4 Program Summary Advent is a season of expectation both for the final coming of the Lord and for the annual celebration of his birth at Christmas. This series tries to capture the spirit of Advent through its liturgical prayers, Scripture readings, music and poetry. Special attention is given to the three great figures of Advent: The Blessed Virgin Mary, John the Baptist and the Prophet Isaiah. One topic focuses entirely on the two great Marian feasts of Advent: the Immaculate Conception (December 8) and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the Americas (December 12). As a season of expectation Advent encourages us to reflect on the place of Christian hope in our lives as well as on the great message of social justice preached by John the Baptist and by the prophets of the Old Testament. The final week of Advent with its O Antiphons inspires us to pray ardently: O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. Christmas is the most popular season of our Christian liturgical year. It celebrates the birth of the Lord Jesus on December 25 as well as a number of feasts associated with his Incarnation. By means of the liturgical prayers, the Scripture readings and the poetry and music of Christmas, you can grow in appreciation of the meaning of its celebration for our lives and in our world. Through this series, you will focus on the Holy Night on which our Savior was born and on the origins of Christmas in the city of Rome. Explore the other two Masses of Christmas Day with their rich collection of prayers and readings. Christmas Day is followed by the Companions of Christ, celebrations that deepen our appreciation of Christmas. Christmas is further enriched by the celebration of Epiphany with its emphasis on the revelation of the Lord to the nations. Two other feasts complete this celebration of the Incarnation: the Baptism of the Lord is celebrated on the Sunday (sometimes the Monday) following Epiphany and is the formal completion of the Christmas season. The Presentation of the Lord is celebrated on February 2 and is a kind of informal conclusion to the season before the beginning of Lent. This course will give you newfound Christmas joy and understanding. W W W. N O W Y O U K N O W M E D I A. C O M / /
