 1. nedjeljom Došašća. Računa se unatrag, jer su četiri nedjelje Došašća. Ono nas vodi prema svetkovini Božića, koje se slavi osam dana, završavajući na blagdan Marije Bogorodice, 1. siječnja. U božićno vrijeme spada još i blagdan sv. Tri Kralja, te završava blagdanom Krštenja Gospodinova. Boja liturgijskog ruha u Božićnom vremenu je bijela. Korizma Korizma je pokorničko vrijeme priprave za Uskrs. To je posebno ozbiljno liturgijsko vrijeme kada se kršćane poziva da više mole, izvršavaju pokoru i čine dobra djela. Pokora traje 40 dana kao spomen na četrdesetodnevni Isusov post u pustinji prije krštenja Korizma počinje na Čistu srijedu (Pepelnicu) i traje do pred misu Večere Gospodnje na Veliki četvrtak. Na Čistu srijedu obavezan je post i nemrs, a petkom u korizmi nemrs. Vjernike se poziva i na druge oblike pokore, molitve, duhovne vježbe isl. Trebala bi se izbjegavati velika slavlja. Posljednji tjedan prije Uskrsa naziva se Veliki tjedan. On počinje na Nedjelju muke Gospodnje (Cvjetnica) kada se slavi Isusov mesijanski ulazak u Jeruzalem i spominje se muke. Preciznije, mesijanski ulazak u Jeruzalem se slavi u procesiji prije jedne od misa, a na samoj misi se spominje muke. Liturgijska boja na Cvjetnicu je crvena. Uskrsno vrijeme: Uskrs je središnji kršćanski blagdan. Ima dva razdoblja; korizmu, kao pripravu i pouskrsno vrijeme do Duhova. Korizma traje 40 dana, a Uskrs se slavi prve nedjelje nakon prvog punog mjeseca nakon proljetnog ekvinocija. Korizmeno vrijeme doživljava svoj vrhunac u Velikom tjednu kada slavimo Isusovu muku, smrt i uskrsnuće. Poslije Uskrsa traje sedmotjedno vrijeme, koje završava Uzašašćem, odnosno silaskom Duha Svetoga, kada Crkva slavi rođendan. Liturgijska boja je bijela osim na Duhove kada je crvena. Vrijeme kroz godinu: Ostalo vrijeme između božićnog i uskrsnog ciklusa naziva se vrijeme kroz godinu. Ukupno ima 33 ili 34 tjedna, a dijeli se u dva dijela. Prvi dio započinje s ponedjeljkom po blagdanu Krštenja Gospodinova (prva nedjelja poslije Bogojavljenja) i traje do utorka uoči Pepelnice. Nastavlja se drugim dijelom u ponedjeljak poslije Duhova i završava u subotu pred početak Došašća. Umjesto prve nedjelje kroz godinu slavi se blagdan Krštenja Gospodinova. U nedjelju poslije Duhova slavi se svetkovina Presvetog Trojstva. Posljednje nedjelje kroz godinu slavi se svetkovina Krista Kralja. Nedjelje kojima počinju tjedni u vremenu kroz godinu nazivaju se po broju tjedna, npr. 27. nedjelja kroz godinu. Slavlja predviđena u vrijeme kroz godinu često se izostavljaju jer ustupaju mjesto drugim slavljima. Tako 1. nedjelja kroz godinu uopće ne postoji jer prvi tjedan kroz godnu počinje u ponedjeljak iza Krštenja Gospodinovog. Nedjelje kroz godinu ustupajuju mjesto ne samo svetkovinama nego i Gospodnjim blagdanima, dok dani u tjednu ustupaju mjesto obaveznim spomendanima, a po želji svećenika i neobaveznim spomendanima ili drugim slavljima. Liturgijska boja je zelena.
