The Sacred Paschal TRIDUUM

Christ the King Parish University City, Missouri

April 1-4, 2021 Triduum is three days. A day is counted according to the Hebrew tradition, from sunset to sunset: from the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper on Holy Thursday through and including Easter Evening.

During this one celebration, there are moments of proclamation, prayer, and ritual action that plunge us into a rich tapestry of human experience and divine mystery in the death and resurrection of Christ.

HOLY THURSDAY OF THE LORD’S SUPPER Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper

On this day Christians everywhere celebrate the gift of the Eucharist as our nourishment and our salvation. The Gospel makes clear what the other readings imply: we are to hand ourselves over to others. To help us live out this Gospel call, each year we wash feet and celebrate the Eucharist with renewed commitment to serve one another.

FRIDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD (Good Friday)

This solemn celebration of the Lord’s Passion carries on from where the Mass of the Lord’s Supper left off. It is a day of redemption, penance, and veneration. We begin in silence. Today we know triumphant destiny in the midst of profound heartbreak.. We claim the cross as the wood of salvation rather than as a source of anguish.

The offering received today is designated for the upkeep of Shrines in the Holy Land. Contributions may be left in the basket near the entrance of Church.

PLEASE STAND as the ministers enter.

ALL KNEEL as the ministers prostrate themselves in humility and prayer at this wondrous event in the Lord’s life and in the realization of its implications for us.

After nightfall, the ministers gather outside. The people receive an unlit candle and move to a seat in Church. A new fire is blessed and the priest prepares a new Paschal candle. He lights the candle from the new fire. The Paschal Candle is brought into the darkened church, and its flame is shared with those present.

T E P (E) remain standing

The Book and Paschal Candle are honored with incense. The Church joins in giving thanks and praise in this most ancient of hymns for everything that this night recalls: the fall of Adam and Eve, the deliverance from slavery in Egypt, the Passover of Christ, the wedding of heaven and earth, and our reconciliation.
