pWotD Episode 2908: Good Friday Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 466,574 views on Friday, 18 April 2025 our article of the day is Good Friday.Good Friday, also known as Holy Friday, Great Friday, Great and Holy Friday, or Friday of the Passion of the Lord, is a solemn Christian holy day commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus and his death at Calvary (Golgotha). It is observed during Holy Week as part of the Paschal Triduum.Members of many Christian denominations, including the Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Lutheran, Anglican, Methodist, Oriental Orthodox, United Protestant and some Reformed traditions (including certain Continental Reformed, Presbyterian and Congregationalist churches), observe Good Friday with fasting and church services. In many Catholic, Lutheran, Anglican and Methodist churches, the Service of the Great Three Hours' Agony is held from noon until 3 p.m.—the hours the Bible records darkness covering the land until Jesus' death on the cross. In the Catholic, Lutheran and Anglican traditions of Christianity, the Stations of the Cross are prayed in the evening of Good Friday, as with other Fridays of Lent. Communicants of the Moravian Church have a Good Friday tradition of cleaning gravestones in Moravian cemeteries.The date of Good Friday varies from one year to the next in both the Gregorian and Julian calendars. Eastern and Western Christianity disagree over the computation of the date of Easter and therefore of Good Friday. Good Friday is a widely instituted legal holiday around the world. Some predominantly Christian countries, such as Germany, have laws prohibiting certain acts—public dancing, horse racing—in remembrance of the sombre nature of Good Friday.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:01 UTC on Saturday, 19 April 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Good Friday on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Emma.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, Friday of the Passion of the Lord, Holy Friday, or Good Friday (a deviation of the term “God's Friday), the Church observes the earthly death of our Savior. It's a solemn day of mourning, prayer, fasting, and a sense of sadness as we acknowledge our failure to serve our Lord.We slow down, restrict ourselves from entertainment, participate in processions and devotions (such as the Rosary, Stations of the Cross, and the Divine Mercy), and meditate on readings and prayers related to the passion of Christ.At three o'clock, the faithful attend the “Celebration of the Lord's Passion.” It's not a Mass but a service with three parts: Liturgy of the Word, Veneration of the Cross, and Holy Communion.At the beginning, the priests and deacons prostrate themselves in silent prayer. The General Intentions cover ten areas:For the ChurchFor the PopeFor the clergy and laity of the ChurchFor those preparing for baptismFor the unity of ChristiansFor the Jewish peopleFor those who do not believe in ChristFor those who do not believe in GodFor all in public officeFor those in special needIn part two, we venerate and kiss the wooden cross “on which hung the Savior of the world.” In part three, the congregation receives Holy Communion, and everyone departs in silence.The liturgies of the Paschal Triduum are one continuous act of worship. Yesterday, we saw Christ Jesus at the Last Supper completing the washing of the feet in all humility and instituting the Holy Eucharist and the Holy Orders. Today, at the midpoint of the Triduum of the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of the Lord, our pilgrimage comes to Calvary. Tomorrow, the Easter Vigil of Easter will begin with the Service of Light.The first reading at today's commemoration of the Passion is the fourth of Isaiah's songs of the Suffering Servant.Then we hear St. John's narrative of Christ's Passion. To protect and heal us from darkness, Christ Jesus allowed the fury of sin to destroy Him. He endured the pain of the cross bearing our sins.The Suffering Servant pleased the Father not by his agony but by being obedient to the point of death on the cross, offering his body in sacrifice to take away the sin of the world.St. Anselm said that the death of the Son reestablished the right relationship between divinity and humanity.In Jesus, with his arms outstretched on the cross, we find the redemption of our suffering. He is the source of our eternal salvation.Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

pWotD Episode 2907: Maundy Thursday Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 199,872 views on Thursday, 17 April 2025 our article of the day is Maundy Thursday.Maundy Thursday, also referred to as Holy Thursday, or Thursday of the Lord's Supper, among other names, is a Christian feast during Holy Week that marks the beginning of the Paschal Triduum, and commemorates the Washing of the Feet (Maundy) and Last Supper of Jesus Christ with the Apostles, as described in the canonical gospels.It is the fifth day of Holy Week, preceded by Holy Wednesday (Spy Wednesday) and followed by Good Friday. "Maundy" comes from the Latin word mandatum, or commandment, reflecting Jesus' words "I give you a new commandment." The date of the day will vary according to whether the Gregorian calendar or the Julian calendar is used.

How do we make the most of these Holy Days?  Keep Jesus company in his passion and death.  To get the most out of Easter, let's try to stay with Jesus from the Last Supper through his death, burial and Resurrection.  https://comeawaybyyourselves.com

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?" (Matt 26:40)Ave Maria!Jesus, I Trust In You!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.

Tenebrae is a Christian remembrance of Christ's crucifixion. The music and scripture chosen commemortes the darkeness that seeks to overcome the inextinguashable light of the Son of God. Tenebrae prepares the Christ for the darkness and hope of the Paschal Triduum. Music by St. Mark Choir pursuant to One License Annual License w/Podcasting # A-726294

As we contemplate the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of our Lord during Holy Week, it is good that we focus for a time on WHY Jesus chose to die for us. He gave Himself totally on the Cross as a free gift, so that we might be reconciled to the Father. That necessarily entails the forgiveness of our sins.

After Completing the First 5 Weeks of Lent: Preparing for the Actual Mystery of Holy Week: Lenten Conference #6 Entering the Mystery: A Journey Through Holy Week This is Part 1 of this conference, given just before Holy Week. The conference delves deeply into the liturgical, historical, and spiritual significance of the days leading up to and including the Triduum: Palm Sunday, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the beginning of the Easter celebration. Key themes include: • The centrality of Easter Sunday in Christian life, considered the most important holy day from which all others flow. • Palm Sunday of the Lord's Passion, highlighting the liturgy's symbolic movements and how they transition the faithful from celebration to solemnity. • The significance of movement and ritual, such as the procession and the use of physical gestures like kneeling and walking to mirror spiritual journeys. • Holy Thursday, particularly the Mass of the Lord's Supper, the institution of the Eucharist, the washing of feet, and the transition from Lent into the Paschal Triduum. • Good Friday, emphasizing the unique nature of the day—its silence, absence of the Mass, and focus on the priesthood and sacrifice of Christ. The reflection weaves theological insight with liturgical instruction, urging the faithful to enter into the mysteries of the Passion with body, mind, and spirit.

After Completing the First 5 Weeks of Lent: Preparing for the Actual Mystery of Holy Week: Lenten Conference #6: Part 2 In Silence and Fire: Encountering Christ in the Holy Days This is Part 2 of this conference, given just before Holy Week. This conference continues by capturing a rich and passionate reflection on the liturgical depth and spiritual symbolism of the Good Friday and Easter celebrations within the Catholic Church. We are led within a powerful journey through the Paschal Triduum, beginning with the veiling and gradual unveiling of the crucifix during the Good Friday liturgy. This ritual highlights the unfolding mystery of Christ's passion, encouraging believers to first understand, pray, and unite their hearts with Jesus' sacrificial love before visually encountering the cross. The Good Friday Liturgy The Good Friday liturgy is marked by solemn intercessions for all humanity, affirming the universal reach of Christ's redemptive act. The veneration of the single crucifix serves as a profound moment of communal reverence, underscoring the singularity of Christ's sacrifice. The Easter Vigil is celebrated with grandeur and symbolism—starting with the blessing of a new fire and the lighting of the Paschal candle, representing the risen Christ. Through light, scripture, and sacramental renewal, the liturgy transitions the faithful from darkness to light, death to resurrection. This includes the renewal of baptismal vows and the sprinkling with holy water, symbolically cleansing the ashes of Lent and marking spiritual rebirth. The Church also reflects on the value of sitting in silence before an empty tabernacle on Holy Saturday morning, recognizing the rare spiritual weight of absence. The entire experience is portrayed as an invitation to deeper renewal, awareness, and joyful participation in the mysteries of faith.

By entering into the Paschal Triduum, we can respond to Christ's invitation, "Love one another as I have loved you."

Tenebrae, the hour of darkness, was celebrated at St. Mark the Evangelist on the Wednesday of Holy Week. Ancient hymns, scripture readings, prayers and a meditation are offered to feed the reverence of the faithful during this holiest time of the year. Art:The Crucifixion Pietro Lorenzetti Italian 1340s On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 635 Lorenzetti imbued this familiar biblical subject with a new sense of pathos and dramatic intensity. Details such as the piercing of Christ's side with a spear, the breaking of the legs of the thieves, and the Virgin swooning into the arms of her companions ensure an emotional response from the viewer. Lorenzetti creates a strong sense of shared human experience by placing his figures in pairs or groups, allowing us to imagine the various reactions that were felt by witnesses of the Crucifixion.

Homily given by Ft. Andrew Thornton

Homily for Good Friday given by Fr. Eric Underwood

For some folks, this Holy Week is just one of many, many Holy Weeks in a lifetime of Church life. The week may have lost its luster. Perhaps there is a way to reinvest and reinvigorate this, our last week of Lent 2024.

The Paschal Triduum is the holiest and shortest season in the liturgical calendar. Fr. P.J. McManus joins the show to discuss the Triduum and how we can best enter into these holy days leading up to Easter.

Vaticano recaps the Holy Father's activities during the Paschal Triduum and Easter weekend, a look at Pope Francis update to the motu proprio, and a visit to the Marian shrine dedicated to Our Lady of Revelation.

Fr. Sean presents the liturgies of the Paschal Triduum and Dcn. Jacob keeps trying to derail him by talking about the joy of the resurrection.

There's a serious concern on how we understand Easter, the greatest mystery and celebration in our Christian life. Sadly, we are stucked in the trivial things in celebrating the Paschal Triduum like eggs, overacting and over dressed Roman soldiers and unconsciously pulling away our attention to Jesus and his loving act to save us. [John 20:1-9, Easter Sunday]

    Maundy Thursday – April 6, 2023: May God's words be spoken, may God's words be heard.  Amen. Tonight we begin.  Tonight we enter into a three day service – the Paschal Triduum.  And as I note each year, there will be no dismissal at the end of the services tonight and tomorrow night… The post “Do You Know What I Have Done For You?” appeared first on Christ Episcopal Church.

Homily for Good Friday given by Fr. Christian DeCarlo

In this segment from the Son Rise Morning Show, Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. discusses the Sacred Paschal Triduum, the three most solemn, holiest days of the Church year, beginning on Holy Thursday, continuing with Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, and concluding with Evening Prayer II on Easter Sunday. Fr. Frank discusses the liturgies of the triduum, including: the Mass of the Lord's Supper, the Commemoration of the Passion of the Lord, the Easter Vigil, and Easter Sunday.  On Holy Thursday, there may be a Chrism Mass celebrated at the Cathedral where the sacred sacramental oils are blessed for the next year and there is a Mass in the evening with the Mandatum, the washing of the feet as Jesus did, followed by a procession of the Blessed Sacrament to an altar of repose where the faithful can pray with Christ.  On Good Friday, the church buildings are stripped bare, like Jesus was on the way to Calvary, and the Blessed Sacrament is not present. A Liturgy of the Word is celebrated followed by Communion and veneration of the Holy Cross. Next, on Holy Saturday, the bells are quiet as the Church prepares for the Easter Vigil where the Paschal Candle is blessed and the Exultet is sung, followed by the return of the Alleluia. The faithful will renew their Baptismal vows and prepare for the Resurrection of the Lord. Finally, Easter Sunday Mass is celebrated where again the faithful will renew their Baptismal vows. The Sacred Paschal Triduum then concludes with Evening Prayer II on Easter Evening.To learn more about the Triduum and the Easter Season visit the Catholic Apostolate Center's resource page here.

"As you drink from the cup of salvation tonight, and on Holy Saturday and Easter, know that the cup of salvation is filled with God's unconditional love for you. Jesus' death was the cost of the love that fills your cup and mine forever more. Drink it to the dregs and be saved." The Rev. Canon Dana Colley Corsello preached on Maundy Thursday, perfectly setting the tone for the Paschal Triduum.

The Paschal Triduum is the holiest and shortest season in the liturgical calendar. Fr. P.J. McManus joins the show to discuss the Triduum and how we can best enter into these holy days leading up to Easter.

Before diving deeply into the heart of tonight's homily, I want to ensure that we all share an understanding of an important concept. A symbol is something that points to something else of much deeper or more abstract meaning than the initial symbol itself could contain. A stop sign, for example, is a symbol for the instruction to stop; the sign itself cannot make us stop, but our shared knowledge of what it stands for, makes us stop. The Sacraments are symbols—not simply symbols, but symbols nonetheless. Baptism points us to a much deeper understanding of eternal life than simply being washed in water could do alone. The Eucharist points us to Christ's salvific actions, on the Cross, to His Resurrection, and even more. Baptism and Eucharist are much more than symbols, of course; beyond pointing to it, Baptism is the entry into eternal life in the here and now; Eucharist points to Christ's salvific actions because it is truly the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ. But the symbolic action of the sacraments is crucial to understand because it allows us to enter more deeply into the mystery—that is to say, to enter more deeply into that which is beyond the human experience: the divine experience. The eternal life offered in baptism is a good thing, indeed a very good thing, but by understanding the symbolic value of the sacrament, we are invited to enter more deeply into the mystery, to ponder what it means that are sins are forgiven and to embrace salvation it offers in the here and now—to be changed by God not just in eternal life but in our present life. Every time we receive the Eucharist, we receive the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Christ, even if we don't understand what it is or what it points to, but when we fully participate in the great mystery by understanding what the symbol points to, we even more fully embrace the Grace that God gives us, allowing a more profound change in us through God's action in the world. I preface tonight's homily be ensuring an understanding of symbols because tonight's Mass has a symbol that is only seen once a year, and sometimes, as has been the case in the last two years, and I gather even longer in this Parish community, even more rarely. The Washing of the Feet is a unique symbol in tonight's Mass. The Gospel assures us that this important symbol is not an arbitrary decision, but an imitation of the last moments of the life of Jesus. Describing this important event in the last hour of Jesus' life, Pope Emeritus Benedict says that: “Jesus represents the whole of his saving ministry in one symbolic act. He divests himself of his divine splendour; he, as it were, kneels down before us; he washes and dries our soiled feet, in order to make us fit to sit at the table for God's wedding feast. …[T]he meaning is that Jesus' love ‘to the end' is what cleans us, washes us. The gesture of washing feet expresses precisely this: it is the servant-love of Jesus that draws us out of our pride and makes us fit for God, makes us ‘clean.'” There is such profound theological meaning in the Washing of the Feet. It reveals even more clearly how the ministry of Jesus is about the emptying of Himself, the willingness to be the servant instead of the served, and it points to how Christ's salvific act will wash us of our sins and make us prepared to share in His great heavenly wedding feast. Long before I knew about this great theological meaning, and indeed, long before I knew much about Christianity at all, I shared with a friend about my desire to know more about the Christian faith. Growing up, her Christian faith was important to her, and one particular moment stood out. As I remember her telling me, near the end of a retreat opportunity, the small group of young Christians she spent much of her time with were gathered together and told that they were going to have an opportunity to wash one another's feet. There was much trepidation in this small group about what that would mean. The Washing of Feet is such a unique thing that there isn't really any contemporary equivalent, but in Jesus' day, it really was just a sign of power; the master would have his dirty feet washed by his slave who was understood by all to be beneath the master. In her group, my friend was uncomfortable as they were all instructed to take off their shoes and socks, and sitting around nervously with her peers, she was very unsure what to do next. The leaders in the group took the initiative, though, and one leader in particular made a bee-line to her, a leader whom she thought never really liked her and with whom there had even been some conflict. The leader poured warm water over her feet and smiled awkwardly at her as he wiped the water away, and my friend described how in that moment, all the awkwardness washed away, all the tension between the two of them washed way, and she knew that she was loved. In this great act of service, in this willingness for both to be vulnerable and awkward and uncomfortable, love was brought even more fully into the world—the love of God, the love of neighbour which is the love of God, love! Eventually, my friend washed her leader's feet, too, and while the two were still the same people after, the same people with their own flaws and wounds, their own victories and defeats, the Washing of the Feet revealed to them so much more about themselves, their relationship, and the great invitation that the Lord was and is constantly giving them. My friend's story has really made me excited to wash feet. It feels strange to say that. Again, we don't really have a contemporary equivalent to this action, so saying that “I'm really excited to wash feet” might sound very strange. But I love the symbol, and I love that I'll get to participate in the symbol. I've been eager for my whole Priesthood, and then some, to share in this awkwardness, to be made uncomfortable and to make uncomfortable, to share in this action that so radically contrasts how we act and believe and behave by the standards of the world.  This invitation to act differently than how the world acts has been part of God's tool box from the very beginning. In our first reading today, we hear the Exodus story that is so familiar to us that we might forget how radical it is that God had the Jewish people identify their unique role in His saving plan by killing the false idols of Egypt—making their neighbour look at them strangely but ultimately saving their life. The reason that St Paul emphasizes the Eucharistic action over and over again to the Corinthians and the other communities he serves is because it's so different than how the Jewish people and the Gentile people worshipped before. Eat the body and drink the blood of your God Man, proclaim the death of your saviour who was killed like a criminal, but in doing so, know that your faith points to the fact that He has come again and will continue to come again over and over again in His perpetual presence in the world. As Christians, we are called to act in the world as symbols that point to something well beyond the world's understanding—that leaders are called to serve, that the rich are those who give away their wealth, that the powerful are those who hang on the Cross. Or perhaps most simply, in the words of Jesus Himself, “I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you.” The Paschal Triduum which we begin to celebrate today points out and celebrates the most radical things in the life and death of Jesus that we are called not simply to accept and worship but to be transformed by and imitate.

Word and Songs | Journeying with Christ During the Holy Week with Sr. Lines Salazar, fsp Scriptwriter: Sr. Pinky Barrientos, fsp As we prepare ourselves for the celebration of the Holy Week and Paschal Triduum, let us allow ourselves to be immersed in the love of God, who offered Himself to die on the cross so that we might be saved from sin. The Holy Week invites us to reflect more deeply on the great love God has for all of His creation. It is a love that gives, nurtures, and overflows in abundance. When we look at Jesus on the Cross what we see is someone who has loved much, we see the face – as St. Paul says - of an “emptied” God, of a God who has taken on the condition of a servant, humbled and obedient unto death (cf. Phil 2:7). As we enter the solemn atmosphere of the Holy Week, we are drawn deeply to the realization of our sinfulness and of God's infinite love for all of us. Jesus embraced our humanity and everything that we are, except sin. He died on the cross so that we may be liberated from sin that separates us from God's loving embrace. “It is essential that each of us see the journey of Christ this week as our own calling in life. We must journey toward the glory of the Cross with our Lord. From a worldly perspective, the Cross does not make sense. But from the perspective of the Father in Heaven, the Cross is not only the source of the greatest glory of His Son, but it is also the path by which we share in that glory. We must die with Him, sacrifice all for Him, choose to follow Him, and hold nothing back in our resolve to lay down our lives out of love.” “Jesus could have exercised His divine power and refused to embrace His Cross. But He didn't. Instead, He willingly walked through this week anticipating and embracing the suffering and rejection He received. And He didn't do so begrudgingly or even with regret. He embraced this week willingly, choosing it as His own will. Why would Jesus do such a thing? Why would He choose suffering and death? Because in the Father's perfect wisdom, this suffering and death were for a greater purpose. God chose to confound the wisdom of the world by using His own suffering and Crucifixion as the perfect means of our holiness. In this act, He transformed the greatest evil into the greatest good. Now, as a result of our faith in this act, the crucifix hangs centrally in our churches and in our homes as a constant reminder that not even the greatest of evils can overcome the power, wisdom, and love of God. God is more powerful than death itself and God has the final victory even when all seems lost.” let us profoundly reflect on this “divine act by which the Father permitted this grave suffering so as to use it for the greatest good ever known. The Lord gave His life freely and calls us to do the same. Reflect upon the cross in your life. Know that the Lord can use this for good, bringing forth an abundance of mercy through your free embrace as you offer it to Him as a willing sacrifice.” “Let this week give you divine hope. So often we can be tempted toward discouragement and, even worse, we can be tempted toward despair. Nothing can ultimately steal away our joy unless we let it. No hardship, no burden, and no cross can conquer us if we remain steadfast in Christ Jesus letting Him transform all we endure in life by The glorious embrace of His own Cross.” “How is God calling You to step forward in a sacrificial way out of love? How is God calling you to courageously embrace your calling to give your life away? Strive to see this week from the perspective of the Father in Heaven and pray that you will also see the ways in which the Father is calling you to imitate His Son. Let us go and die with Him, for it is in the Cross of Christ that we will discover His eternal glory.”

The Easter Season cannot truly be appreciated without fully comprehending why Jesus had to die, and consequently, why Jesus had to rise.

The day that changed the world: Good Friday. In the midst of our Paschal Triduum, tune in to how Jesus' death has changed the lives of Fr. Joseph, Diane, Lauren, and Paul - and the lives of every human being through history.

[Comment: Crucifixion] Friends of the Rosary: Today, Good Friday, we commemorate the crucifixion and death of Jesus Christ. We observe Holy Friday as part of the Paschal Triduum preceding Easter Sunday. It coincides with the Jewish observance of Passover. For Catholics, it's a fasting and prayer day. There is no celebration of the Eucharist. In the afternoon, ideally at three o'clock, we attend the celebration of the Lord's Passion, including the Veneration of the Cross. We say the prayer of surrender to the will of the Father in Heaven: “Father, into your hands I commend my spirit (Luke 23:46)”. The Father accepted the ultimate sacrifice of His Son's earthly life for the salvation of the world. We gaze upon the crucifixion of Jesus and reflect on His brutal agony and earthly death. We see Jesus' total surrender as an act of perfect love for the Father — an act into which we are invited to participate. We use this prayer as a way of uniting ourselves with the eternal Son.

In this podcast, Fr. Paul Donlan reflects on how we are called to imitate Christ in laying down our lives for the love of others. Today, Holy Thursday, marks the beginning of the Paschal Triduum-- the three days commemorating the crucifixion, death and resurrection of Jesus Christ. As we contemplate these events, may we remember that Christ's great sacrifice is something we should aspire to emulate in our everyday lives through “the humdrum tasks of daily life-- in marriage, in family, in the workplace, in moving about our local communities, with people we don't even know personally.”

What is the Paschal Triduum? On this episode of The Road to Emmaus, explore with Scott Hahn the reason why it is so important for us to recall the passion, crucifixion, death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus during the final days of Holy Week, beginning with the evening liturgy on Holy Thursday and culminating upon the Easter Vigil.

Throughout Holy Week and the Paschal Triduum, the monastic liturgy reverts to a simpler, more ancient form. One element is the reading before Compline that St Benedict recommends in his Rule. We gather in choir to listen to the Last Discourse, read in English over three nights. The translation used in this recording is the Revised Standard Version. On the Wednesday of Holy Week we read this section, John 14.1 – 15.11

Today we visit with Dr Larry Chapp and Dr. Carmina Chapp, both theology professors who run the Dorothy Day Catholic Worker Farm in Harvey's Lake. We talk about what a Catholic Worker Farm is, what role it can play in our rapidly changing world, how the theology of the Paschal Triduum speaks to us now more than ever, and ways we can more fully enter into the Mass while watching from home.

The Catholic Church has seasons, just like the natural world does. Our seasons are based on what is happening in the Church as to what season it is. We have 6 seasons: Advent, Christmas, Lent, Paschal Triduum, Easter and Ordinary Time. Ordinary time occurs twice, between Christmas and Lent and then again between Easter and […] The post The Seasons of the Church Year appeared first on Ultimate Christian Podcast Radio Network.

As I was living the sacred days of the Paschal Triduum this year, I have been thinking of how overwhelmed people are feeling these days. It seems as if we have been brought to the edge: as a country, as a Church, and even the burning of Notre Dame has been as a kick in the gut.  Though we prefer to meditate on Jesus as the kind and gentle Shepherd, the merciful Savior, the consoling Master, Jesus actually brought his disciples into a state of “overwhelm” a number of times. Consider the storm on the lake. Jesus told the apostles to go to the other side of the lake. A sudden storm threatened to capsize the boat. Spotting Jesus walking on the water they cried out in fear. Peter, ever the courageous one, demanded to walk across the water to him. Looking down at the waves that swirled at his feet, he began to sink, crying out, “Lord, save me.” Or consider when Jesus was preaching into the evening and the apostles urged him to let the people go into the village to find something to eat. “No. You give them something to eat.” And then he offered them no instructions. “How are we going to do that?” was the immediate response of the befuddled twelve. There are any number of times when Jesus brought his apostles into “overwhelm” mode. But Holy Thursday was a dramatic shift. With the shouts of joy and praise still in the disciples’ ears and hearts, the mood turned somber as the darkness fell. To the men who still wondered who was first, who was better, and if they were going to get something from an expected victory of Jesus over the Romans, their Lord and Master was now about to teach them truly what his life as Emmanuel was really about....
