SACRED PASCHAL TRIDUUM

HOLY THURSDAY-EVENING MASS

OF THE LORD’S SUPPER

“We should glory in the Cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, in whom is our salvation, life

and resurrection, through whom we are saved and delivered.”

SACRED HEART

CATHOLIC COMMUNITY EAST GRAND FORKS, MINNESOTA

Starting this evening, the Church enters the Sacred Paschal Triduum. As the most sacred

time of the year, the Church recalls the Paschal Mystery, in which Jesus Christ, through his

Passion, Death, and Resurrection, redeems humanity from sin and brings everlasting life.

This Triduum (from the Latin for “three days”) is one liturgy celebrated over multiple days

with silence between the services to allow all the faithful to fully enter into this sacred and

saving mystery.

GLORIA

The Liturgy of the Word

FIRST READING Exodus 12:1-8,11-14

This day shall be a memorial feast

The LORD said to Moses and Aaron in the

land of Egypt, “This month shall stand at the

head of your calendar; you shall reckon it the

first month of the year. Tell the whole

community of Israel: On the tenth of this

month every one of your families must

procure for itself a lamb, one apiece for each

household. If a family is too small for a whole

lamb, it shall join the nearest household in

procuring one and shall share in the lamb in

proportion to the number of persons who

partake of it. The lamb must be a year-old

male and without blemish. You may take it

from either the sheep or the goats. You shall

keep it until the fourteenth day of this month,

and then, with the whole assembly of Israel

present, it shall be slaughtered during the

evening twilight. They shall take some of its

blood and apply it to the two doorposts and

the lintel of every house in which they

partake of the lamb. That same night they

shall eat its roasted flesh with unleavened

bread and bitter herbs.

“This is how you are to eat it: with your loins

girt, sandals on your feet and your staff in

hand, you shall eat like those who are in flight.

It is the Passover of the LORD. For on this

same night I will go through Egypt, striking

down every firstborn of the land, both man

and beast, and executing judgment on all the

gods of Egypt—I, the LORD! But the blood

will mark the houses where you are. Seeing

the blood, I will pass over you; thus, when I

strike the land of Egypt, no destructive blow

will come upon you.

“This day shall be a memorial feast for you,

which all your generations shall celebrate

with pilgrimage to the LORD, as a perpetual

institution.”

Lector: The word of the Lord.

Assembly: Thanks be to God.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 116:12-13, 15-16bc, 17-18

SECOND READING 1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Proclaim the death of the Lord until He comes

Brothers and sisters: I received from the Lord

what I also handed on to you, that the Lord

Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took

bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke

it and said, “This is my body that is for you.

Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same

way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This

cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this,

as often as you drink it, in remembrance of

me.” For as often as you eat this bread and

drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the

Lord until he comes.

Lector: The word of the Lord.

Assembly: Thanks be to God.

GOSPEL ACCLAMATION Psalm 116:12-13, 15-16bc, 17-18

GOSPEL John 13:1-15

As I have done, you should also do.

Deacon: The Lord be with you.

Assembly: And with your spirit.

Deacon: A reading from the holy Gospel according to Saint John.

Assembly: Glory to you, O Lord.

Before the feast of Passover, Jesus knew that

his hour had come to pass from this world to

the Father. He loved his own in the world and

he loved them to the end. The devil had

already induced Judas, son of Simon the

Iscariot, to hand him over. So, during supper,

fully aware that the Father had put everything

into his power and that he had come from

God and was returning to God, he rose from

supper and took off his outer garments. He

took a towel and tied it around his waist.

Then he poured water into a basin and began

to wash the disciples’ feet and dry them with

the towel around his waist. He came to

Simon Peter, who said to him, “Master, are

you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered

and said to him, “What I am doing, you do

not understand now, but you will understand

later.” Peter said to him, “You will never

wash my feet.” Jesus answered him, “Unless I

wash you, you will have no inheritance with

me.” Simon Peter said to him, “Master, then

not only my feet, but my hands and head as

well.” Jesus said to him, “Whoever has

bathed has no need except to have his feet

washed, for he is clean all over; so you are

clean, but not all.” For he knew who would

betray him; for this reason, he said, “Not all

of you are clean.”

So when he had washed their feet and put his

garments back on and reclined at table again,

he said to them, “Do you realize what I have

done for you? You call me ‘teacher’ and

‘master,’ and rightly so, for indeed I am. If I,

therefore, the master and teacher, have

washed your feet, you ought to wash one

another’s feet. I have given you a model to

follow, so that as I have done for you, you

should also do.”

Deacon: The Gospel of the Lord.

Assembly: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Transfer of the Most Blessed Sacrament Following the Prayer after Communion, the priest incenses the Blessed Sacrament, puts on
