St. John Vianney
Catholic Church
Celebrates
The Paschal Triduum
2021
Every year, the Church celebrates the great mysteries of the
redemption of mankind in the "most Sacred Triduum of the
crucifixion, burial, and resurrection.” The Sacred Triduum
extends from the Mass of the Lord's Supper on Holy
Thursday to Vespers on Easter Sunday.Welcome
As we begin this holy time of the Sacred Triduum (three days) and our
celebrations of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Our Lord and Savior
Jesus Christ, I would like to welcome all of you to St. John Vianney Catholic
Church. Whether you are a long-time parishioner, newly registered, a guest, or
visiting friends and family, know that you are welcome here.
The liturgy we will celebrate in the next few days is arguably one of the most
beautiful and rich celebrations the Church has to offer. My prayer is that you will
allow yourself to set other matters aside and enter deeply into the mystery of our
faith. I encourage you and your family to attend the entire Sacred Triduum
Liturgy.
We begin on Thursday night with the Mass of the Lord’s Supper where we
commemorate the Institution of the Eucharist and the great gift of the Priesthood
of Jesus Christ. On Friday, we honor and venerate the cross, the very instrument
of our salvation. At nightfall on Saturday, we will begin our celebration of the
Resurrection of the Lord with the Easter Vigil. We will welcome new members
into our faith through the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist, as
well as listen to the story of our salvation history as it is told to us in the
scriptures. Sunday morning, we will gather again to celebrate with great joy the
Resurrection of our Lord.
Our celebration of Easter will continue as we celebrate the “Octave” (eight days)
of Easter. I hope that this will be a time of great spiritual renewal and an
opportunity for each one of us to experience the infinite love that God has for His
people. May God continue to bless you and your families throughout the Easter
Season!

3Holy Thursday
Mass of the Lord’s Supper
At the Last Supper, Jesus gave us a new commandment: “Love one
another as I have loved you.” He showed His love by washing the feet
of His disciples. He gave us the Holy Eucharist in order that we might
have the power to keep His new commandment. And He gave us the
priesthood, in order that He might always be present among us in His
holy sacraments. Let us renew our dedication to Christ as we celebrate
and renew His Last Supper.

7Good Friday
Service of Our Lord’s Passion
Good Friday is a day of powerful contemplation on the mystery of the
Cross. It is more than a day of mourning. It is a day of victory. On this
saddest of days, the Church wants us to see the purpose and effect of the
cross, which is the redemption and salvation of mankind. The apparent
defeat is actually a victory, a victory which will be complete on Easter.
There is no Mass today. There are three parts to the Liturgy: the Liturgy
of the Word, the Veneration of the Cross, and the Communion Service.
8On Good Friday, we do not genuflect upon entering and leaving the church
because the tabernacle is empty of the Blessed Sacrament. The door to the
tabernacle is opened and the candle lamp is extinguished, as if in mourning.
The Liturgy begins in silent procession.
As the priests and deacons prostrate before the altar, please kneel.

Stations of the Cross April 2nd at 6:30 pm
The Stations of the Cross began as the practice to retrace the final journey of
Jesus Christ to Calvary. A practice developed for those who could not make the
trip to Jerusalem. It eventually took the form of the fourteen stations currently
found in almost every church.
Tenebrae April 2nd at 8:30 pm
Tenebrae, meaning “darkness” or “shadows,” is derived from the phrase in the
Gospels “darkness came over the whole land.” (Mt 27:45) The service is in
dimmed light, and with each psalm, song, or reading, a candle is extinguished. It
ends in darkness and with a striking sound, “strepitus,” that signifies the closing of
the Tomb and the tumult in Heaven.
10Easter Vigil
Christ has conquered sin and death by his own death and resurrection. We
celebrate the resurrection of Christ by signs of Light, Water, the Word, and
Food. As the Liturgy begins, the new fire is blessed and the Easter candle is
lit. This candle represents the risen Christ. It will burn during the Easter
season; it will be used at baptisms to show that we share Christ’s
resurrection through baptism. It will be used at funerals to show that we
live in hope of sharing Christ’s resurrection.
11Service of Light-Begins Outside
Blessing of the Fire and Preparation of the Paschal Candle
O God, who through your Son
bestowed upon the faithful the fire of your glory,
sanctify this new fire, we pray,
and grant that, by these paschal celebrations,
we may be so inflamed with heavenly desires,
that with minds made pure
we may attain festivities of unending splendor.
Through Christ our Lord. AMEN.
The priest may say the following in whole ore in part as he scribes the design into the candle:
Christ yesterday and today vertical bar
the beginning and the end, horizontal bar
the Alpha, A, above the cross
and the Omega; below the cross
all time belongs to him 2, upper left
and all the ages: 0, upper right
to him be glory and power 2, lower left
through every age for ever. AMEN. 1, lower right
The priest may insert five grains of incense into the candle in the form of a cross, meanwhile saying:
1. By his holy cross 1
2. and glorious wounds, 425
3. may Christ the Lord 3
4. guard us
5. and protect us. AMEN.
The priest lights the paschal candle from the new fire, saying:
May the light of Christ rising in glory
dispel the darkness of our hearts and minds.
Procession
The Deacon, standing and raising up the candle, sings: The Light of Christ
And all reply: Thanks be to God.
Led by the Easter Candle, all then enter the Church. Please keep distance to
those around you as you process into the church. At the church door the
candle is lifted high and the acclamation is sung again. All light their candles
from the Easter candle and continue in the procession. When the candle arrives
at the altar, the acclamation is sung a third time.
12Easter Proclamation The Exsúltet
In this ancient text the church gives thanks and praise to God for all that is recalled
this night: Adam’s fall, the deliverance from Egypt, the Passover of Christ, the
wedding of earth and heaven, our reconciliation.

We then extinguish our candles.
