Maronite Liturgical Year - Part 2
In this second part of the lecture on the “Maronite Liturgical Year” by Chorbishop Seely Beggiani, given in 2019 at Our Lady of Lebanon Maronite Church in Washington, DC, he discusses the significance of the Maronite liturgical year and its relevance to Catholics. He explains that the liturgical year allows believers to deepen their understanding of their faith and celebrates the events that have been handed down to them.
Chorbishop Beggiani highlights three approaches in dealing with the liturgical year, discusses the meaning of the Resurrection and Pentecost, explores the significance of the Feast of the Holy Cross, and explains the symbolism behind the Eucharist.
He emphasizes the idea that through baptism, believers receive the fire and the Spirit, allowing divine light to shine within them. He encourages individuals to change the world by starting with their own families, neighborhoods, and workplaces, not through proselytizing, but by setting an example through their actions and values.
Throughout the podcast, Chorbishop Beggiani stresses the importance of understanding the deeper meaning of the liturgical year and its events, as well as applying these teachings to one's own life. By doing so, believers can enrich their faith and live out the principles and values inherent in the liturgical traditions of the Maronite Church.
