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. Even in that specter is the gleaming triumph of Easter! The Resurrection cannot be hidden - this night or any other, for we are made free of sin and have been made one in the memorial, this light-filled meal of service. GATHERING RITE Gathering Song Priest: The Lord be with you. All: And with your spirit.

Communion Hymn HOLY EUCHARIST WILL REMAIN IN THE TABERNACLE UNTIL MIDNIGHT 5 FRIDAY OF THE PASSION OF THE LORD It is a picture stark and amazing - one seared into the collective memory of the community of believers. Though we can try to ignore what our sin does to us, we cannot grasp its consequence for our King. On the wind swirling around Calvary’s hill is the powerful gift of a new song of love sung by the Father.

Text and music: Spiritual; Old Plantation Hymns, Boston, 1899. Brought here together by Christ’s love, by love are we thus bound. Saturday: How Can I Keep from Singing? 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.
