The Sacred Paschal Triduum is the 3-day period of Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday that ends the season of Lent and begins the season of Easter. The principal liturgies of these three days are, in essence, one continuous observance, in which the faithful participate in the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, hear the proclamation of the Passion, and experience the story of salvation through the old testament.

On Holy Thursday, there is no Holy Water in the fonts. At the Mass of the Lord’s Supper, the Holy Oils to be used in sacraments and sacramentals throughout the next year, which were blessed and consecrated at the Chrism Mass by the Bishop, are presented to the parish. After the singing of the Gloria, the church bells are silenced and the organ is not used. Following the Gospel, the washing of the feet takes place, followed by the sacrifice of the Mass.

After Holy Communion, the Blessed Sacrament is carried in procession to an altar of repose, where a period of adoration takes place.

On Good Friday, the church gathers for the Passion of the Lord. The altar is bare, the fonts are dry. The holy cross is venerated, and a somber tone permeates the liturgy. We pray for our church, its people, our Christian brethren, and those who do not believe.

On Saturday, the Paschal Vigil in the Holy Night begins with the blessing of fire after sundown. The paschal candle is lit, bringing the light of Christ into the church; there is only the light of candles. We hear readings from the Old Testament that tell the story of our salvation, followed by the singing of the Gloria, when the bells are rung, the organ is used again, and the church is lit again. Following the liturgy of the word, the water is made holy, blessed by the priest, with the immersion of the paschal candle into the font. We renew our baptismal promises, and those who are to be initiated into the church are welcomed.

Easter Sunday of the Resurrection follows. On this day we celebrate Christ’s triumph over sin and death, renew our baptismal promises, and go out into the world filled with Easter joy.

The 20th Annual Mass Celebrating Law Enforcement, also known as the Blue Mass, sponsored by the Diocese of Trenton for law enforcement personnel of all faiths who live or serve in Burlington, Mercer, Monmouth and Ocean Counties will be held on April 30, 10:30 a.m. in St. Mary of the Assumption Cathedral, Trenton.

The event is offered to build support, and show visible appreciation for the efforts of law enforcement in keeping the public safe, and to ask God to protect them in this critical work. The Mass also offers an opportunity for the law enforcement community to honor and pray for fallen officers and their families.

A luncheon donation of $20 per person is requested. Immediate families of law enforcement personnel are included at no cost. For further information, call Anna at 609-403-7199 or visit www.bluemass.org.

Quo vadis…

My Dear Parishioners: Today we celebrate Palm Sunday of the Lord’s Passion and Death. For most of us Holy Week unfolds like many other weeks; we still contend with work, school, preparing meals, doing laundry, cranky folks, the usual triumphs and set backs. These readings for Palm Sunday invite us to make this an extraordinary week—a week that concentrates in a few days the ultimate meaning of our whole lives. We must slow ourselves down and make choices so that this week doesn’t go by without our taking the time to enter into its meaning. We celebrate in the liturgies what we live every day—all the dying to self that characterizes truly faithful disciples of Jesus. We are invited to move beyond Simon Peter’s empty “Lord, I am prepared…to die with you” to making this dying the very heart of our living.

As the Season of Lent 2019 draws to a close, let us keep the momentum by continuing our personal prayer, encountering Christ in the rich sacramental life of the Church, and by supporting one another in preparing our community to welcome new members in our gathering for communal prayer. There is room enough for everyone to get involved and share in the responsibility for providing opportunities for each of us to encounter the sacred. Make your participation in these Sacred Rites a priority this week. Plan your baking, cooking, cleaning, shopping in advance so that you might join with us in prayer as we meditate on these central mysteries of our faith. The Chrism Mass will be celebrated at Saint Robert Bellarmine Parish, Monday, 15 April at 7:30 pm. During this Mass the priests of the diocese renew their commitment of service and His Excellency, the Most Reverend Bishop Blesses the Oils of Catechumens and the Sick; Consecrates the Sacred Chrism. All are welcome to come and be part of this ancient tradition of our Church. Preparation for the upcoming services have required our staff and volunteers to prepare countless worship aids to encourage our full, conscious and active

participation in the liturgy. Please, please assist us in keeping our church buildings in order by tidying up after the Masses: returning the kneelers to the upright position, collecting worship aids and returning them to the ushers, and whatever else might need to be done. I continue to notice the increased participation in our parish food collection for the poor and needy. You may bring these items at your convenience. The receptacle is located in the gathering area. Or, like myself, you may schedule your support of the poor and needy online as you wish…weekly, monthly, yearly. Our Holy Thursday Collection is completely directed for support of the poor and needy. This is the one time collection each year from our parishioners for charitable appeals. The difference between what is collected and what is needed is taken monthly from our Sunday Stewardship Offering. Thank you for your generous care of the poor and needy in our midst.

A quad-fold mailer has been sent to each of our registered households for your convenience and reference. Please put it in a conspicuous location within your household and refer to it. You have received a special envelope for the Solemnity of Easter. Please use that envelope to make your gift to our parish for this Solemnity. I suspect we may have a few visitors next weekend for our celebrations of Eucharist. Please be welcoming and hospitable to all of our guests. Encourage them to participate by your example. Lead them by your own decorum about proper dress and restraining from excessive talking during the Mass.

Plan to arrive at Mass EARLIER THAN USUAL in order to find a parking spot without unnecessary rushing around and interrupting those who have already gathered for prayer by arriving after the Mass has begun. All of these things help us to put our best forward. You are the Church. You are the greatest asset of our community. Continue to distinguish yourself as a community of prayer and service by your own example. Have a great week.

Let us remember one another in prayer. Happy Palm Sunday. Peace! Father Jeff
