My mentor Cardinal Francis George remarked that the Christian faith can be lost in a single generation, if Christians aren’t vigilant.

However, it won’t be Christianity that will perish, but Western Civilization.

You cannot separate a tree from its roots and have the tree survive.

As we commemorate the day on which Our Blessed Saviour instituted the Sacred Priesthood, let us all take a moment to thank our priests and pray for them. May they always be faithful to Christ, and thereby leading us all to Him, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life.

[Father V @father_rmv]

During the evening of Holy Thursday, the Mass of the Lord's Supper is celebrated. It is celebrated in the evening because the Passover began at sundown. There is only one Mass, at which the whole community and priests of the parish participate. This is a very joyful Mass, as we recall the institution of the Holy Eucharist and the priesthood. The priests wear white vestments, the altar is filled with flowers, the Gloria is sung and the bells are rung. After the Gloria, we shall not hear organ music and the bells until the Easter Vigil. The Liturgy of the Mass recalls the Passover, the Last Supper, which includes the Washing of the Feet.

At the Eucharist, when the Roman Canon is used (Eucharistic Prayer I), this special form of it is said, with proper formulas for the Communicantes (In communion with those), Hanc igitur (Therefore, Lord, we pray) and Qui pridie (On the day before he was to suffer):

Communicantes: Celebrating the most sacred day on which our Lord Jesus Christ was handed over for our sake, and in communion with those...

Hanc igitur: Therefore, Lord, we pray: graciously accept this oblation of our service, that of your whole family, which we make to you as we observe the day on which our Lord Jesus Christ handed on the mysteries of his Body and Blood for his disciples to celebrate....

Qui pridie: On the day before he was to suffer for our salvation and the salvation of all, that is today....

After the Communion Prayer, there is no final blessing. The Holy Eucharist is carried in procession through Church and then transferred into a place of reposition, usually a side chapel. The hymn Pange Lingua is also usually sung at this time, with the last two verses reserved until the Blessed Sacrament is placed into the tabernacle at the Altar of Repose.

After the Mass, we recall the Agony in the Garden, and the arrest and imprisonment of Jesus. The altar is stripped bare, crosses are removed or covered. The Eucharist has been placed in an altar of repose, and most churches are open for silent adoration, to answer Christ's invitation "Could you not, then, watch one hour with me?" (Matt 26:40)

[Deacon John Giglio @traddeacon]

"Ask [the Immaculata] not to respect your free will, but to act with you freely according to her will." (KW 1334)

Prayer of Consecration

O Immaculata, I renew my consecration to you. May I allow you to act freely as you wish in my life.
