" The Liturgical Year devotedly fostered and accomplished by the Church is not a cold and lifeless representation of the events of the past, or a simple and bare record of a former age. It is rather Christ Himself Who is ever living in His Church. Here He continues that journey of immense mercy which He lovingly began in His mortal life, going about doing good, with the design of bringing men to know His mysteries and in a way live by them."
- Pope Pius XII Mediator Dei
On my search for the perfect liturgical year printable for my second grade class, I came across this quote. I still have not found the perfect hands-on engaging liturgical year printable but this quote seemed to sum up the importance of teaching our students about the Catholic liturgical year. I think it is interesting that many Protestant churches have followed the Catholic tradition and follow our readings and calendar year. Why change something that is so perfect and in tune with Christ's teachings and message.
From the Catholic diocese where the sun never sets...I'm a lifelong Catholic with 17 years as a military spouse. Trying to grow Catholic faith one base at a time! Frequent deployments, separation from extended family and no older retiree volunteers are some of the many challenges we face being in the military and being active Catholics. I hope to share ideas to help inspire and motivate other Catholics in the military community.
