triduum catholic diatribes catholic diatribes unapologetic catholic commentary home about joe contact joe links to my music prayer corner or rectangle category archives triduum nov 13 of lent lenten practices holy week and the triduum posted on november 13 2008 by the diatribe guy standard originally posted on http digitaldiatribes wordpress com on april 9 2007 i feel guilty for not posting during the last week on the holiest week of the church year as i wrote that first sentence i recalled the old jokes about catholics and guilt ok so i don t feel really really guilty i just feel a little guilty but holy week has now passed us by and we have embarked upon the 50 days of celebrating the easter season woo hoo hey you non catholics can tease us catholics all you want about our 40 days of lent and giving things up and not eating meat on fridays but what you fail to realize is the unabashed partying that takes place after all that unabashed and partying probably need a more refined catholicized interpretation in this reading but still i didn t really post all that much on the lenten season i had hoped to get around to it but life often throws you in another direction for me that direction was my dad my kids my sudden interest on global warming and earth s cycles my cd project and so on but i would like to take a little time to reflect on the last 40 days leading up to and culminating in easter which is not as much about the easter bunny as some may think and probably more to do with the resurrection of christ than many wish we try to give things up as a family and as individual members of the family during the lenten season i try to be careful to be low key on those things so as to not be building myself up but that will not be a concern this year if i m being honest i don t think i made lent the season it was intended to be this year as much as i would should have i m human and while that is a reason it s not an excuse but still our whole family did manage to use the season to get a good confession in as i think everyone should we said more complete rosaries and or divine mercies as a family and we greatly curtailed our dining out all in all the season still looked a little different in reality it probably looked more like it should look many people in the world have it a lot worse every day than i have it on my worst day during lent that s for sure holy week was a little more trying this year because of the situation with dad he offered his own passion for the week with the passion of christ as best he could i think the triduum of holy thursday good friday and the easter vigil are always very enjoyable to me i know some people can t get past the amount of time these services last although the same people can sit and watch a stupid movie for two hours with no issues but i hope most people take away the lessons of those days holy thursday for any non catholics who may be interested is celebrated in the catholic church as a celebration of the institution of the eucharist at the last supper of course that s the summit of it but there are other interesting elements involved in that night normally the tabernacle in the front of the church houses our lord in his eucharistic presence and so we genuflect as a sign of reverence this becomes commonplace for us and we sometimes forget why why do what we do holy thursday reminds us because on that night the hosts are removed from the tabernacle and it is open thus no genuflection takes place just a simple bow to the sanctuary also during the mass there is a washing of the feet ceremony where the priest washes the feet of the parishioners i always welcome a good explanation of the sign of humility involved with that ritual in christ s time this was the ultimate lowering of oneself in complete servitude to another the other thing about holy thursday that is special is the stripping of religious symbols or covering them in the church all crosses crucifixes are covered the altar is stripped bare holy water is emptied etc this is because holy thursday marks the beginning of our lord s passion we will uncover all these things at the easter vigil in celebration of his resurrection the triduum is interesting in that the three days holy thursday good friday easter vigil are all considered to be one continuous and long mass holy thursday begins with the priestly blessing we have the liturgy of the word and the eucharist but there is no profession of faith and no final blessing on good friday there is no mass said it is in fact the one day of the year where it is not permitted instead we have a service where we read john s account of the passion and a veneration of the cross the veneration in a large church like ours takes a long time but it is a wonderful opportunity to symbolically take your burdens and place them at the cross we do have communion with eucharistic hosts consecrated at the holy thursday mass but no prayer of consecration is said and thus it is not a mass finally the easter vigil is the wonderful high point of the christian year in the catholic church the church starts out dark with only a single candle a large candle that will burn all year called the paschal candle lit from this candle symbolizing christ as the light of the world all persons in the church will receive a flame to light the candles they are holding when all is done the church lights up and the celebration of christ s resurrection begins the vigil is lengthy but very much worth it it is the night that many many catechumens fully enter membership into the church any people that have not received a christian baptism non catholic but christian baptisms of proper form are valid are baptized children are baptized people receive their first eucharist people are confirmed it s a wonderful celebration the readings the eucharist the litanies the candles the entrants into the church all point to christ and it is a fitting beginning to the easter season now in our family we used to attend the vigil before oh the fourth kid or so as the kids get a little older we will go back to that but for now we ve attended mass on easter sunday that s very nice too but not as large a celebration as the vigil the early vigils used to be the only easter celebration and would go all night now people complain if they go past a couple hours this year my two daughters and i joined in the music at the 10 30 mass so that was nice in a different way of course the easter tradition with the kids just wouldn t be complete though without a visit from the easter bunny that tricky bunny does have a knack for hiding the baskets of the older kids in the most difficult places share this email a link to a friend opens in new window email print opens in new window print share
