The Season After Pentecost
Begins the day after Pentecost. Ends with midday prayer on the Saturday before the First Sunday in Advent:
The Sunday of this time of the Church Year are known as Sundays after Pentecost. Picking up on Pentecost as the season of growth, the Sundays after Pentecost are often referred to as the Green Sundays. It is during this season that the Readings focus on the teachings of the Lord for the church. We hear Jesus teaching His disciples and healing the faithful.
Because the Pentecost season is “ordinary” time, as the Roman Catholic Church identifies it, congregations may choose to observe some of the lesser festivals of the season. When saints’ days or commemorations fall on Sundays, worship leaders can highlight these to offer teaching moments about the breadth of the church’s life and work. These noteworthy days enable Christians to reflect on how we worship “with angels and archangels and with all the company of heaven”
