The Season of Lent ends

When the Sacred Oils arrive in Parish Churches, they should be welcomed with due honour. The old oils should be burned or (where appropriate) poured into the Blessed Sacrament Lamp. It is recommended that the Sacred Oils should be received before the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, or at another suitable moment. The faithful should, however, be instructed on the use of the Sacred Oils and their efficaciousness in Christian life.

The celebrations of the Sacred Triduum should be held only where they may be enacted with dignity and decorum. The faithful from a number of lesser parishes in the care of a single priest should, if possible, gather in the main church of an area to take part in the sacred rites. Where, however, two or more parishes are entrusted to the care of a single priest, each parish having a considerable congregation and the possibility of performing the celebrations with due dignity and solemnity, the parish priest has the faculty to repeat the celebrations of the Easter Triduum. By the celebration of the Easter Triduum: that is, of the Death, Burial and Resurrection of her Spouse, the Church means to make present and to fulfil the mystery of the Passover, the passing over of the Lord from this world to the Father.

In accordance with the tradition of the early Church, the sacred Fast should be celebrated on Good Friday of the Lord’s Passion and even, as suitable, extended to Holy Saturday, so that the joys of the Lord’s Resurrection may be arrived at with alert and open mind. (

Sacrosanctum Concilium

6 EVENING MASS OF THE LORD’S SUPPER (white)

1] The Church inaugurates the Sacred Triduum, recalling that last supper, when the Lord Jesus, on the night He was betrayed, loving those who were His own in the world right to the very end, offered His Body and Blood under the species of bread and wine to God and under these symbols, gave them to His Apostles that they might consume them, and ordered them and their successors in the priestly office to offer them. Especially in the homily, attention at this Mass should be focussed upon the mysteries commemorated in it – the institution of the Eucharist and of the Priestly Order, together with the Lord’s Commandment (mandatum, whence ‘Maundy’) of brotherly love

2] The Mass of the Lord’s Supper is celebrated in the evening, at a convenient hour, with the full participation of the whole local community. Priests and faithful, who have already celebrated Mass or received Holy Communion in the morning may also celebrate or receive at the Evening Mass

Before the Evening Mass begins the Tabernacle should be entirely emptied and any Hosts consumed. A sufficient amount of bread should be consecrated for the communion of clergy and laity today and tomorrow, and also for viaticum. A place for the Reservation of the Sacrament should be prepared and appropriately decorated (keeping in mind the austerity proper to the season). If the Tabernacle normally used is in a chapel distinct from the main body of the church, it may be used for the Reservation and Adoration.

4] During the Entrance Procession the priest or another minister may carry into the church the Holy Oils. At the altar the priest places the oils on a table or pedestal near the altar so that they are incensed with the altar itself. Then, after the greeting and before introducing the liturgy of the evening, the priest should say a few words about the blessing of the Oils and their significance. He then takes them to the place used for their reservation. The Mass then continues as usual, noting the following points a) During the Gloria the church bells are rung, subsequently falling silent until the Easter Vigil. b) The tradition of the Washing of the Feet after the homily is encouraged, as is an explanation of its meaning. The washing of feet is done for a select number of the faithful, showing forth the service and love of Christ, Who came not to be served but to serve. c) The Creed is omitted. d) During the procession of the Gifts, it is appropriate to bring to the altar alms collected during Lent for the poor. e) Pf of the Holy Eucharist I. Not EP IV. Where EP I is used, note Proper Communicantes and Hanc Igitur, and special form of the Words of Institution to be found in the Missal. f) Procession to place of Repose. The Sacrament is reserved in a closed Tabernacle, never exposed in a Monstrance. The faithful are encouraged to continue Adoration for a suitable period of time during the night, but there must be no solemn adoration after midnight. The procession and reposition should only take places in churches where it is intended to celebrate the Liturgy of the Lord’s Passion on Good Friday. g) After Mass the altar is stripped without ceremony, and crosses are removed from the Church or, if immovable, veiled. h) Office of Readings for Good Friday, with the Vigil may be celebrated during the time of Adoration. (cf GILH 71& 73)

VESPERS is omitted by those at the Evening Mass.

*Fr Donald Hillier 1980 (retd March 1977)

Friday GOOD FRIDAY – violet for LH, red for Passion Liturgy

7

The memoria of St John Baptiste de la Salle is not observed

1] Following ancient tradition the Church does not celebrate the Eucharist on this day. Holy Communion may be given to the faithful only during the Liturgy of the Passion of the Lord, but to the sick and housebound, who cannot take part in this celebration, at any time of the day.

2] The celebration of the Sacraments, with the exception of Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick, is forbidden on this day. Funeral liturgies, but not Mass, may be celebrated, though with no singing or ringing of bells.

3] It is desirable that MORNING PRAYER should be celebrated with the people. Where the Vigil has not been celebrated before midnight the Office of Readings is, if possible, to be celebrated publicly before Morning Prayer.

Solemn Liturgy Of The Passion Of The Lord

Unless pastoral reasons suggest otherwise, this should be celebrated at around 3.00pm. However, it may not take place before noon, nor after 9.00pm. From the start of the liturgy clergy wear red Mass vestments. The altar should be bare – no cloths, cross or candlesticks.

Narrative of the Passion – see notes for Palm Sunday.

From the uncovering of the Cross today until the start of the Easter Vigil, all genuflect to the Cross. At the end of the Liturgy the ministers genuflect to the Cross and all depart in silence.

It is fitting to prepare a place suitable for prayer and meditation – perhaps the place used for Reposition the previous evening – and that the Cross be placed there to be adored by the faithful. Of great significance are other devotional exercises that are of pastoral importance, such as the Stations of the Cross, processions of the Lord’s Passion, the commemoration of the Sorrows of Our Lady etc.

COLLECTION for the Holy Land Shrines.

VESPERS is omitted by those participating in this Liturgy.

After nightfall on Friday the VIGIL OFFICE of Holy Saturday may be celebrated.

Saturday HOLY SATURDAY (violet)

8

On Holy Saturday the Church waits at the Lord’s tomb, meditating upon His Passion, death and descent into hell, awaiting in prayer and fasting His Resurrection.

No Mass may be celebrated until the Easter Vigil. The Celebration of Matrimony and the other Sacraments, except for Reconciliation and Anointing of the Sick, is forbidden on this day. Holy Communion may only be given as Viaticum.

Liturgy Of The Hours

If the Vigil has not been celebrated on Friday night, the OFFICE OF READINGS is, if possible, to be celebrated publicly before MORNING PRAYER, with the people taking part. (GILH 210) If this is not possible, there should be a celebration of the Word of God, or some devotional exercise appropriate to today’s mystery, especially one that honours the Blessed Virgin Mary for her sharing in the Passion of her Son.

An image of Christ entombed may be set up in the church for the veneration of the faithful, or a portrayal of His descent into hell, or else an image of Our Lady of Sorrows.

Compline is omitted by those participating in the Easter Vigil

Season of Easter

During the Easter Season we are asked to pray for these intentions:

NEW MEMBERS OF THE CHURCH

PRIESTLY VOCATIONS

HUMAN WORK

Especially on 30 April

Especially on 1 May

Especially on 9 May RIGHT USE OF THE MEDIA

SURVIVORS OF SEXUAL ABUSE

Especially on 21 May THE CHURCH

Saturday HOLY SATURDAY – THE EASTER VIGIL

8

Especially on 28 May

The Vigil may not commence before nightfall, and must be completed by dawn. It should be celebrated in accordance with the 2010 edition of the Roman Missal, and where there is a celebration of Baptism, Confirmation or Reception into full Communion refer to RCIA pp.117‐144 & 238‐257

The fifty days from Easter Sunday of the Lord’s Resurrection until Pentecost Sunday are celebrated in joy and exultation as one single feast day, a ‘Great Sunday.’ It is on these days in particular that the Alleluia is sung.

EASTER VIGIL OF THE LORD’S RESURRECTION –Solemnity, with Octave (white)

1] By ancient tradition this night is dedicated to the Lord, and the Vigil celebrated during it, commemorating that holy night when the Lord rose from the dead, is regarded as the ‘Mother of all holy vigils.’ For in this night the Church awaits in vigil the Resurrection of the Lord, and celebrates it with the Sacraments of Christian Initiation. Our expectation o the Lord’s coming has always been an important part of our tradition, and this night we wait in hope and expectation.

2] The whole celebration of the Vigil should take place by night, in such a way that it does not begin before the onset of night, and concludes by first light on Sunday. It should not simply be celebrated at the usual time of the Sunday Vigil Mass.

3] The Easter Vigil may take place even in churches where the Triduum has not been celebrated. Wherever there is a fixed, baptismal font in a church it must, however, take place there.

4] The Vigil should be so arranged that after the brief lucernarium (the first part of the Vigil) the Church meditates on the marvels the Lord God has wrought for His people from the very beginning, and strengthens by His Word and His Promise (the Liturgy of the Word, the second part) until the moment when with the approaching Day of Resurrection, together with her new members reborn in baptism (third part) she is called to the table which the Lord spread out for His people by means of His Death and Resurrection (fourth part).

The whole Vigil proceeds by means of symbols and rites which call for a certain grandeur and dignity, in order that the faithful may grasp their meaning, prompted even by the words of the commentaries, invitations and prayers. It is fitting in particular that the faithful be introduced by means of a Brief introduction to the understanding of the typological meaning of the OT readings proclaimed during the Vigil.

5] So far as possible a large fire should be prepared outside the church, such that its flames may scatter the darkness and light up the night.

6] The Paschal Candle should be made of wax, of one piece, and should be renewed each year.

7] Where necessary the Exsultet may be sung even by a cantor who is not a deacon, though he does not ask the celebrant for a blessing, nor does he include the invitations and greetings, such as ‘The Lord be with you.’

8] At least three of the OT Readings are to be proclaimed (even in urgent circumstances, at least two). The Reading from the Book of Exodus is never omitted, nor its Psalm. Other Psalms may be omitted, if not sung.

9] At the proclamation of the Gospel incense may be used, but lights are not carried.

10] The Baptismal Liturgy of the Vigil is most complete where there are Baptisms to take place. Even if there are no Baptisms the baptismal water should be blessed in parish churches. Where there is neither Baptism nor blessing of the font, the Sacrament of Baptism should be recalled by the blessing of holy water, with which the faithful can be sprinkled, having renewed their baptismal promises.

The Liturgy begins ‘In the Name of the Father….’ Followed by the greeting. Bells are rung at the Gloria
