LECTIONARY FOR SUNDAYS: YEAR A

ADVENTAdvent has a twofold character : as a season to prepare forChristmas, when Christ’s first coming to us is remembered; and asa season when that remembrance directs the mind and heart toawait Christ’s coming at the end of time. Advent is thus a periodfor devout and joyful expectation.

The playing of the organ and other musical instruments, and thedecoration of the altar with flowers should be done in a moderatemanner, as is consonant with the character of the season, withoutanticipating the full joy of the Nativity of the Lord. The samemoderation should be observed in the celebration of marriage.

The fifty days of the sacred season of Easter conclude with PentecostSunday, when the Church recalls the gift of the Holy Spirit to theApostles, the beginnings of the Church, and the start of her missionto all tongues and peoples and nations.It is appropriate that the Vigil Mass of Pentecost be celebrated in theextended form, using the readings and prayers to be found in theliturgical books. This Mass, however, does not have a baptismalcharacter, as does the Easter Vigil, but instead is a celebration of moreintense prayer, after the example of the Apostles and disciples, whotogether with Mary, the Mother of Jesus, were one in perseveringprayer, as they awaited the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.

LECTIONARY FOR SUNDAYS: YEAR B

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

The playing of the organ and other musical instruments, and thedecoration of the altar with flowers should be done in a moderatemanner, as is consonant with the character of the season, withoutanticipating the full joy of the Nativity of the Lord. The samemoderation should be observed in the celebration of marriage.
