FRIDAY OF THE LORD’S PASSION (GOOD FRIDAY)
It is finished—and it has just begun...
We can look high and low but we will not find a Catholic Mass celebrated anywhere on this day. There is a Good Friday service, to be sure, but there is no Mass. However, we will gather in churches throughout the world to hear scripture tell of the trial, death, and burial of Jesus. We will pray for peace with the universal 10+ prayers of intercession for the world. We will walk in procession to venerate the cross or pray the Stations or Chaplet of Divine Mercy. And, on this second of the three sacred days this week that are known as the Triduum, we will receive the Eucharist, consecrated at the Mass of the Last Supper the night before. On this solemn day of prayer and remembrance, do one thing to open yourself to the love and compassion of Jesus. Let His love lead the way.

We wait, with Mary.
The great Christian festivals, especially Easter and Christmas, draw up and carry with them some of our deepest family memories. If we are going to remember and miss someone we have loved and lost, we likely will do it now.
For now, we wait with the women bearing spices and wishing they could at least anoint the one they miss.
Many of us will visit graves and memorials today.
Or you might take a quiet walk through the parish prayer garden to honor our fallen heroes or sit with the statue of Jesus, and the young mother, grieving child loss.
In the garden, at the center, Mary ‘Mother of Compassion, waits.
All those ‘beautiful gestures’, all that ‘love poured out in silence’ is somehow gathered together in these three days and sown deep in the ground of God’s love, ready for the day when he will make all things new again.
Even as we wait…

The grass never sleeps.
Or the roses.
Nor does the lily have a secret eye that shuts until morning.
Jesus said, wait with me. But the disciples slept.
The cricket has such splended fringe on its feet,
and it sings, have you noticed, with its whole body,
and heaven knows if it ever sleeps.
Jesus said, wait with me. And maybe the stars did, maybe
the wind wound itself into a silver tree, and didn’t move,
maybe
the lake far away, where once he walked as on a
blue pavement,
lay still and waited, wild awake.
Oh the dear bodies, slumped and eye-shut, that could not
keep that vigil, how they must have wept,
so utterly human, knowing this too
must be part of the story.
-Mary Oliver

The Triduum is one liturgy over three days beginning the evening of Holy Thursday with the Liturgy of the Lord’s Supper. It continues on Good Friday with the Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion and concludes at night on Holy Saturday.
The Sacred Triduum is our once a year celebration of the Eucharist in its entirety. Every Lord’s Day, we pray the Mass in an abbreviated form of an hour or less. The Eucharist is the heart of the Catholic Christian faith, called from ancient times either the Easter Sacrament (Latin) or the Paschal Mystery (Greek) by which we personally make our own the suffering, death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Holy Thursday gathers the Church around the same table for the Passover meal with Christ and his disciples, now the Eucharistic table of the Christian Faithful. There in the upper room, Jesus washes the feet of his disciples and calls us to servanthood, “What I have done, so you must do”.
On Good Friday we gather in silence to recollect Christ’s sacrifice on the cross. We venerate the Cross for it is the doorway to our salvation. And because Christ died, once, for all, we pray for the entire world to know the salvation of God. We share the bread of life, but there is no consecration on Good Friday, as it is a continuance of Thursday’s liturgy. We end in solemn silence to contemplate more deeply God’s ultimate gift for our sake and the sake of the whole world.
Holy Saturday completes our triduum celebration of the Mass with its emphasis on our living out the mission of discipleship that Christ gives us in “the Easter Sacraments”: baptism, confirmation and Eucharist.
The Holy Saturday liturgy begins in the darkness with the lighting of the new fire that will light our new Easter Candle for the coming year. The flame, like faith itself, passes from person to person throughout the community while the magnificent Easter proclamation is chanted.
Christ the Light of the world (part one) draws the faithful to the Word (part two) and the proclamation of salvation history. Then the Word, in turn, leads us to the living waters of baptism (part three.) Finally, our commitment in faith is fulfilled in Christ the Bread of life (part four.)
The ancients taught us that all of reality is contained in these same four elements: fire, air, water and earth. The Easter Vigil celebrates the Risen Lord Jesus Christ as fire (light), air (word), water (new birth) and earth (bread.)
Throughout Lent, the Church has been accompanying those preparing for the Easter Sacraments by our prayer, our self discipline and our giving for the sake of our brothers and sisters. With them now at the Easter Vigil we will share their joy.
The Easter Sunday schedule is the same as Sunday, but with concurrent/overflow masses in the Parish Center at 9 & 11. We welcome all people drawn to the joy of new life in Christ!

Compunction is not a sense of guilt that makes us discouraged or obsessed with our unworthiness, but a beneficial “piercing” that purifies and heals the heart. Once we recognize our sin, our hearts can be opened to the working of the Holy Spirit, the source of living water that wells up within us and brings tears to our eyes. Those who are willing to be
“unmasked” and let God’s gaze pierce their heart receive the gift of those tears, the holiest waters after those of baptism. This is my desire for you, dear
brother priests. Pope Francis, Chrism Mass

Holy Thursday Mass of the Lord’s Supper
7:30 pm
On this Maundy Thursday, in both the foot-washing and the first communion, all the elements of the old creation are taken up by Jesus and transformed in the making of the new. Jesus is both the fully human companion cleansing his friends with a gentle touch, sharing his last supper with them, showing the fullness of his love, and he also the Word, God in his full creative and shaping power, the One in and through whom everyone in that room, and every element of the world is sustained in the beauty and particularity of its being. What we witness in the birth of the sacraments is both a human drama and a divine act of new creation.
As we receive the familiar sacrament of this night, it may be, that if our eyes and ears are open we will sense Christ’s all-transforming presence even through the ordinary elements of the place where we are.
Blessed Holy Thursday to you all, dear body of Christ.
