100 Prayers for Celebrating the Liturgical Seasons
Fr. Leo Piguet
The first step in celebrating the major moments of our lives is to stop, pause to reflect, create a moment for prayer. And what is the liturgical year but another way to plug the cadence of our own lives into the greater reality of life and love that encompasses us through our religious tradition? When we look closely at the fabric of our lives, we discover something more. We realize the presence of God, the Holy Spirit, through the intimacy of relationships, through the wonder of creation around us, through the miracle of life itself.
