Holy Thursday – Good Friday – Easter These days are not separate and independent celebrations but are one celebration over a three-day period. We the Church are about to enter into the most important days of the Christian year. Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter are known as the “Triduum,” a Latin word meaning “three days.” Lent ends on Thursday afternoon and the Triduum begins with Thursday evening’s Mass of the Lord’s Supper. During these holiest of days, we remember and live again the central mystery of our faith: Christ Jesus “suffered death and was buried and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.” Holy Thursday, April 9th- Mass of the Lord’s Supper at 7pm (Live-streamed on our website) There is only one liturgy on Holy Thursday. This mass commemorates the last meal Jesus shared with his disciples, the institution of the Eucharist and the ritual demonstrating of a way of living (service to each other) which will define the Christian community. This Jesus does through the washing of the disciples’ feet. Music plays an important part in all celebrations and during the Holy Thursday Mass the Gloria (which has not been used during Lent) is sung with joy. Instruments are then muted through Good Friday and then joyfully resumed during the Easter Vigil. Good Friday, April 10th- Solemn Commemoration of the Lord’s Passion at 3:00pm. (Live-streamed on our website) From the earliest days in the Church, Good Friday has been the most solemn day in the entire Church year. It ritually relives the passion and death of Jesus. It is the only day of the year when no mass is celebrated. This stark and simple ritual begins in silence. In a profound gesture, the priests and deacons prostrate themselves in the sanctuary for a time of awestruck silence and then rise to pray. This gesture is meant to mirror death, burial and resurrection – the fullness of the paschal mystery. *Note - there will be no Stations of the Cross this evening. Holy Saturday-April 11th- Easter Vigil beginning at 8:00pm (Live-streamed on our website) During Easter Vigil mass, we hear some of the most powerful Scripture accounts: the stories of creation, Abraham, Moses; the crossing of the Red Sea, Psalms of promise and rejoicing, and finally the Gospel of the Resurrection. Easter Sunday-April 12th -The 10:00am Mass (Live-streamed on our website) .

Lent & Easter Season
LENT/EASTER SEASON February 22, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? At its root, Lent is a name for Spring, and is a 40-day period of preparation for Easter Sunday and one of the major liturgical seasons of the Catholic Church. A penitential season marked by prayer, fasting and abstinence, and almsgiving, Lent begins on Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. The color of Lent is purple; The six Sundays in Lent are not part of the Lenten fast, and thus we say there are 40 days of Lent – a biblical number – while there are really 46; The Stations of the Cross are a devotion imitating a pilgrimage with Jesus to commemorate 14 key events around the crucifixion; Because of the solemnity of Lent, the Gloria and Alleluia are not said or sung. March 1, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? During Lent the Church is called to embrace a spirit of repentance and metanoia (“a change of heart”) or conversion. There are many opportunities for prayer – communally or individually – such as: Daily Mass (communal) Stations of the Cross (communal and individual) The Rosary (communal and individual) Liturgy of the Hours (individual) Reconciliation (communal and individual) Adoration of the Eucharist in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel every Friday (individual) Free web Lent program offered by Dynamic Catholic—sign up at BestLentEver.com. March 8, 2015 WHAT’S THIS? The next four weeks of “What’s This” will be highlighting specific components that lead up through the Easter Vigil. Palm Sunday – March 29: The liturgical color of Palm Sunday is red. Red signifies Christ’s Passion; The Palm Sunday liturgy begins with an additional Gospel highlighting the jubilant entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem; The palms are ancient symbols of victory and hope, as well as new life; The Palm Sunday liturgy takes on a more somber tone with the second Gospel reading of Christ’s Passion; The blessed palms received this day should be discarded as other blessed articles.

Good Friday: Liturgy of the Lord’S Passion
Good Friday: Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion Good Friday: Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion Notes As the second part of the Triduum – the great three-day celebration of the institution of the Eucharist, the Passion, and the Resurrection – the Good Friday Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion is a continuation of the Maundy Thursday liturgy and hence begins in the silence with which that rite ended. By tradition, the altar is completely bare until covered by a clean cloth of white linen at the Holy Communion. Since at least the fifteenth century, Jesus’ Seven Last Words from the Cross, drawn from the gospel texts, have been central to preaching on this day, and for much of the twentieth century formed the basis of a three-hour devotion, from noon to 3 pm (the hours Jesus was on the cross), with addresses interspersed with hymns and periods of silence. This custom has proved of enduring value across the Christian denominations, but is difficult to incorporate into a liturgical Office such as that provided here. The customary fourteen Stations of the Cross is an extra- liturgical devotion, which may be observed in various ways, and at all times of the year; it is an appropriate form of devotion throughout Lent, and on Fridays through the year. The Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion This rite consists of three discrete parts. (i) The Liturgy of the Word should always be used, with either the Solemn Intercessions provided or other appropriate intercessory prayers which reflect the solemnity and significance of the day.

Happy Easter May Your Easter Be Happy, May Your Day Be Bright, May You Enjoy the Treats, and Sweets Delights
Happy Easter May your Easter be happy, May your day be bright, May you enjoy the treats, And sweets delights. But remember the meaning, Remember God’s gift, Remember the resurrection, May your soul uplift. Easter Message Easter morning bright and fair Tells me of God’s loving care. Flowers that were gone from view Now awakening, bloom anew. Though God’s face I do not see, I will trust His care for me. Jesus Lives Just because He loved us so Jesus died once long ago. But He rose on Easter Day, Now let all his children say: “Jesus lives! Jesus lives! Oh, I’m happy! Jesus lives!” Just because He loved us so Jesus died once long ago. But He rose on Easter Day, Now let all his children say: “Jesus lives! Jesus lives! Oh, I’m happy! Jesus lives!” Easter Day Christ the Lord is risen today! Angels rolled the stone away From the tomb wherein He Lay Little children, come and sing, “Glory, glory, to the King, Christ the Lord of everything!” He Lives I serve a risen Savior He’s in the world today. I know that He is living Whatever men may say. I see His hand of mercy; I hear His voice of cheer; And just the time I need Him He is always near. Jesus Rose on Easter Day Jesus rose on Easter day, The stone by his tomb was rolled away. He conquered death upon that day, And He lives again to show us the way. The Cross My small mind can’t comprehend, My simple heart can’t understand, My humble soul can’t take it in- The glory of the cross.

Palm Sunday/Holy Week at Home
Holy Week at Home Adaptations of the Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday Rituals for Family and Household Prayer These resources are prayerfully prepared by the editorial team at Liturgical Press. These prayers are not intended to replace the liturgies of Holy Week. Rather, they are a sincere effort to cultivate some of the rituals and spirit of Holy Week in our own homes when public celebration might not be possible. LITURGICAL PRESS Collegeville, Minnesota www.litpress.org Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion Introduction Palm Sunday celebrates two seemingly different stories. We begin the liturgy by commemorating Jesus’s triumphant journey to Jerusalem where he is greeted by shouts and songs of acclamation and joy. Everything seems to be going well. Jesus is hailed as a King and people wave palm branches to show their honor for him. By the time we reach the Gospel, however, we hear the Passion of Jesus Christ, recalling the events leading up to his crucifixion and death on the cross. It may seem strange that these two extremes are celebrated on Palm Sunday, but that is the reality of the Paschal Mystery. There is only one story. Jesus’s life, death and resurrection are all connected; It is impossible to separate them as isolated events. The same is true for our lives. Everything we do is united with Christ, the good times and the difficult ones. Even when God seems distant and far away, we know that we are always connected to the story of Jesus’s life, death and resurrection.

CATECHETICAL RESOURCES IX. APPENDIX I. WHY ST. JOSEPH? WHY NOW? On December 8, 1870, The Sacred Congregation of Rites promulgated the following decree, which communicated the decision of Pope Pius IX to declare St. Joseph Patron of the Universal Church, and which also raised St. Joseph’s feast of March 19 to the rank of double of the first class. Quemadmodum Deus Pope Pius IX As almighty God appointed Joseph, son of the patriarch Jacob, over all the land of Egypt to save grain for the people, so when the fullness of time had come and he was about to send to earth his only- begotten Son, the Savior of the world, he chose another Joseph, of whom the first had been the type, and he made him the lord and chief of his household and possessions, the guardian of his choicest treasures. Indeed, he had as his spouse the Immaculate Virgin Mary, of whom was born by the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ our Lord, who deigned to be reputed in the sight of men as the son of Joseph, and was subject to him. Him whom countless kings and prophets had desired to see, Joseph not only saw but conversed with, and embraced in paternal affection, and kissed.
