The Liturgical Calendar: Orienting Yourself to Life in the Kingdom

“In the early centuries of the Church, the discipline of observing the liturgical year was developed to teach God’s people how to locate themselves in proximity to Christ and his Kingdom. Each year, observing the liturgical calendar allows us to enter the beautiful narrative of God’s work in and through his people, Jesus’s earthly life, and the Holy Spirit’s past and current work through the Church. This annual excursion through God’s big story is designed to teach us how to make Christ the central figure in our own stories.” The Liturgical Calendar: Orienting Yourself to Life in the Kingdom by Danielle Hitchen

For Lucy Hutchinson, this meant applying her skills of reading, writing, and thinking to author an entire book. But for Hutchinson’s mother, Hutchinson’s daughter, and even Hutchinson herself, this didn’t mean becoming professional theologians. It simply meant fulfilling their God-given duty and entrusting the fruits of their work to him.” - Leaving a Legacy: Learning from Puritan Women of Faith by Jenny-Lyn de Klerk
