Friends of the Rosary,Today is Holy Thursday of the Sacred Triduum (Triduum Sacrum), the three-part drama of Christ's redemption: Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday.On this day, Jesus instituted Holy Orders and left us His greatest gift, the Holy Eucharist.By reading the Gospels (cf. Matt 26:1 ff.; Mark 14:1 ff.; Luke 22:1 ff.; John 13:1 ff.), the faithful imitate Christ's humility in washing the apostles' feet at the Last Supper.We meditate on the following Jesus' actions in the Last Supper and after:(1) The eating of the Easter lamb or the paschal meal;(2) the washing of the disciples' feet;(3) the institution of the Most Holy Eucharist (the first Mass at which Jesus Christ, the eternal high priest, is the celebrant; the first Communion of the apostles; the first conferring of Holy Orders);(4) the foretelling of Judas' betrayal and Peter's denials;(5) the farewell discourse and priestly prayer of Jesus;(6) the agony and capture of Jesus in the Garden of Olives.There are two Masses on Holy Thursday—the Chrism Mass and the evening Mass of the Lord's Supper.In each diocese, there is a Chrism Mass, or Mass of the Holy Oils, usually celebrated in the morning at the cathedral. Catholics should make an effort to participate at the Mass at least once in their lives, to experience the communion of priests with their bishop. All the priests of the diocese are invited to concelebrate with the bishop. This Mass also celebrates the institution of the priesthood.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. 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.The Liturgy of the Mass recalls the Passover, the Last Supper, which includes the Washing of the Feet. The hymn Ubi Caritas, or Where Charity and Love Prevail, is usually sung at this time.After the Communion Prayer, there is no final blessing. The Holy Eucharist is carried in procession through the church and then transferred into a place of repose, usually a side chapel. The hymn Pange Lingua is also usually sung at this time.After the Mass, we recall the Agony in the Garden, and the arrest and imprisonment of Jesus. The altar is stripped bare, and 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)When the Eucharist is processed to the altar of repose after the Mass of the Lord's Supper, we should remain in quiet prayer and adoration, keeping Christ company.The place of repose has traditionally been referred to as "a holy sepulcher." The faithful go there to venerate Jesus, who was placed in a tomb following the crucifixion and in which he remained for some forty hours.There is a tradition, particularly in big cities with many parishes, to try to visit seven churches and their altar of repose during this evening.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

So many of us wait for the “perfect moment” to get serious about our relationship with God—when life is calmer, when we feel cleaner, when we're more “ready.” This Holy Week episode challenges that myth. Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks explain why Holy Week isn't just a yearly event—it's the pattern of all time, revealing God as relationship (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) and inviting us into that communion of love right in the middle of real-life chaos, failure, and vulnerability.They walk through how the Church's liturgies don't merely remind us of the Paschal Mystery—they make it present so we can actually participate and be transformed. And they name a common obstacle: when things go wrong—conflicts, tech glitches, miscommunication, shame, weakness—we assume we should stay away until we're “better.” Instead, those are precisely the places where love gets trained, where sin (missing the mark of love) gets healed, and where we learn to aim at what matters most: the perfection of love.Key IdeasHoly Week is the pattern of all time: every week echoes it (Thursday, Friday, Sunday), because God revealed Himself fully in it.God is relationship—an eternal communion of love—and Holy Week reveals the Father and the Son's rescue mission for humanity through the Holy Spirit.The Church's Holy Week liturgies lead us into these mysteries and make them present so we can participate, not just remember.The “perfect moment” is a trap: feelings of unworthiness, brokenness, and setbacks don't disqualify you—they're where love is practiced and healed.Aim matters: don't aim life at money, popularity, pleasure, or control—submit those to the service of love.Scripture Mentioned (no links)John 1:1–18 (Prologue of John referenced)Passion themes referenced: betrayal, abandonment, endurance “like a lamb” imagery (implicit Passion/Isaiah language)Links & References (official/source only)None explicitly referenced with official/source URLs in this transcript.CTA: If this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

Bishop Scott Bullock Homily from the Chrism Mass Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help, Rapid City March 20, 2026
Today, we have a reflection on the significance of Holy Week, focusing specifically on the events of Holy Wednesday and the transition into the Paschal Triduum. We highlight the betrayal of Judas as a fulfillment of ancient prophecies and an essential part of the divine script leading to salvation. Central to the discussion is the concept of human freedom, suggesting that existence and the ability to choose are gifts, even when people use their will to turn away from God. We further explain the liturgical importance of the Chrism Mass and the Mass of the Lord's Supper, which commemorate the establishment of the priesthood and the Eucharist. Ultimately, the message encourages listeners to embrace their own sufferings and challenges as they prepare for heaven, viewing life as a journey of rising and falling in faith.
Easter is the climax to the Liturgical Year and is rich in beauty and symbolic liturgies. As one prepares for Easter through observing Lent, we should also take care to prepare to celebrate Easter though studying the Liturgies, customs, and celebrations in the week leading to and from Easter Sunday. In this episode of On Mission, Chris Pierno, Sarah Scalfaro, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. explore the Holy Week liturgies and how they celebrate Easter in their homes and with their families.Holy Week's rich liturgies include Palm Sunday, Chrism Mass, Mass of the Lord's Supper, Good Friday of the Passion of the Lord, the Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of the Lord. When we are prepared to celebrate these liturgies, they add to the grandeur and solemnity of Easter Sunday and enable you to enter more deeply into the celebration. Outside of the liturgies, we can celebrate it within our homes with traditional meals and with family. Incorporating some Easter specific traditions can further elevate the joy of the occasion.

On September 12th, Bishop Gregory Parkes celebrated the anniversary of the Dedication of St. Jude the Apostle as Cathedral of the Diocese of Saint Petersburg. During his homily he shared that the Cathedral of St. Jude the Apostle points us to God, reminding us that faith should be at the center of our lives. Its doors are open to all, inviting every person, whether rich or poor, parishioner or a stranger to encounter God's love and His mercy. St. Jude was elevated to a cathedral when the Diocese of Saint Petersburg was established in 1968. It was formally dedicated on September 12. 2013, following a 15-month renovation that included the addition of a new, permanent marble altar and an expansion of more than 7,000 square feet. The Cathedral is a spiritual home to Catholics from all five counties of the Diocese, as many large celebrations are held there, including the Chrism Mass, the Rite of Election, and ordination Masses. The Cathedral has been designated a Place of Pilgrimage for the Jubilee Year of Hope. Thousands of pilgrims have already visited the Cathedral this year finding hope in the love and mercy of Jesus Christ.St. Jude the Apostle, pray for us.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Holy Thursday, the first day of the Paschal Triduum of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of the Lord, we listen to the words spoken by Christ Jesus to His apostles at the Last Supper, after He had completed the washing of the feet in all humility.As reflected in the Gospel, we meditate on Christ's actions that day. They included:1 - The eating of the Easter lamb or the paschal meal;2 - The washing of the disciples' feet;3 - The institution of the Most Holy Eucharist and the Holy Orders. It was the first Mass at which Jesus Christ, the eternal high priest, was the celebrant, with the first Communion of the apostles.4 - The foretelling of Judas' betrayal and Peter's denials;5 - The farewell discourse and priestly prayer of Jesus;6 - The agony and capture of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane.On Holy Thursday, there are two Masses:1 — The Chrism Mass or Mass of the Holy Oils is usually said in the morning at the diocese's cathedral. The local Bishop consecrates the holy oils to be used during the next year and celebrates the institution of the priesthood. Catholics experience the communion of priests with their bishop in this Mass and give thanks for the Church's priests and for Jesus Christ, the eternal High Priest who "became the source of eternal salvation to all who obey him" [Hebrews 5.9]2 — The evening Mass of the Lord's Supper. The whole community and the priests of the parish participate. We recall the institution of the Holy Eucharist and the priesthood and celebrate the Washing of the Feet.In the readings, we recall the Agony in the Garden, and the arrest and imprisonment of Jesus.After the Communion Prayer, the Holy Eucharist is carried through the Church and placed into the tabernacle at the Altar of Repose.We remain in quiet prayer and adoration, keeping Christ company. The Blessed Sacrament is conserved in a closed tabernacle.There is a tradition to try and visit seven churches for silent adoration, to answer Christ's invitation "Could you not, then, watch one hour with me?"

Concluding with the transformative power of the Easter Vigil, this episode invites Catholics to participate fully in the Triduum services.

Holy Thursday includes two important celebrations. The Chrism Mass where all the priests renew their priestly vows, and the bishop blesses the holy oils. It commemorates the Lord's institution of the priesthood. That's in the morning. But tonight is the commemoration of the commandment of charity, the mandatum novum, and the institution of the Eucharist, where he ask to do this in memory of me. The power of a memory that can actually bring him back alive. Thumbnail: Pope Francis washing the feet of inmates at a juvenile detention in the outskirts of Rome, 2023.
