6 THE HIGHLIGHTS OF THE LITURGICAL SEASON ADVENT (from the Latin word adventus meaning coming ) a time of expectant waiting and preparation for the celebration of the Nativity of Jesus at Christmas. It is the beginning of the liturgical year. The theme in this particular season is The Lord is coming. Prepare the way of the Lord! The liturgical color is violet. Violet is a subdued color which signifies humility, penitence/repentance, preparation and hope. It used to be considered the Royal color reserved for the king. People in the villages and towns were made aware of the coming of the king by the display along the main roads of violet banners and flaglets. Traditionally, four violet colored candles (one candle every Sunday) are lighted. CHRISTMAS (Latin, Christe missa est, which literally means Christ has been sent ). The theme: Rejoice! The King has come! The color is white or gold and gold are colors of joy, colors of rejoicing and festivity. It symbolizes the dawn of hope and the coming of the true light. God in his goodness and mercy wrought the way of reconciliation, redemption and salvation of the world by sending his begotten Son, the Emmanuel. Related symbols: The manger the dirtiest place with unpleasant odor because of the dung and urine of animals. It symbolizes the sinful state of man and the world. Jesus was born for the sinners and the lost, not for the righteous. He came not to condemn but to redeem. It also symbolizes that Jesus is truly the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world.

7 Bethlehem - Its root word is beth and lehem which means House of Bread. Jesus is the true bread of life. Shepherds In the Gospel according to Luke, the shepherds were the first visitors of the newly born babe. It signifies that Jesus is the Shepherd of shepherds. In Ezekiel 34, rulers of Israel are also called shepherd of Israel. The baby born in the manger is the King of kings and Lord of lords (Rev.19:16). Angels are considered God s messenger. The baby born is the greatest messenger who is both the herald and the message (logos) of God. EPIPHANY From Greek epiphainein reveal. Old French epiphanie and ecclesiastical Latin epiphania, meaning vision of God, which falls on January 6, is a Christian feast day that celebrates the revelation of God the Son as a human being in Jesus Christ even to the Gentile world. The color is White symbolizing a shining ray of light. The center of the sun is called corona. Nobody has ever seen the corona of the sun with his naked eye, yet through its rays we know the presence of the sun. In the Nicene Creed we declare that Jesus is the Light from light and True God from True God. Related symbols: Gold is the usual gift given to a king. One of the magi recognized the baby as a king. This is the reason why the visitors went directly to the palace of Herod and asked: Where is he who has been king of the Jews? (Mt. 2:2). Incense used as a symbol of offering to God. One of the magi recognized the baby as the Son of God. Myrrh is a gum resin with a sweet smell and a bitter taste perfume extracted from the bark of trees genus Gommiphora, family Burseraceae, in E. Africa and Arabia. It contains anesthetic substance compound that renders loss of normal perception of pain (see mark 15:23). One of the magi recognized the baby as a sacrificial offering.

8 EPIPHANY SEASON The color for the rest of the Epiphany season is green. means life, active and fruitful. Jesus is on the move in pursuit of his mission beginning at his baptism, calling people to join his cause in establishing God s Kingdom, teaching them to become effective fishers of people, performing miracles and healing, and on the last Sunday, revealed himself in a transfiguration event as the fulfiller and the fulfillment of the Law (represented by Moses) and the teachings of the prophets (represented by Elijah). God the Father revealed Jesus as the only authority in heaven and on earth: This is my well beloved Son in whom I am well pleased. Listen to him (Mt. 17:5). LENTEN SEASON is known as Quarisma (40 days), counting from Ash Wednesday to Palm Sunday, commemorating the 40 days fasting of Jesus in the wilderness before the beginning of his public ministry. Just like Advent, the color is Violet with the same implication humility, penitence and repentance. It is also the preparation for the coming of the King which waiting culminates in Palm Sunday, the triumphal entry of the King of kings. The traditional purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer through prayer, repentance, almsgiving and self-denial. It is introduced by Ash Wednesday with the theme: Remember O man that you came from dust and to dust you shall return with the imposition of ashes on the forehead. This is to put us back to a realization of our humble beginning lest we become boastful and proud. This is to check our life s focus lest we become so engrossed with seeking for material things rather than seeking first the kingdom of God and his righteousness and laying up treasures on earth rather than in heaven. What will benefit a man if he gains the whole world but loses his own soul? (Mt. 17:26).

9 PALM SUNDAY also known as the Triumphal Entry of Jesus to Jerusalem. The color is Red. Red symbolizes bravery and blood or sacrifice. Jesus knew he was going to die and even forecasted his death a couple of times. Yet he braved it. He entered Jerusalem as King of the Jews (INRI - Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum ) which truth he did not deny before Pontius Pilate. The throng met him with songs of alleluiahs and hosannas waving in the air palms and branches of olives. Related symbols: 1. PALMS and branches of olives are symbols of victory. In the old coins of Rome is found the inscription of palms. In the old tradition on Christian burial, the dead held a palm representing victory over death. Holding and waving of palms is in a way a proclamation that Jesus is our only king. In quandary situations we should opt to obey God rather the men (Acts 5:29). 2. COLT symbolizes humility, a low ly animal of peace. It is also a visible sign that Jesus is the true king, the fulfillment of the prophecy of Prophet Zechariah (9:9). MAUNDY THURSDAY The word Maundy is derived from the Latin word mandatum, the first word of the phrase Mandatum novum do vobis ut diligatis invicem sicut dilexi vos ( A new commandment I give to you. That you love one another, as I have loved you, John 13:34). There were two orders given by Jesus on this occasion: The institution of the Holy Eucharist Do this in remembrance of me and after washing the feet of the disciples, the command to Love one another, as I have loved you. This occasion refers us also to the Passover Night where the lamb without blemish is slain and its blood is blotched on the doorpost and lintels of the house for the angel of death to see and

10 Passover. The blood of the lamb was the seal of the old covenant. The blood of Jesus is the seal of the new covenant. The color is white which symbolizes a joyful character of the occasion portraying a banquet with the presence of the groom. Theme: Love to the extent of laying down oneself for others or breaking oneself as bread to give life to others or stooping so low to reach out those who have fallen. GOOD FRIDAY The color is red symbolizing bravery and sacrifice. It is good because on this day Jesus suffered death upon the cross for our redemption and made there by the one offering of himself a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice for the sins of the whole world. By the wounds of Jesus we are healed and by His precious blood our sins are blotted out. EASTER SUNDAY is the greatest and central feast in the Christian world. Without the resurrection, there could have been no hope of eternal life in Christian religion. The color is white or gold symbolizing a new day, new life and victory over the power of darkness. The theme is Christ is risen. He is risen indeed! Easter begins with Easter vigil. Symbols involved are: A Paschal Candle - symbolizing Christ, the Apha and Omega, the true light of the world that vanquished the power of darkness and death and in whose wounds we are healed. The Font and the new water symbolizing cleansing, new birth and new life.

11 ASCENSION DAY This is celebrated on the 40th day after Easter. Ascension Day is always a Thursday. The color is white or gold. He ascended into heaven and seated on the right hand of the Father. The suggested Central Theme is: The Authority and Power of Jesus. PENTECOST SUNDAY know n also as Whitsunday. This is celebrated on the 50th day after Easter. It is a commemoration of the descent of the Holy Spirit upon the disciples giving them the strength for the work they had to do in his Name. This day is also considered as the Birthday of the Church. The color is red symbolizing the flame of fire. TRINITY SUNDAY This is the Sunday following Pentecost Sunday. The color is white signifying the shroud that veils the holy communion of the Triune God. TRINITY SEASON: The color for the whole season is green with the exception of feast days where red or white may be used. is the color of life, grow th, development and spreading or reaching out. Trinity Season is also known as missionary season. This is the season for building up and edifying the kingdom of God. Most of the lessons in this season are Parables about the Kingdom of God and about stewardship. THE CHRIST THE KING SUNDAY: This is the last Sunday of the liturgical year and the enthronement of Jesus as the King of kings or the Feast of Christ the King. Jesus reigns forever. His kingdom shall have no end and his kingship has dominion over all.

12 Days of Holy Week and of the Easter Octave That the Days of Holy Week and of the Easter Octave permit of no other observance or commemoration. Doubles of the first and second class occurring in these octaves are transferred. All other commemorations are not made in the year of the occurrence. The Octaves of Epiphany and Pentecost permit of no other observance or commemoration. No other day may be observed or commemorated on Ash Wednesday. Octaves are not observed if these fall in Advent or Lent, but only the Octave Day of the Patronal or Dedication Festival, and the feria is always commemorated. However, between December 16 and 23, and in Passion-tide, the Octave day is only commemorated. No other commemoration takes place on All Soul's Day, November 2, until after Mass of the Day. If November 2 is a Sunday in any year, All Soul's Day is not observed on the Sunday, but is transferred for that year, and observed on November 3. The Filipino Missal, SCB, 1961) Votive Masses Votive Mass is one not required by the Calendar, but celebrated for some special intention of the devotion of the Priest or People. A Solemn Votive Mass, with chant, if possible, may be celebrated for some special intention affecting the entire congregation, upon an occasion of civic or public importance, and by direction or permission by the Ordinary. Such Votives are allowed on any days except: Doubles of first class, Ash Wednesday, the days of the Holy Week, the vigils of Christmas and Pentecost, within the Octaves of Easter and Pentecost, on All Souls' Day, and upon the Feast of Purification. And it is to be noted that a Solemn Votive should not be celebrated as the only Mass for the Day. One Collect only is used at Solemn Votives, except for commemoration of Sundays, doubles of the first or second class and greater ferias. Gloria in Excelsis is said if the color of the Mass be Red or White. The Creed is said. The Preface is that proper to the Mass if such provision is made in the Proper. Ordinary Votive Masses are celebrated from the special devotion of the Priests, members of the Congregation who may request them, or groups of members, such as organizations and guilds, and are for intentions not affecting the Congregation as a whole,

13 and for those not of grave public concern.

It may be celebrated on any day of the year except: Christmas Corpus Christi Epiphany Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Easter St. Michael and All Angels Ascension St. Joseph Pentecost SS. Peter and Paul Trinity Sunday All Saints The last three days of the Holy Week The Burial Requiem should not be the only Mass in a Parish Church when Mass for the People is required to be celebrated, as on Holy Days of Obligation.

Ordinary requiems are not offered on Ember Days and other greater ferias, nor are they the only Mass on any festival of the Calendar. But note that in questions arising from the application of these rules, the Ordinary may dispense for weightier reason. Ordination In practice, Holy Orders are frequently conferred on Sundays and certain Feast days, but this practice is a departure from the strict rule, and these ordination are called extra tempora, thus there are tempora or fixed times for the canonical conferment of Holy Orders. These are the following: the Ember Saturdays of Pentecost, September and December, b) the ember Saturdays of Lent. The IFI Canons authorizes that Ordination shall be held only during Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation.

Mass of special intention, of the Days may be offered in connection with a marriage on those days upon which the Nuptial Mass is not allowed, but all cases of doubt, the matter should be referred by the Ordinary for his judgment.
