\ufeffEach Tuesday for the next several weeks, Pray Tell blog will share insight <\/em>
by Diana Macalintal on preparing for Triduum. <\/em>
Each of these posts come from Liturgy.life<\/a> <\/em>
and originally appeared in GIA Quarterly: A Liturgical Music Journal<\/a>. <\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

As part of your preparation for Lent, Holy Week, and Easter, be sure to read or reread the \u201cCircular Letter Concerning the Preparation and Celebration of the Easter Feasts\u201d (Paschale Solemnitatis), issued by the Vatican Congregation for Divine Worship in 1988.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In that letter, the three days is called \u201cthe triduum of the crucified, buried, and risen\u201d (#38) and the \u201cEaster Triduum\u201d (#27). This is important because the celebration of Holy Thursday and Good Friday are already Easter celebrations! On any day of the Triduum, we do not pretend that Christ has not died or that Christ is not risen. The Triduum is not a historical drama or a \u201cleap back into time.\u201d Rather, we remember what Christ has done for us and still continues to do for us now, which leads us always to the future hope promised in the kingdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is especially important on Holy Thursday at the foot washing. Although it may be quite moving, do not perform the foot washing during the Gospel reading. Doing so makes it too much of a re-enactment instead of a ritual that signifies our participation in Christ\u2019s mission. Also do not assign 12 persons to be those whose feet are washed. Nowhere do the rubrics say to use exactly 12 people, as though they are the 12 apostles. In addition, historical costumes of any kind are not appropriate.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
