Excerpt from The Liturgical Year, Vol. 2: Paschal Time
WE give the name of Paschal Time to the period between Easter Sunday and the Saturday follow ing Whit Sunday. It is the most sacred portion of the Liturgical year, and the one towards which the whole Cycle converges. We shall easily understand how this is, if we re¿ect upon the greatness of the Easter Feast, which IS called the Feast of Feasts, and the Solemnity of solemnities, in the same manner, says St. Gregory,1 as the most sacred part of. The Temple was called-the Holy of holies and the Book of Sacred Scripture, wherein are described the es pousals between Christ and the Church, is called the Canticle of canticles. It is ou this day, that the mission of the Word Incarnate. Obtains the object, towards which it has hitherto been unceasingly tend ing - mankind is raised up from his fall, and regains what he had lost by Adam's sin.
