Catholic Strength @ wordpress - Celebrating the Immaculate Conception and the General Resurrection of the Dead

In a little more than twelve hours it will be sunset in the first time zone, beginning the final complete Liturgical Year before the Glorious Manifestation of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ upon the fulfillment of the 2,300th day of Daniel 8:14, Holy Family Sunday, December 30, 2018 A.D.

That Sunday is also a Sunday proper after the Nativity of Jesus Christ, and a Sunday proper before the Theophany of Jesus Christ.

Due to its historical placement, it is also called the First Sunday of the General Resurrection of the Dead.

But the Church will indeed celebrate yet two more occurrences of the Feast of the Immaculate Conception until then, forming a beautiful gate of purity to remind us of the stainless heavens and earth to come.
