Living the Liturgical Calendar

ASCENSION
About this episode

Most people live by a calendar, but what about the liturgical calendar? The Catholic Church celebrates and remembers many important people, events and seasons throughout the year. Jeff Cavins explains what some of these important days and seasons are and how we can live our lives according to the liturgical calendar.

Snippet from the Show
By following God’s calendar, we will not waste time and energy. Rather, we will be focused on his will rather than our own.
