# Liturgical Year ## Catechism of the Catholic Church The celebration throughout the year of the mysteries of the Lord's birth, life, death, and Resurrection in such a way that the entire year becomes a "year of the Lord's grace." Thus the cycle of the liturgical year and the great feasts constitute the basic rhythm of the Christian's life of prayer, with its focal point at Easter ([[2.1.2.1.p39#^ccc-1168|1168]]).
