The Mass of the Lord s Supper (Holy Thursday) is rich in tradition and meaning. The beautiful and symbolic washing of the feet (Mandatum) takes place after the Homily.

4 TRIDUUM ARTICLE 4 THE SACRED PASCHAL TRIDUUM We should glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom is our salvation, life and resurrection, through whom we are saved and delivered (Cf. Gal. 6:14) The season of Lent ends on the evening of Holy Thursday, and the Church enters the Sacred Paschal Triduum. The Triduum is the summit, or greatest celebration of the Christian liturgical year. The word Triduum, from the Latin, meaning three days, is considered one continuous liturgy. It begins with the Mass of the Lord's Supper, which commemorates the institution of the Eucharist and the priesthood, along with Jesus' command for service to each other. On Friday of the Passion of the Lord, we recall the Passion and Death of Jesus. The Great Easter Vigil is the pinnacle of the year and is a glorious celebration of the Resurrection of Christ. In the liturgy of the Triduum we can, in a sense, go beyond time and enter the greatest mystery of our faith, with beautiful communal prayer, rites and symbols to help us express our Catholic identity. This Paschal Mystery we celebrate has roots in both Hebrew and Greek. The Hebrew pesah or passover, and the Greek musterion or mystery, secret, combine and comprise Christ's Passion, death, Resurrection, and Ascension and the descent of the Holy Spirit. God's plan of salvation for humanity is accomplished and revealed in Jesus Christ. Just as God delivered Israel from Egypt in the Jewish Passover; Christ 'passed over' to the Father bringing all humankind with him. During the Triduum we remember, celebrate and share in the Paschal Mystery at the liturgies. Each day a different aspect of our salvation is observed through our participation in ritual action and prayer. The Mass of the Lord's Supper contains several rituals during the Mass. The presentation of the newly blessed oils from the Chrism Mass takes place at the beginning of the Mass. The Holy Oils are used to administer the sacraments during the year: The Oil of the Sick for the Anointing of the Sick, the Oil of Catechumens for baptism of catechumens, and the Holy Chrism for Baptism, Confirmation and Holy Orders. As each oil is processed and presented, we respond, Blessed be God for ever. These are the oils that will strengthen, heal and seal us on our spiritual journey, with our brothers and sisters in the Mystical Body of Christ. The Gospel reading is taken from John, The Washing of the Disciples' Feet, (13: 1-15) in The Book of Glory. The ritual of twelve members of the parish community having their feet washed by the presider priest illustrates Jesus' command or mandatum, (from the Latin) to serve each other as He has served us. The cleansing water, a symbol of our baptism, is both physical and spiritual. We are all called to serve through our baptism into the faith and that call is reinforced when we receive Holy Communion. Because we eat the Holy Body and drink the Holy Blood of Christ, we become one with Him, giving thanks to the Father and loving all. The Liturgy of the Eucharist contains the Prayer after Communion which points to our hope in Christ, grant, almighty God, that, just as we are renewed by the Supper of your Son in this present age, so may we enjoy this banquet for all eternity. The Most Blessed Sacrament is then transferred to the place of repose for adoration by the concelebrating priests and then the faithful. This time of sacred silence is precious and we may meditate undisturbed in His abiding Presence. Adoration is usually closed before midnight with Evening Prayer. Good Friday is the only day of the year that Mass is not celebrated. The liturgy consists of the Liturgy of the Word, the Adoration of the Holy Cross and the Reception of Holy Communion. During this liturgy, the Passion and Death of Christ is recalled and red vestments and altar cloths represent that. We solemnly share in Christ's suffering for all humanity. We begin the liturgy kneeling while the priest prostrates before the altar.. After the Gospel reading of The Passion of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John, we pray for all during the Prayer of the Faithful with ten petitions: Holy Church, the Pope, All the Faithful, Cathechumens, Unity of Christians, the Jewish People, Those Who Do Not Believe in Christ, Those Who Do Not Believe in God, Those in Public Office and Those in Tribulation. It is during the Adoration of the Holy Cross that we may venerate the cross through varied gestures: a bow, genuflection, touch, kiss, or simple holding of the wood of the cross. While together, we can bring our private needs, prayers and petitions to Christ as well as our thanks for the sacrifice of our servant Jesus Christ. Together we pray to our Father and then proceed to Holy Communion. The Prayer over the People asks for God to descend upon your people, who have honored the Death of your Son in the hope of their (cont.)

5 TRIDUUM ARTICLE 5 resurrection: may pardon come, comfort be given, holy faith increase and everlasting redemption be made secure. After genuflection, we all leave in silence. Holy Saturday morning the Church remains silent; Jesus in the tomb, our souls in stillness wait. After nightfall, the Church jubilantly celebrates the Resurrection of the Lord. The Great Easter Vigil contains four parts: The Lucenarium, the Liturgy of the Word, the Baptismal Liturgy and the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Again, the symbols of fire, water, bread and wine represent our Catholic Christian beliefs in the Light of Christ, the waters of New Life and the Body and Blood of Eternal Life. The Lucenarium, from the Latin, lucerna for lamp, brings light in the darkness. The new fire is blessed, the Paschal Candle, symbol of Christ, the Alpha and the Omega, is prepared. The Candle is lit from the fire and is processed into the church as The Light of Christ, who gives light to all the faithful. Then the Exsultet, the Easter Proclamation, is chanted. We praise God our Father, proclaiming that this is the night when Christ broke the prison of death and rose victorious. The Liturgy of the Word recalls salvation history from the Jewish covenant, leading up to Christ, the New and Eternal Covenant. We begin with the Genesis accounts of Creation and of Abraham being put to the test. The Exodus reading follows, telling of the triumph of the Lord over the Egyptians, and then the prophet Isaiah invites all who are thirsty to come to the water! We jubilantly sing the Glory to God, and then St. Paul reminds us in Romans that we are buried with Christ in baptism so that, we too might live in newness of life. The Gospel (Lk. 24:1-12) proclaims Christ raised from the dead; the tomb is indeed empty! The liturgy proceeds with the Blessing of Water, Baptism of the elect and the Renewal of Baptismal Promises for all the faithful as they receive the Sprinkling with Baptismal Water. The Rite of Confirmation follows for the elect and for candidates completing the Sacraments of Initiation or those who are coming into full communion of the Catholic Church. We pray through our new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, that God, keep us by his grace in Christ Jesus, our Lord, for eternal life. The Liturgy of the Eucharist follows, with the preface that it is our duty and salvation at all times to acclaim you, O Lord, but on this night, above all to laud you yet more gloriously. We are indeed, celebrating the most sacred night of the Resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ, in the flesh. We sing the Lord's Prayer together with one heart and voice, exchange the Sign of Peace, ask the Lord to enter into our very being, and proceed to receive Holy Communion. The Mass concludes with the Solemn Blessing, as we pray, Now that the days of the Lord's Passion have drawn to a close, may you who celebrate the gladness of the Paschal Feast come with Christ's help, and exulting in spirit, to those feasts that are celebrated in eternal joy. The liturgies of the Sacred Paschal Triduum are opportunities for all of us to worship, pray, and define who we are in our ritual together. Through our participation we are healed, renewed, loved and saved. We can experience the great mystery of Christ's Resurrection and embrace oneness with Christ and one another, with great joy and true inner peace. May we be strengthened and fortified by these words from the Exsultet, May this flame be found still burning by the Morning Star: the one Morning Star who never sets, Christ your Son, who, coming back from death's domain, has shed his peaceful light on humanity and lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen. Dr. Claudia Maria Dado, M.A.L. (c) copyright

VINCENT DE PAUL The Gospel reading for Ash Wednesday concerns itself with what has become a traditional three-part Lenten exercise: prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Jesus instructs his followers to turn to God, to turn from self-interest and to deepen their relationship with the Lord in secret. He tells them in effect that a humble and quiet pattern of prayer, selfdenial and reaching out to others is transforming and leads to a favorable outcome. What is our plan to turn ever closer to God in this Lenten season? Are we prepared to treat this season as a time to deepen our own relationship with the One who redeemed us? It has been a tradition at Divine Infant Jesus Parish to donate food, paper and cleaning products, and personal products to our St. Vincent de Paul society to distribute to members of our community in need. Below are specified items to be donated during each week of Lent. These are merely suggestions and any food product, etc., is welcome at any time. Monetary donations are always appreciated as they are used to purchase gift cards and for emergencies. Our faith is reflected most strongly in our actions to help the most vulnerable, especially those who hunger. May God continue to bless your generous hearts. Note that we serve a Gluten Free Family so those products are appreciated as well.
