Year of Grace 2026 (laminated notebook) | Single Sheet | 11" x 17"

Description

Eight hundred years after his passing into eternal life, St. Francis remains one of the most beloved saints of all time. The artwork in this year’s calendar (2026) by artist Jen Norton depicts pivotal scenes from the life of St. Francis and seeks to foster a renewed appreciation for the ways he continues to inspire us today.

At the center of the calendar, Christ speaks to Francis at the church of San Damiano, calling him to rebuild the Church. The heart of Catholic and Franciscan spirituality is attentive listening to the voice of Christ and joyful pursuit of whatever he asks us to do. The corners of the calendar give us further glimpses of the unfolding work of grace in Francis’ life as he follows the Lord’s call. First, we see him forsake his father’s wealth to embrace a life of gospel poverty, which soon inspires others to join him. Next, we see Francis developing a deepening love for Christ in the poor as he embraces a leper and joins the beggars outside St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome. Filled with joy for having found the fullness of his heart’s desire in God alone, Francis preaches the good news to all creation—bearing in his words and in his own body the marks of his beloved Savior. Finally, we see images of the enduring legacy that this Poverello (“poor man”) of Assisi unleashed in the world by his response to Christ’s invitation, and in which we are invited to participate by our own yes to Christ.

The Year of Grace 2026 year follows the Sundays of Year A and the weekdays of Year II of the liturgical cycle, beginning November 30, 2025 (First Sunday of Advent) and ending Saturday, November 28, 2026.

LTP’s circular display of the liturgical year makes its key features easily understandable. We can see at a glance the liturgical seasons in their characteristic colors, Sundays on the outer rim, and the days and weeks radiating from the center.

“At our parish, the Year of Grace laminated poster is displayed in the vesting and working sacristies. Additional posters are also used in the following ministries: Adult Formation, Children’s Formation, and Youth and Young Adult Ministry. I have kept a gallery display of laminated posters from past years. As a minister of adult faith formation, I also give each member of the RCIA and Welcome Home programs, along with their sponsors, a paper poster for use in their catechetical sessions.”

“I absolutely love the Year of Grace calendar. The art is always beautiful, and we enjoy reading about the artist and their inspiration in the supplementary information on the back of the poster. Having the calendar displayed at home in our schoolroom also reinforces the work my children do in the Catechesis of the Good Shepherd atrium. Finally, it’s a one-stop resource for feast days, fast days, and liturgical seasons. Every year, I coordinate a bulk order of calendars for two homeschool groups in the Northern Virginia area.”
— Jeanette Murphy, Academy of St. Jerome Homeschool Teacher and Administrator, Herndon, VA
