Maundy Thursday

MAUNDY THURSDAY comes from the Latin word "mandatum," meaning mandate or commandment.  It was on Thursday that Jesus gave a new commandment - "A new command I give you: Love one another.  By this all will know you are my disciples, if you love one another."

Pange Lingua Gloriosi

(Praise We Christ's Immortal Body)

TEXT: St. Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274)

MUSIC: Mode III Chant
Processional Chant

Pange lingua gloriosi

Corporis mysterium,

Sanguinisque pretiosi,

Quem in mundi pretium

Fructus ventris generosi

Rex effudit gentium.

Nobis datus, nobis natus,

Ex intacta Virgine,

Et in mundo conversatus,

Sparso verbi semine,

Sui moras incolatus,

Miro clausit ordine.

In supremae nocte coenae,

Recumbens cum fratibus,

Observata lege plene,

Cibis in legalibus,

Cibum turbae duodenae,

Sedat suis manibus.

Verbum caro panem verum,

Verbo carnem efficit.

Fitque sanguis Christi merum,

Et si sensus deficit,

Ad firmandum cor sincerum,

Sola fides sufficit.

Tantum ergo Sacramentum

(Humbly Let Us Voice Our Homage)

TEXT: St. Thomas Aquinas (d. 1274)

MUSIC: Mode III Chant

Chant at the Incensation

Tantum Ergo Sacramentum,

Veneremur cernui:

Et antiquum documentum,

Novocedat rirue:

Praestet fides supplementum,

Sensuum defectui.

Genitori, Genitoque,

Laus et jubilatio,

Salus, honor, virtus quoque,

Sit et benedictio:

Procedenti aabutroque,

Comparsit laudatio.  Amen.

THE MASS OF THE LORD'S SUPPER

The one table of the Lord welcomes all.  The newly blessed oils to be used for Baptism, Confirmation, and the Anointing of the Sick are presented to the community.  The imitation of the washing of the feet at the Last Supper by Jesus is a model to follow as commitment to service.
