DECEMBER 2013 § CYCLE OF PRAYER – /CHRISTMAS We are asked to pray for these intentions: Openness to the Word of God; Migrants and Refugees; Expectant Mothers. Migrants’ Day Tuesday 3 December Bible Sunday Sunday 8 December 2nd Sunday of Advent Expectant Mothers especially on 22 December 4th Sunday of Advent

LECTIONARY FOR SUNDAYS: YEAR A

ADVENT Advent has a twofold character: as a season to prepare for Christmas, when Christ’s first coming to us is remembered; and as a season when that remembrance directs the mind and heart to await Christ’s coming at the end of time. Advent is thus a period for devout and joyful expectation. The playing of the organ and other musical instruments, and the decoration of the with flowers should be done in a moderate manner, as is consonant with the character of the season, without anticipating the full joy of the Nativity of the Lord. The same moderation should be observed in the celebration of marriage.

JUNE 2014 7 Sat W Easter feria

The fifty days of the sacred season of Easter conclude with Pentecost Sunday, when the Church recalls the gift of the Holy Spirit to the Apostles, the beginnings of the Church, and the start of her mission to all tongues and peoples and nations. It is appropriate that the Vigil Mass of Pentecost be celebrated in the extended form, using the readings and prayers to be found in the liturgical books. This Mass, however, does not have a baptismal character, as does the Easter Vigil, but instead is a celebration of more intense prayer, after the example of the Apostles and disciples, who together with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, were one in persevering prayer, as they awaited the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

LECTIONARY FOR SUNDAYS: YEAR B

ADVENT Advent has a two-fold character: as a season to prepare for Christmas, when Christ’s first coming to us is remembered; and as a season when that remembrance directs the mind and heart to await Christ’s coming at the end of time. Advent is thus a period for devout and joyful expectation.

The playing of the organ and other musical instruments, and the decoration of the altar with flowers should be done in a moderate manner, as is consonant with the character of the season, without anticipating the full joy of the Nativity of the Lord. The same moderation should be observed in the celebration of marriage.
