With the Mass of the Lord’s Supper on the evening of Holy Thursday, the Church ends Lent, begins the Sacred Triduum and recalls the Last Supper in which the Lord Jesus gave his body and blood under the species of bread and wine. The liturgy commemorates the institution of the Eucharist and includes the Mandatum, or washing of the feet, which represents Jesus’s universal call to selfless giving. All are called to a life of service in imitation of Christ.

As directed for the special circumstances this year consecrated hosts will simply be placed in the Tabernacle. Everyone is invited to remain in prayerful silence following the liturgy, just as the disciples were invited to stay up with the Lord during his agony in the garden. After Holy Thursday, no Mass will be celebrated again in the Church until the Easter Vigil proclaims the Resurrection.

Thursday of the Lord’s Supper

God of day and God of darknessGod of day and God of darkness,Now we stand before the night;As the shadows stretch and deepen,Come and make our darkness bright.All creation still is groaningFor the dawning of your might,When the Sun of peace and justiceFills the earth with radiant light.

Still the nations curse the darkness,Still the rich oppress the poor;Still the earth is bruised and brokenBy the ones who still want more.Come and wake us from our sleeping,So our hearts cannot ignoreAll your people lost and broken,All your children at our door.

Show us Christ in one another,Make us servants strong and true;Give us all your love of justiceSo we do what you would do.

The Introductory Rite gatheringsong:godofdayandgodofdarkness

Let us call all people holy,Let us pledge our lives anew,Make us one with all the lowly,Let us all be one in you.

You shall be the path that guides us,You the light that in us burns;Shining deep within all people,Yours the love that we must learn,For our hearts shall wander restless‘Til they safe to you return;Finding you in one another,We shall all your face discern.

Praise to you in day and darkness,You our source and you our end;Praise to you who love and nurture usAs a father, mother, friend.Grant us all a peaceful resting,Let each mind and body mend,So we rise refreshed tomorrow,Hearts renewed to Kingdom tend.

The Good Friday liturgical service does not include a formal beginning or end. It does not begin with the traditional greeting at the beginning of Mass, nor does it end with a formal dismissal. It includes an ancient form of intercessional prayer for the world. It is part of the whole of the Triduum, beginning and ending in silence.

Taking place between sundown on Holy Saturday and sunrise on Easter Sunday, the Easter Vigil is the first celebration of the resurrection. Described by the Roman Missal as the “greatest and most noble of all solemnities,” the Easter Vigil calls upon every member of the church to gather with the soon-to-be-baptized and keep watch together. As St. Augustine says, “On this night above all other nights, the church keeps watch for the Lord, and the Lord keeps watch over the church.” The celebration begins in darkness and proceeds with the lighting of the Paschal candle, representing the light of Christ in our midst. We then read our Paschal scriptures, which articulate our story of salvation throughout history. The Easter Vigil encourages us all to reflect upon how Christ brings new light and life into each of our lives.
