When I teach about liturgical time, I sometimes use the image of an old-fashioned clock—the kind with an hour hand, minute hand, and second hand. Like an analog timepiece, liturgical time circles around at three speeds: the rhythms of the year, the week, and the day. [...] Although they move at different speeds, each hand of the clock travels the same circle. Similarly, the rhythms of the Christian year, week, and day are meant to draw us into a singular event: the dying and rising of Christ.
