Paschal Triduum 2020 Paschal Triduum ÈSÉ NÉ TÈKRÈMÁ "teeth and tongue " symbol of friendship and interdependence Radical Incarnation: Adinkra symbol from West Africa. The incarnation of God’s love in our world con- tinues every day and also continues through our kin’dom-building efforts, joining with the diverse Go Tell the World members of the Body of Christ. 1 2 3 SANKOFA "go back and take it" symbol of positive and active remembering Our elders say, “It is not forbidden to return and take what you forget.” Remembering the past, from where we come, helps to know the future, where we’re going; both the past and the future determine the present, where we stand and who we are, now. We gather to celebrate the memorial of our liberator, Jesus. We do as he commanded: “Do this in remembrance of me” (1 Corinthians 11.24-25). During the Paschal Triduum we do not reenact the events of the suffering and death of Jesus. Rather, we come together to engage in “holy remembering” in which we experience this drama as if we are part of it. And indeed, we are part of this always-unfolding Paschal mystery! Welcome, and enter in! 4 The Easter Triduum: Marking the days of Jesus’ Passion and Resurrection. Prepared by the days of Lent, Christians celebrate on these holiest of days the saving work God has accomplished in Christ. From the events remembered these days, so sorrowful and so joyful, the Church learns its deepest lessons. In rites and words, the mysteries of Jesus’ final hours are with us again, His last supper, His passion, His cruel suffering, His rising from the dead. And we discover the answer to the age old questions: Does God love us? Is God merciful? Does God care about us? We have only to look and learn from Jesus Christ. These are days for fixing our eyes on the holy mystery of His cross and filling our ears with the words of His gospel. Nowhere else does God’s love appear so vividly, in the love Christ showed for a sinful world, we find the beginning of our Church, the source of our sacraments, the key to understanding the human story, and our hope for eternal life. The Easter Triduum—Holy Thursday evening through Easter Sunday evening—is the “high point” or most important time of the Church Year. The Latin word triduum means “a three-day period.” We use the word to name collectively Friday (which in the Hebrew way of reckoning begins Thursday evening), Saturday and Sunday. St Augustine, the great fifth-century bishop of North Africa, speaks of the “triduum of Christ crucified, buried and risen.” Shortly after the time of Augustine, the Church at Rome began to celebrate a special commemoration of the Last Supper on the Thursday evening before Good Friday and this celebration was included in “The Three Days.” Now, as the Roman Calendar says, “The Easter Triduum begins with Mass on Holy Thursday evening, when Jesus sacramentally anticipated the gift He would make of Himself on the cross. His command to serve others is dramatically recalled this night in the ceremony of the washing of the feet, which he performed in the upper room for His disciples. Like the paschal lamb, killed and eaten by the people, according to the Old Testament account read from Exodus this evening, He is a sign of God’s salvation.” Symbols for the Easter Triduum Bread and the cup of wine recall the institution of the Eucharist by Our Lord at the Last Supper. The bowl and towel remind us of our call to service, of having the “smell of the sheep” on us, as invited by Pope Francis. The cross recalls the crucifixion and death of Jesus on Good Friday. The Paschal Candle and the water represent the light and new life of Christ’s resurrection and our Baptism. Preparing at Home in 2020 Holy Thursday have a bowl of warm water and a towel to wash feet at home. Good Friday have a cross or crucifix at hand for veneration of the cross. Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday a candle to light, a bell to ring and a bowl of water to bless. 5 Holy Thursday Thursday of the Lord’s Supper “Let us glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom is our salvation, life and resurrection, through whom we are saved and delivered.” (Galatians 6.14) Gathering Song: “Oh, How I Love Jesus” — Frederick Whitfield There is a name I love to hear, I love to sing its worth It sounds like music in my ear; the sweetest name on Earth Refrain: O, how I love Jesus; O, how I love Jesus. O, how I love Jesus, because He first loved me. It tells me of a Savior’s love, who died to set me free. It tells me of His precious blood, the sinners perfect plea. It tells of one whose loving heart, Can feel my deepest woe. Who in each sorrow hears a part, that none can bear below. GLORIA — M.

With grateful joy and holy fear God’s charity we learn; Let us with heart and mind and soul now love God in return. My life flows on in endless song above earth's lamentation. I hear the real though far-off hymn that hails a new creation. No storm can shake my inmost calm while to that rock I'm clinging. Forgive we now each other’s faults as we our faults confess; Since Christ is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing? And let us love each other well in Christian holiness.

    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. P Ave Verum W.A.

  • The Triduum Worship
    The Triduum Catholic Church of St. Stephen, Martyr April 9, 10, and 11, 2020 1 Welcome, The last three days of Holy Week are called the Sacred Triduum. These days bring to a climax and to a conclusion our preparation for Easter. Indeed, they are already a part of Easter, for there is an inseparable union between the death and resurrection of Christ - the two together constitute the Easter Mystery. In a very real sense, then, the Triduum is a three-day liturgy, celebrating the very core of our Christian belief. In the Middle Ages, Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday were holidays; buying and selling stopped so the people could take part in the religious celebrations without difficulty. Unfortunately, the present-day situation is such that most of us can participate in these solemnities only after a regular day’s work. You are invited to enter into these three most sacred days with an open heart. Leave the workday behind, relax and participate with the Church in the unfolding of the Paschal Mystery: reaching out in service, breaking bread, sharing wine with friends, embracing the cross, telling our story, welcoming new members, rejoicing in our oneness in the Body of Christ! Let us celebrate! 2 THURSDAY OF THE LORD’S SUPPER 3 Tonight is the closing of the season of Lent and the beginning of the great memorial - the celebration of the mystery of the death and resurrection of our Savior. Tonight, by no coincidence, we recall our roots in Jewish tradition. Tonight, shadowing our evening meal, is the specter of Good Friday.
