ADVENT
INTRODUCTION
The Catholic Altar is the interior beauty of the church. It is the striking object you see when you
enter the church. What makes it so
unique is the different liturgical colours used at various seasons in the
liturgical calendar. In the liturgical calendar we have Advent, Lent, Easter,
Ordinary Time, and different Feasts. During
these events the Altar cloths and colours changes. The Priest's vestment is the same colour with the Altar's dressing during celebration of the Holy Mass.
This book on the Catholic Altar and Liturgy shows various designs and
colours. The whole idea is to enable us
appreciate this beauty attached to our religious services. We have books on prayers, sacramental, sacred
objects, etc. About this sacred place of
worship, we do not have any book on designs and pictures. The beauty of the
Altar and the joy derived in entering the Catholic Church, is admired, it draws
our attention to give reverence to the sacredness of God when we enter HIS
house or place of worship.
I sincerely pray
that readers will derive pleasure, and appreciate the beauty of the catholic
faith.
Father, I thank
you for the gift of your Son, Jesus Christ, our Lord and Saviour. Your sending him into the world reveals how
much you love us.
Father, I thank
you for loving us so much. As we begin this
Season of Advent bring us closer to you; help us, Lord, to appreciate your
love.
The impact of your
word gives knowledge to the simple. Help
me Lord to understand your word.
Prayer
Father, in the
Eucharistic sacrifice you unite us more fully with those who now live in your
kingdom. By our frequent sharing in the body and blood of your Son, bring us to
the company of the eternal banquet.
Feast of Saint Andrew, Apostle
30th November the Church celebrate the Feast St. Andrew from Bethsaida a disciple of John the Baptist before coming to the Lord.
Andrew drew the Lord's attention to the boy with the loaves and fish. He preached the Gospel, and suffered death on an X-shaped cross in Greece.
Praise be to you, Lord, for the banquet of Christ's body and blood given us through the apostles, which refreshes us and gives us life.
