Sunday at the Heart of Time: The Liturgical Year Renewing Christ’s Work
TL;DR
Pope Leo XIV, speaking at St. Peter’s Basilica, presents the liturgical year as a living renewal of Christ’s saving work, with Sunday described as its foundation and kernel. He emphasizes active Eucharistic participation as the visible expression of communion with Christ and the Church, warns against a purely virtual worship, and traces the year’s development from Easter, Lent, and Pentecost to Christmas and Marian/martyr/saint feasts, asserting that the year guides salvation history and should inform pastoral action.
