Commemoration in the Catholic liturgy
Okay kiddo, let me tell you about commemoration in the Catholic Church. When we go to church and participate in the liturgy, we remember and celebrate some very special people and events that are important to our faith. We call this commemoration.
So, let’s say a saint’s feast day is coming up. We will celebrate this by having a special Mass on that day, and we will read stories of that saint’s life and teachings. This helps us remember the saint’s devotion to God and how they lived their life as an example for us to follow.
Commemoration can also include other important events in the Church’s history, like Christmas, Easter, or Pentecost. During these times, we may have special prayers or songs that help us remember and celebrate the significance of these events.
Overall, commemoration in the Catholic liturgy is a way for us to connect with our faith’s important people and events, and to give thanks and praise to God for all His blessings.
