-On Epiphany, there is an ancient custom of announcing the dates of movable feasts for the coming year. This proclamation has been used in connection with the blessing and distribution of calendars. (courtesy of the Paulist Ordo)
-The Epiphany Proclamation is taken from the Sacramentary.
My Brothers and Sisters! The Glory of the Lord Jesus has been made manifest and will continue to be revealed in our midst until he comes again.
In the rhythms and alternations of time, let us recall and live the mysteries of our salvation.
Central to our entire liturgical year is our celebration of the TRIDUUM OF THE LORD, crucified, buried and risen, which culminates on EASTER SUNDAY, the fifteenth day of April.
Every SUNDAY when we recall this Paschal Mystery, holy Church makes present this great event in which Christ has conquered sin and death.
From Easter derive all other celebrations:
ASH WEDNESDAY, the beginning of the season of Lent, the Twenty-eighth day of February; the ASCENTION OF THE LORD, the Twenty-seventh day of May; PENTECOST, the Third day of June; and the First Sunday of Advent, the Second day of December.
Likewise, the feasts of the Holy Mother of God, of the Apostles and Saints, and in the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, the Church, in its pilgrimage here on earth, proclaims the Paschal Mystery of the Lord.
To CHRIST, who is, who was, and who is to come, the LORD of all time and history, be endless praise now and forever! AMEN! ALLELUIA!
