The Christian Church uses the yearly cycle of Masses and prayers, broken up into liturgical seasons, to celebrate the whole mystery of Christ, the Second Person of the Holy Trinity who magnanimously decided to share in our humanity to give us human beings the possibility of sharing in His divinity.

The celebration of his life and mission of redeeming mankind begins, of course, with the Incarnation--Christ’s becoming flesh in the womb of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Holy Mother Church wisely gives Christians the season of Advent to prepare for Christmas, when we commemorate Christ’s first coming to us.
