9 Announcement of Easter and the Moveable Feasts for the year 2018 Know, dear brothers and sisters, that, as we have rejoiced at the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ, so by leave of God's mercy we announce to you also the joy of his Resurrection, who is our Savior. On the fourteenth day of February will fall Ash Wednesday, and the beginning of the fast of the most sacred Lenten season. On the first day of April you will celebrate with joy Easter Day, the Paschal feast of our Lord Jesus Christ. In those places where the Ascension is transferred to the Seventh Sunday of Easter: On the thirteenth day of May will be the Ascension of our Lord Jesus Christ. On the twentieth day of May, the feast of Pentecost. On the third day of June the feast of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Christ. On the second day of December, the First Sunday of the Advent of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom is honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen. Living out Christmas in the New Year How do we live out the message of Christmas in the New Year, rather than pack it away with the ornaments? Each year the Octave Day of Christmas falls on the first day of the New Year, on which we also celebrate the Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the Mother of God. Her open heart and courageous yes to God show us how to live year round with hearts open to the Lord, following where He leads. We are called to place our trust in Him, to enter compassionately into the suffering of others, and to love one another as Christ loves us. Like Our Blessed Mother welcomed Jesus, we are called to cherish and protect the gi of human life, at every stage and in every circumstance. One way to live out the message of Christmas and follow Our Lady s example is to join 9 Days for Life, a digital pilgrimage of prayer and charitable ac on. The U.S. Catholic bishops invite you to join thousands of Catholics na onwide from Thursday, January 18 Friday, January 26. Join today at Reprinted (excerpted) from 9 Days for Life, copyright 2017, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, D.C. All rights reserved.
