Precept on Fasting & Abstinence Catholics between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to FAST on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. On these days only one full meal is permitted. Up to two collations (smaller meals which added together would not equal a full meal) are allowed if needed. All Catholics 14 years old and older are obliged to AB-STAIN from meat, soup and gravy made from meat on Ash Wednesday, Good Friday and all the Fridays of Lent. Fasting Prayer: Grant, we beseech Thee, almighty God, that Thy servants who discipline the body by fasting from food, may strive after righteousness by abstaining from sin. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Holy Thursday by Canon William Avis
Here follows the third in a series of articles giving an introduc-
tion to the pre-1955 Holy Week Ceremonies.
The Mass
The Mass of Holy Thursday commemorates the institution of the most Holy Eucharist, the Sacrifice of the Mass, and the
Priesthood. For this reason after the Priest intones the Gloria, the organ is played and the bells are rung in jubilation. However
as we are entering the mystery of our Lord’s suffering and death, after that Gloria, they are both silenced until the eve of
His Resurrection.
The Epistle lesson comes from I Corinthians 11: 20-32 in
which St. Paul the Apostle exhorts us to receive most Holy Communion with holy dispositions and the punishment of those
who receive It unworthily.
The Gospel lesson comes from John 13:1-15 which recounts
how our Lord washed the feet of His Apostles. By this act of charity and humility, our Lord shows to His Apostles the dispo-
sitions necessary to perform their sacred ministry. It is an act of common hospitality but also a sacred rite by which the ministers
of the Levitical Priesthood prepared themselves to offer the sac-rifices in the Temple. The feet are the part of the body which touches the earth, and to wash them symbolizes the detachment
from this world and purity of body, hence our Lord’s reply to St. Peter: “He that is washed needeth not but to wash his feet, but is
clean wholly.”
After the Gospel or sermon, the Credo is sung—a mark of
great feastdays.
The Canon of the Mass has a proper Communicantes, Hanc
Igitur and form of Consecration in commemoration of the day in which our Lord instituted the great Sacraments of the Eucha-rist and Priesthood. The priest consecrates two hosts this day;
one for this Mass and another for the Mass of the Presanctified of Good Friday. This shows the oneness of the Mass and the
Cross. After Holy Communion, this second Host is placed in a chalice and covered by a pall, paten and white veil which is
bound together with a white ribbon. Our Lord referred His Pas-sion many times to a chalice from which He must drink, and so
the chalice symbolizes His sufferings. The veil reminds us that our Lord’s Passion is a mystery—a truth which we cannot fully understand. The ribbon reminds us of how our Lord was bound
with ropes and chains and led to Caiphas, Pontius Pilate, Herod and finally Calvary.
The rest of the Mass is done coram Sanctissimo, which means
before the Blessed Sacrament exposed. The Sacred Ministers then do many genuflections and take care not to turn their backs to the Blessed Sacrament still present upon the altar. The Mass
concludes as usual with Post-Communion prayer, Ite missa est, blessing, and finally the Last Gospel. At the words Et Verbum
caro factum est, instead of simply genuflecting straight forward, all turn to the Blessed Sacrament to make this genuflection.
Note on the Mandatum: The ceremony of the washing of feet or Mandatum was traditionally done only at cathedrals and
monasteries where the superior would wash the feet of his sub-jects. It was always done outside of the church and not during
the Mass. It was a novelty introduced in the 1950’s to do this ceremony during Mass and in the sanctuary.
