The liturgy of Holy Thursday moves us into the celebration of “Three Days” – The Easter Triduum, during which we make memory of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus. These three days are really one solemn liturgy. We pray that we have a fruitful and spiritual celebrations.
Today is Holy Thursday which marks the end of the Lenten season. With the evening Holy Thursday Liturgy, we begin the Sacred “Triduum” or the sacred three days of the Holy Week, which ends in the Easter Vigil, and concludes with Vespers on Easter Sunday Evening.
If you participate in the evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper you will notice there will no dismissal at the end. Neither is there a welcome or dismissal at the liturgy of Good Friday. The liturgy from Holy Thursday through the Easter Vigil is meant to be a continuous memorial and celebration of the climate moments in the life of Jesus and in the life of the Christian Community.
