3 GREETING Fr. Jim Schwartz begins: Priest All Priest All In the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all. And with your spirit. 3
4 RECEPTION OF THE HOLY OILS Fr. Jim Schwartz continues: My friends, we are gathered together on this holy night to begin the Easter Triduum. United with the Church throughout the world, we commemorate the suffering, death, and resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ. We begin as he did: at the Passover table of the Last Supper. On Tuesday evening, united with the people of the Diocese of Rochester, Bishop Salvatore Matano consecrated the holy chrism and blessed the oils for use in the anointing of the sick and in the preparation of catechumens for Baptism. Tonight we receive these holy oils, which we will use in the celebration of the sacraments. By means of these powerful symbols, the crucified and risen Savior will continue in our midst the work he began at his death and resurrection: the work of forgiveness, healing and new life. All 3 Oil Bearers go to up the stairs to the altar platform here as the Music begins---the Cantor will lead the people in song. As each individual petition is intoned, the person holding that particular oil holds it high, one hand underneath the litany will be sung in this order: 1 This is the Oil of the Sick 2 This is the Oil of the Catechumens 3 This is the Sacred Chrism Once all three of the oils have been held up, as we are singing Thanks Be To God for the third and final time, the three oil bearers go down the stairs directly in front of them and go to front to meet Deacon Duncan, who will lead the three oil bearers back the middle aisle to the ambry. They will hand the oil vessels to him one at a time and he will place them into the ambry toppers for vessels should be on the shelves. They will walk back to their pews and Deacon will go to his chair, joining the clergy in the sanctuary. OIL BEARERS Leave sanctuary after the thanks be to God is sung following Sacred Chrism. 4
5 NO PENITENTIAL ACT *****When the music ends for the Presentation of the Oils, Bill Crandall begins tolling the bells(remote control), the bells continue throughout the Glory to God, until the Amen. GLORIA Glory to God, Mass of Light COLLECT (red binder) Directly after we say, Amen Bill Crandall turns off the bells.

6 WASHING OF THE FEET Fr. Jim Tonight we follow the command of Jesus to wash each other s feet. The first Eucharist was more than a simple meal it was a sign of sharing in the sacrifice that Jesus would offer. We invite all forward to experience this beautiful ritual. There are three stations; here in front and one to my right and one to my left. As we solemnly respond to the Lord s command, let us take time to reflect on the words and rituals we celebrate this night. Let us be people willing to bend down in humble service. Fr. Jim invites people to come forward for the washing of the feet ritual. As soon as he begins to invite the assembly, the Teams for Washing of the Feet go to their designated stations--see BELOW Worship Leadership Team should have some people ready to go first from the assembly. The foot washer s will do the ritual, when finished, wash each other's feet and leave the towels, bowls and pitchers where they are and members of the WLT will straighten up stations*. At the end of the ritual the teams at the chairs wash each other s feet, cueing the Musicians that the ritual has ended.

10 TRANSFER OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT Pange Lingua, English/Latin Invitation: Fr. Jim Schwartz invites the assembly to take part in the procession around the church and returning to their pews at some point. Some members of the choir will join the procession, as well. First Incensation: Mike Nesbitt and servers will have prepared incense and take thurible/incense up to the altar so that Fr. Jim Schwartz can incense the Blessed Sacrament in silence before going into the procession around the church. Fr. Jim Schwartz puts incense in the thurible and then genuflects incensing the Blessed Sacrament three times. Procession Begins led by Thurifers: Assisted by Mike Nesbitt, Mary Rose Lennox (E) and Grace Kurzweil (W) are standing at the head of the side aisles, ready to lead the double procession. (red bowls with sand/burning incense) Other servers following one of the processions --- and when priest and deacons get to tabernacle, they go back to their altar server chairs. The thurifers will walk at a slower pace than normal procession remembering that people are getting in and out of the pews behind them watch to make sure they are going at the same pace and be sure that the priests and deacon are not too far behind. Priest and Deacon move down the side stairs in opposite directions: From the altar, Fr. Jim (east wing) and Deacon (west wing) take a vessel with the Blessed Sacrament, turn and face their aisle, walk down the side stairs (not down the front of stairs) toward each altar server with the bowls of incense. Altar Servers lead. Path of the Procession: Fr. Jim s group goes to middle aisle East wing(music area), right to the side aisle---left turn to side aisle main right turn to main aisle---meeting up with Deacon Bill at font Deacon s group goes to the middle aisle West wing-tabernacle side, left to the side aisle---right to the side aisle main ---left turn to main aisle---meeting up with Fr. Jim at font, then both down the middle aisle. End of Procession go directly to Tabernacle: Once Fr. Jim and Deacon have arrived together at the foot of the altar they turn to the left and walk directly to their left, to the tabernacle and the incense bearers deposit bowls on grate and get the gold thurible and incense boat and stand ready near tabernacle. Tabernacle will be open (Kathy Best did this earlier) As Fr. Jim places the Blessed Sacrament into the tabernacle, the music stops. 10
11 Second Incensation: Incensing in Silence: Kathy Best takes 1 hot thurible to outside while Grace and Mary Rose go directly to the tabernacle area - stand along the wall with gold thurible and incense, ready to assist Fr. Jim Once the singing ends, Fr. Jim places incense into the thurible and kneeling, incenses the Blessed Sacrament in silence, so that we can hear the chain against the thurible. Singing begins for Tantum Ergo and Incense ---- Fr. Jim gives thurible back to altar servers they take thurible outside and incense to the stand, priest closes door of tabernacle, then kneels. Cue music here: Music begins--verses 9-10/Tantum Ergo. Priest and Deacon stay until both verses are over. Singing ends and Ministers go to the Front of Altar Steps The choir leading song at the tabernacle exits through the Blessed Sacrament Chapel and not past the tabernacle in the worship space. Priest and Deacon and all of the rest of the liturgical ministers altar servers, readers --- go to the front of the altar steps and kneel---- Altar is stripped.
