HOLY WEEK - The TRIDUUM:
The TRIDUUM
Holy Thursday – 18th April 2019
Evening Mass of the Lord’s Supper - 07:30 p.m.
Themes: Today we celebrate Christ’s twofold giving of himself, (1), to his enemies, to die on the cross for the life of the world. He is the paschal victim, whose blood saves his people. (2), to his friends, and disciples, his Church – that is, to us – in the sacrament of his body and blood. If we want to belong to Christ, we must follow his example of self-giving and of service – ‘washing one another’s feet’. We must be willing and ready to say with Christ, about our own selves : ‘This is my body which is given up for you’. The whole purpose of today’s liturgy is to enable us to make this self-giving the real motivation for our lives.
