Holy Week & the Sacred Triduum

Step by step, we now enter the holiest part of Lent and draw close to the great Paschal Mystery of Our Lord's death, burial, and resurrection. With Palm Sunday, the second in Passiontide, we begin Holy Week and approach the Triduum Sacrum, the last three days before Easter Sunday. The sea-son of Lent ends on the evening of Maundy Thursday with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper. Thus commemorating the institution of the Eucharist, we commence the Easter fast, keeping vigil with Jesus at the Altar of Repose. Then we enter the solemn drama of Our Lord’s Passion on Good Fri-day with the Adoration of the Cross. We mourn in quiet and darkness until the new fire is kindled with Christ’s triumph over death at the Great Vigil of Easter on the evening of Holy Saturday. Fast-ing turns to feasting, sorrow to joy, and shadows to dazzling light on this “solemnity of solemni-ties,” this “mother of all holy vigils,” as the Liturgy of Easter Even was called in the early Church.

The ceremonies of the Sacred Triduum exemplify the power of liturgical drama, and in the ritual re-presentation of the mystery of faith the Church enacts her twofold identity as the Bride of Christ and as the Body of Christ: she at once mourns for her Bridegroom, the Man of Sorrows, even as she becomes one with His suffering Corpus to rise with Him to glory. The last three days of Holy Week dramatize for us a great transformative pageant in which the audience becomes the actors, presenting the arc of an action that can be considered from a threefold perspective.

First, the Triduum brings to a climax and a conclusion our preparation for Easter. Our penance, fast-ing, and ascetic discipline throughout Lent have served as so much spiritual training to ready our souls to imitate Christ in emptying ourselves that we might be filled with the Father’s mercy. Sec-ondly, though, in another sense, these three days are already part of Easter itself, and not simply a prelude. The Triduum finds its unity in the paradoxical co-inherence of Christ’s death and resurrec-tion--the two go together and sum up the Paschal mystery--and hence it is fitting that the Triduum only begins once Lent is over. If the Triduum thus simultaneously looks back to Lent and forward to Easter, in a third sense, these days can be regarded as complete in themselves and constituting a single trilogy or a three-act drama, staging for us and in us the unified action of Christ’s redemptive love. Dr. Clint Brand

MY RULE FOR LENT Confidential

THE RULE OF FASTING

Ash Wednesday and Good Friday are obligatory days of universal fast and abstinence. Fasting is obligatory for all who have completed their 18th year and have not yet reached their 60th year. Fasting allows a person to eat one full meal. Two smaller meals may be taken, not to equal one full meal. Abstinence (from meat) is obligatory for all who have reached their 14th year.

Fridays in Lent are obligatory days of complete abstinence (from meat) for all who have completed their 14th year.

"Denying material food, which nourishes our body, nurtures an interior disposition to listen to Christ and be fed by His saving word. Through fasting and praying, we allow Him to come and satisfy the deepest hunger that we experience in the depths of our being: the hunger and thirst for God." -- Pope Benedict XVI, Message for Lent 2009.

THREE PILLARS OF LENTEN OBSERVANCE

The three traditional pillars of Lenten observance are prayer, fasting and almsgiving. The Church asks us to surrender ourselves to prayer and to the reading of Scripture, to fasting and to giving alms. The fasting that all observe together on Fridays is but a sign of the daily Lenten disci-pline of individuals and households: fasting for certain periods of time, fasting from certain foods, but also fasting from other things and activities. Likewise, the giving of alms is an effort to share this world equally—not only through the distribution of money, but through the sharing of our time and talents.

MY RULE OF ABSTINENCE FOR WEDNESDAY (optional) _____I will not eat meat on Wednesdays in Lent. _____I will not eat meat at one meal each day. _____I will eat meat at only one meal each day.

MY RULE OF SACRIFICE _____I will give up these specific foods or drinks______________________________________________________ _____I will give up these specific expensive habits & carefully save the money for my Easter offering or other special offering_______________________________________________________________________________
