  • Palm Sunday Holy Thursday Good Friday Vigil Easter
    Palm Sunday Holy Thursday Good Friday Vigil Easter Triduum Tri Triduum Holy Week The Triduum– Holy Thursday Lent ends on the evening of Holy Thursday with the celebration of the liturgy called, Holy Thursday, Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper. On the morning of Holy Thursday the Chrism Mass is celebrated by the bishop of each diocese. For pas- toral reasons it may be celebrated on a day prior to Holy Thursday. In the Chrism Mass the bishop, concelebrating Mass with the priests in his diocese, blesses oils and consecrates the oil mixed with chrism. The blessing of the oils is an ancient tradition dating back to Hippolytus and the Apostolic Tradition of the third centu- ry. Two oils are blessed: oil of catechumens and oil of the infirmed; one oil is consecrated: Sacred Chrism. The Triduum– Holy Thursday The Easter Triduum is the “mother of all feasts”. All other feasts of the liturgical year hinge on this great feast. The Triduum, which means, “three days”, is the word designated for the celebration of the Lord’s paschal mystery that spans three days; it is one great liturgy that lasts three days. There is no formal closing to the Holy Thursday or Good Friday liturgies as each is a continuation of the pre- vious one until the liturgy culminates with the Easter Vigil. The Triduum begins with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, continues with the celebration of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday, culminates with the Easter Vigil on Holy Saturday, and ends on Easter Sunday at sundown.

  • Easter Vigil
    THE GREAT VIGIL OF EASTER LITURGICAL NOTES Because this liturgy is celebrated only once a year, and because it is unlike any other, it requires careful preparation. This will include not only the necessary liturgical items (fire, Paschal candle, candles, water, oil, etc.) but also of services sheets, music and so on. It is recommended that the service sheets for the people be as simple as possible. It might include music, hymnody and the like, when they occur within the liturgy, rather than moving from one book(let) to another. Ministers and servers should rehearse, as should readers and musicians, especially as lighting for the first half of the liturgy will be very different from normal. The book for the presider needs to be prepared well in advance, and it is advisable for it to contain only the liturgical texts needed for this particular celebration. The liturgical colour is white or gold. Order of the Vigil The Great Vigil consists of four parts: the Service of Light; the Ministry of the Word; the Ministry of Baptism, Confirmation, Reception and Renewal, together with renewal of Baptismal promises; and the celebration of the Easter Eucharist. Over the centuries these elements have been arranged in various ways. The order as provided here is the most common, although it is often used with the Ministry of the Word and the Service of Light reversed. To begin with the Ministry of the Word suggests that the readings from the Hebrew (Old) Testament are preparatory to the presence of Christ. To begin with the Service of light suggests that all we do is seen in the light of the presence of the risen Christ.

  • Rachmaninoff's Vespers (All-Night Vigil)”-- Robert Shaw Festival Singers (1990) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Joseph Swain (Guest Post)*
    “Rachmaninoff's Vespers (All-Night Vigil)”-- Robert Shaw Festival Singers (1990) Added to the National Registry: 2016 Essay by Joseph Swain (guest post)* Robert Shaw Sergei Rachmaninoff “In Robert Shaw I have at last found the maestro I have been looking for,” said Arturo Toscanini, and so nominated the most influential American choral conductor of the latter half of the 20th century. Shaw, who lived from April 30, 1916 to January 25, 1999, first made his mark by founding an interracial chorus called the Collegiate Chorale in 1941, which joined with Toscanini to perform Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony in 1948. That same year, he founded the Robert Shaw Chorale, chosen by the US State Department in 1964 for a good will tour of 15 countries. Best known in recent times is his leadership of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra from 1967 to 1988 and his founding of the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Chorus in 1970. Together, the two ensembles made Shaw’s most signal recordings of great works in the choral repertory. Upon his retirement in 1988, Shaw wished to continue to advance choral singing in America, and so founded the Robert Shaw Choral Institute. Although home was in Columbus, Ohio, the Institute sponsored a three-week summer festival in Quercy, France, for experienced American choral singers, teachers, and directors. The competition for admission was severe, not only because the Institute provided all expenses for participants, but because participation meant an intense choral tutorial with Robert Shaw. Great churches in southwestern France provided concert venues, and this recording of the Rachmaninoff “Vespers (All-Night Vigil)” is the fruit of the 1989 festival.

  • Pentecost Vigil Mass
    Pentecost Vigil Mass Note: Where a Scripture text is underlined in the body of this discussion, it is recommended that the reader look up and read that passage. Introduction On Pentecost we celebrate the birth of the Church founded by Jesus the Christ on Peter, the Rock. Pentecost means “50th day” and the celebration was one of the mandatory feast days of the Old Testament for which all Jewish males over the age of 12 were expected to journey to Jerusalem and the Temple. It was on this day, 50 days from the Last Supper, that the Holy Spirit came to the disciples in the Upper Room; having returned there after the Ascension and busying themselves in prayer (the first novena) and choosing the successor of Judas: Matthias. There are four readings to choose from for the first reading of this Mass, all are discussed here. 1st Reading (1) - Genesis 11:1-9 This reading takes place after the great flood. Noah’s sons have gone their separate ways to settle the world: Japheth, the Indo-Europeans; Ham, the Egyptians and Africans; and Shem, the Orientals and Jews. Shem was blessed by Noah in Genesis 9:26 as the firstborn son. It is from Shem that the Jews are descended; the Shemites (Semites). 11:1 The whole world spoke the same language, using the same words. 2 While men were migrating in the east, they came upon a valley in the land of Shinar and settled there. The people are Hamites. Genesis 10:10 tells us that the sons of Ham settled in Shinar.

  • Why the Pascha* Vigil?”
    “Why the Pascha* Vigil?” The Resurrection of our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ takes place outside the boundaries of earthly time. In this day in age, we are very accustomed to “our” schedule,” “our comforts,” and “the way things are done.” However, in Christ, or His Great Church of Orthodox Christianity, these things are not eternal realities. It is not possible, as the saying goes, “to have our cake and eat it too.” We cannot always be comfortable, in the earthly sense, and live a true life in God. In the eyes of the Great Church of Christ, the body and the soul are not separate from each other. Nor, in the age to come, will the body and soul be separate from one another. For example, this is why we do not believe in cremation. We believe that during the Second Coming of our Lord, God and Savior, Jesus Christ there will be a general resurrection when souls and bodies will be reunited. If the body is burnt and not to be found, what will the soul do? Also, for example, this is why we do believe in fasting. False spirituality says, “I don’t fast, but I still have God in my mind.” However, when the flesh/body is not comforted with foods and pleasures, the soul is in fact more alive towards God. The more we think about externals the less we think about internals. The less we think about externals the more we think about internals. God is within us. True spirituality is recognizing that we meet God in fasting of body and soul, just like we will meet Him in body and soul during the Second Second Coming.

  • Pentecost Sunday (At the Vigil Mass) EXTENDED FORM Lectionary for Mass , No
    Pentecost Sunday (at the Vigil Mass) EXTENDED FORM Lectionary for Mass , no. 62ABC _______________________________________________________________ The EXTENDED FORM for the Vigil Mass of Pentecost Sunday now has greater clarity in the Roman Missal that is not found in the Lectionary . On January 16, 1988, the Congregation for Divine Worship issued Paschale Solemnitatis , the Circular Letter Concerning the Preparation and Celebration of the Easter Feasts. For the Vigil of Pentecost, number 107 of that Letter encourages “the prolonged celebration of Mass in the form of a Vigil, whose character is not baptismal as in the Easter Vigil, but is one of urgent prayer, after the example of the apostles and disciples, who persevered together in prayer with Ma ry, the Mother of Jesus, as they awaited the Holy Spirit.” The Roman Missal, Third Edition provides the order, the rubrics, the additional psalms, and the prayers after the readings (in the style of the Easter Vigil). In lieu of each responsorial psalm, a period of sacred silence may be observed. See the USCCB Committee on Divine Worship Newsletter , Vol. XLV, April 2009, page 16 for additional details. It is found on pages 3-4 in this resource. Come, Holy Spirit, Steve Erspamer. The Mass and Its Parts – Navigating the Roman Missal The pastoral effectiveness of a celebration will be greatly increased if the texts of the readings, the prayers, and the liturgical chants correspond as aptly as possible to the needs, the preparation, and the culture of the participants.

  • All Saints and Souls Day Bulletin Insert
    What is the difference between All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day? All Saints’ Day is a solemn holy day of the Catholic Church celebrated annually on November 1 and is one of the six holy days of obligation celebrated in the United States. The day celebrates the saints of the Church, that is, all those who have attained heaven. In the west, a key step in the establishment of All Saints’ Day was in 609/610 AD, when Pope Boniface IV consecrated the Pantheon in Rome as a church and dedicated it to the Virgin Mary and all the Martyrs. After rejoicing on November 1 with those of her children who have entered the glory of heaven, the Church then prays for all those who have died and await the day when they will join the company of saints in heaven. This is All Souls’ Day which is celebrated on November 2 each year. The doctrine of the communion of saints tells us that the sacrifices and prayers of each Christian are able to help all, so the Church on earth joins the saints in heaven in praying for all those who have died, especially through the Mass. (The custom of praying for the deceased is actually found in the Old Testament [see 2 Maccabees 12:38-46].) Some ideas for celebrating at home Gather for Evening Prayer, using the Office of the Dead. Pray the novena for the dead in preparation for All Souls’ Day. Place your loved one’s name in the Book of the Dead at your parish to be remembered by your community.* Visit the cemetery.
