| The Christian week, like the Christian year, centres on the mystery of the **Resurrection**. Every **Sunday** is a commemoration of the Resurrection of Christ. The Resurrection of Christ, bringing the hope of resurrection to all humankind, is the "good news" of the Gospel. It refers not only to the future but also to the present life. Through **baptism**, a Christian begins to participate in the new life in Christ, and every **Qurbana** makes this mystery truly present. | The Christian week, like the Christian year, centres on the mystery of the **Resurrection**.

| * **Friday**: A commemoration of the **Cross**, recalling the mystery of the **Passion of Christ**, through which humanity was redeemed. It is also a reminder of the victory over death that was achieved on the Cross. | * **Friday**: A commemoration of the **Cross**, recalling the mystery of the **Passion of Christ**, through which humanity was redeemed.

| * **Saturday**: Dedicated to the **departed**, particularly departed **priests**, through whom the ministry of the Gospel continues. It is a time to reflect on the end of this earthly life and the **Second Coming of Christ**, which will bring about the **general resurrection**. Each day in the weekly cycle provides Christians with a spiritual focus, connecting them to key aspects of faith and the overarching mystery of salvation. | * **Saturday**: Dedicated to the **departed**, particularly departed **priests**, through whom the ministry of the Gospel continues.

| As the Christian week centres on **Sunday**, the day of the **Resurrection**, so the **Christian Year** centres on the mystery of **Easter**. In the early Church, there were only two great festivals: **Easter** and **Pentecost**. The entire period between these festivals was considered a sacred season in which the Church, in a sense, anticipated the **new life** of the world to come. | As the Christian week centres on **Sunday**, the day of the **Resurrection**, so the **Christian Year** centres on the mystery of **Easter**.

| From **Pentecost** onward, every Sunday commemorates the twofold mystery of the **Resurrection** and the **Gift of the Spirit**. These represent two aspects of the same mystery: the **new life of communion with God**, granted through the Resurrection. | From **Pentecost** onward, every Sunday commemorates the twofold mystery of the **Resurrection** and the **Gift of the Spirit**.
