  • Holy Saturday
    holy saturday Holy Saturday is a day of patient waiting when we, as Church, prayerfully reflect on the passion and death of Christ and await his resurrection. It is a day of fast as we ready ourselves for the feast of Easter. The Easter Vigil in the Holy Night The Easter Vigil is rich in symbol and ritual action. While we will not experience it in quite the same way this year, it typically unfolds as follows, in four parts. The celebration begins around the light of the Easter fire. The fire is blessed, the Easter Candle is lit and this light is shared before we sing our great proclamation of Easter, the Exsultet. In the second part of the night we vigil with the stories of our salvation, the great stories from the Old Testament proclaimed in the light of our Easter faith and culminating in the proclamation of the resurrection in the Gospel reading. Now in the third part we are ready to do what our whole Lenten journey has been about – to welcome new members in baptism and to renew our own baptism before we complete our celebration of the vigil with the Liturgy of the Eucharist in which we receive the nourishment and grace of the Body of Christ to sustain us in the Christian journey. On this greatest of nights in the life of the Church we keep vigil with the Lord. Although this year’s Vigil cannot be celebrated in all its richness, in the darkness of these days we can dare to rejoice.

  • 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.

  • The Rites of Holy Week
    THE RITES OF HOLY WEEK • CEREMONIES • PREPARATIONS • MUSIC • COMMENTARY By FREDERICK R. McMANUS Priest of the Archdiocese of Boston 1956 SAINT ANTHONY GUILD PRESS PATERSON, NEW JERSEY Copyright, 1956, by Frederick R. McManus Nihil obstat ALFRED R. JULIEN, J.C. D. Censor Lib1·or111n Imprimatur t RICHARD J. CUSHING A1·chbishop of Boston Boston, February 16, 1956 PRINTED IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA INTRODUCTION ANCTITY is the purpose of the "new Holy Week." The news S accounts have been concerned with the radical changes, the upset of traditional practices, and the technical details of the re­ stored Holy Week services, but the real issue in the reform is the development of true holiness in the members of Christ's Church. This is the expectation of Pope Pius XII, as expressed personally by him. It is insisted upon repeatedly in the official language of the new laws - the goal is simple: that the faithful may take part in the most sacred week of the year "more easily, more devoutly, and more fruitfully." Certainly the changes now commanded ,by the Apostolic See are extraordinary, particularly since they come after nearly four centuries of little liturgical development. This is especially true of the different times set for the principal services. On Holy Thursday the solemn evening Mass now becomes a clearer and more evident memorial of the Last Supper of the Lord on the night before He suffered. On Good Friday, when Holy Mass is not offered, the liturgical service is placed at three o'clock in the afternoon, or later, since three o'clock is the "ninth hour" of the Gospel accounts of our Lord's Crucifixion.

  • The Easter Vigil and Mass of Our Lord's Resurrection
    EASTER SUNDAY THE EASTER VIGIL AND MASS OF OUR LORD'S RESURRECTION The Easter Vigil and Mass (usually) celebrates the Outpouring of God’s mercy in four movements: 1. A Festival of Light; 2. A festival of Story; 3. A festival of Water, with Baptism, Confirmation of Adults, and the general renewal of our Baptismal Promises; 4. A festival of Thanks (‘Eucharist’), "when the whole Church is called to the table the Lord has prepared for his people through his death and resurrection." (Roman Missal) As we keep vigil for the new dawn, we tell the stories of God and His People, our story, in the new light of Christ, the visible sign of the merciful Father. We remember the wonderful story of God gradually instructing and forming a People for himself, through his constant mercy and renewal of the Covenants, as we have heard in the Scriptures this Lent. We celebrate Christ’s PassOver, and the out-pouring of love and mercy from his pierced side, into which we are plunged and baptised, in which we have Communion. In this vigil we read our own history and our present life by the light of the Risen Christ. We respond to each 'word of love' in song, followed by a prayer for which we stand. 11. Part One SOLEMN BEGINNING OF THE VIGIL THE FESTIVAL OF LIGHT >without the usual gathering outside the darkened church around a fire, and the preparation, lighting, and procession, the Paschal Candle is lit, and welcomed: Priest: The Light of Christ! All: Thanks be to God! >The Cantor chants the Hymn of Praise of the Paschal Candle, the 'Exultet' Part Two THE FESTIVAL OF STORY > Reading: Genesis 22: 1 – 18.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • An Introduction to the Liturgies of Holy Week
    An Introduction to the The Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday Liturgies of Holy Week The day’s full name indicates its dual focus. The reading of the Passion Narrative (the story of Jesus’ arrest, trial, and crucifixion) is preceded by the commemoration of Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem. The Liturgy of the Palms is the entrance rite but the Passion Gospel is the central focus. The euphoria and triumph of Jesus’ entry is short-lived and the tone of the day changes dramatically. We, who moments earlier, shouted “Hosanna” now cry “Crucify him! Crucify him!” The stage is set for the rest of the week. At St. John’s, the service begins outside The Episcopal Parish of St. John the Evangelist (weather permitting). Palms are blessed and distributed and we all process into the Hingham, Massachusetts church singing the traditional Palm The heart of the Christian faith is the life, death, and resurrection of Sunday hymn “All Glory, Laud and Jesus Christ.
