Description
Throughout the 2027 liturgical year, meditate on the psalms and be drawn more deeply into communion with God, with our neighbor, and with the whole of creation. The beautiful artwork by Rebeca Luciani featured on the Year of Grace Liturgical Calendar 2027 illustrates the prayers that have shaped our understanding of who God is and what it means for us to be God’s people, and also gives us insight into how Jesus would have prayed as a faithful Jew.
Each corner of the 2027 calendar illustrates psalms that are prayed at Mass, uniting us to the liturgy that we will celebrate throughout the year. In the center of the calendar, we see the first words of Psalm 96 in Hebrew, proclaiming, “Sing to the Lord a new song.” With the crowned figure of David playing the harp, and the image of Jesus of Nazareth wearing the traditional garments of Jewish prayer, we see how these prayers that Jesus prayed not only connect us to the ongoing wisdom of the psalms, but also illustrate that Jesus is the messiah whom the prophets said would bring about a kingdom of perfect justice, perfect love, and perfect peace.
The Year of Grace Liturgical Calendar 2027 provides a circular display of the liturgical year that makes the year’s key features easily understandable. At a glance, we can identify the liturgical seasons in their characteristic colors with Sundays on the outer rim and the days and weeks radiating from the center. The calendar wheel begins with the First Sunday of Advent, November 29, 2026, and concludes with the last Saturday of the liturgical year, November 27, 2027.
