TRADCATKNIGHT: The Season of Septuagesima Is Upon Us Once Again
Dr. Thomas A. D
Today is Septuagesima Sunday and the Commemoration of Saint Peter Nolasco and the commemoration of the second feast of Saint Agnes, who appeared to her parents on this date one week after her martydom.
Septuagesima Sunday is ushered in as priests wearing purple vestments, thus signifying the beginning of the seventeen day period to help us to prepare for our annual Lenten journey of prayer, fasting, penance, sacrifice, mortification, and almsgiving. Easter is the preeminent feast, and the period that begins today is meant to focus our attention on what Our Blessed Lord and Saviour suffered to redeem us by the shedding of every single drop of His Most Precious Blood on the wood of the Holy Cross on Good Friday.
