Church Year Essays and Resources
Catholic Practices, Duties, and Common Lists Compiled by David Bennett
You have asked for it, so we have provided it: common Catholic lists and practices in one location. The Seven Deadly Sins, The Cardinal and Theological Virtues, The Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy, the Duties of a Catholic, and more. We are always saying, "now what is that 4th corporal work of mercy again?" or "I can't remember the last deadly sin." Now you know.
The Online Church Year and Liturgy Dictionary
This is a brand new dictionary of Church Year and Liturgical terms, including general liturgical terms necessary to understand our Church Year essays and information pages relating to all aspects of Christian holy days (including some "catholic" terminology foreign to many).
Tis (Not Quite) the Season...But There's Still Plenty to Celebrate David Morrison
Have you noticed lately that in the wider culture, Christmas seems to start at Halloween? Catholics know that Christmas does not begin until December 25th, so what is there for us to celebrate from Halloween until Christmas Day? David outlines some of the major feasts between Halloween and Christmas, and explains practices to help us celebrate them. Of course, he does not say early secular Christmas celebrations are bad, just that we have our own rich, largely unexplored, customs.
Advent Reflections: We're All Waiting for Something David Bennett
Advent is a time when the Church waits for Christ's second coming by celebrating the waiting for his first coming. This brief reflection examines the postmodern disdain for any kind of waiting, and how Advent is a perfect time to "wait" prayerfully with past saints.
