Key Takeaways:

• The natural seasons are laced with design patterns (like the cycle of death and resurrection) that remind us of God’s nature
  
• The cyclical fluctuation of seasons juxtapose the unchanging nature of God
  
• The liturgical calendar uses seasons to focus the Church on different theological truths
  
• To make the most of each season of life, we must let go of the reigns and trust that God is in control
