Seven patterns for Six Sundays

Six days of Creation.

Forty-two days.

All Saints, All Souls, and the feast of St. Martin of Tours are always in Pleroma. "A San Martino, castagne e vino, e ogni mosto diventa vino!"

P1	Xt King	Advent I	Christmas Day
9 Oct	20 Nov	27 Nov	Sunday
15 Oct	26 Nov	3 Dec	Monday
14 Oct	25 Nov	2 Dec	Tuesday
13 Oct	24 Nov	1 Dec	Wednesday
12 Oct	23 Nov	30 Nov	Thursday
11 Oct	22 Nov	29 Nov	Friday
10 Oct	21 Nov	28 Nov	Saturday

The date of the last Sunday of Ordinary Time (34th Sunday, Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe) is determined by the date for the first Sunday of Advent.

The date for the first Sunday of Advent is the day of the week on which Christmas falls.

Christmas can fall on any day of the week, so there are seven and only seven patterns for the Sundays of Advent and for the date of Christ the King.

Pleroma begins between October 9 and 15.

Christ the King falls between November 20 to 26. It never occurs in December.

Advent begins between November 28 and December 3.

There are 42 days in Pleroma. Six weeks with seven days per week. The season is always 42 days long because it begins on a Sunday and ends the day before Christ the King, which is always on a Sunday.

There are Seven Days of Christ the King between Pleroma and Advent. These are the last days of Ordinary Time.

The season of Pleroma is in the spirit of Septuagesima, Sexagesima, Quinquagesima, and Quadragesima Sundays.

It is not-so-ordinary time.

November 23: feast of Blessed Miguel Pro, SJ. ¡Viva Cristo Re!

Because the feast of Christ the King always falls between November 20 and 26, Pro's feast is always nearby: 20 21 22 23 24 25 26. Three times it comes a little after Christ the King, three times a little bit before, and once in a while the two feasts coincide on the 23rd.

Blessed Miguel Pro would be the patron saint of Pleroma, if he was a saint and if Pleroma had a patron saint. ¡Viva Cristo Re!
