Product Description

There are two overlapping cycles in the Catholic Liturgical year and what we celebrate on any particular day depends on the ranking of the day from each cycle.

The Proper of Saints, called the Sanctoral Cycle, is the annual cycle of feasts not necessarily connected with the seasons. We commemorate and ask the intercession of those holy men and women who set a marvelous example that we should all strive to imitate. We also commemorate various events and mysteries of the faith in the Sanctoral Cycle (e.g., our Lord’s Transfiguration, the Blessed Virgin Mary’s Assumption, etc). The sanctoral cycle is often connected with a particular date (e.g., the feast of Saints Peter and Paul is always on June 29th).

There is also the Proper of Seasons, called the Temporal Cycle, which traces the earthly life of Our Lord Jesus Christ. It consists mainly of Sundays related to the various liturgical seasons. There are seven liturgical seasons contained in two cycles: the Christmas Cycle and the Easter Cycle. It starts with Advent then goes through Christmas, Epiphany, Septuagesima, Lent, Easter, and Time after Pentecost. Septuagesima begins the Easter Cycle, which continues until Advent again begins the Christmas Cycle. For that reason, when you go to Mass on Sundays you likely will not hear the readings for the saints but rather hear the propers taken from the temporal cycle.
