Why a Triduum Book?
by the editors of Ministry & Liturgy
“If we are ever going to put our common worship into proper
perspective, we must begin by truly believing that the Easter Vigil is the
most important celebration of the liturgical year. No other liturgical service
can compete with the Vigil, either for solemnity or for centrality of feast.
Even the Christmas Eve Mass, with its carols, creches, and poinsettias, can
never even approach the solemn joy, the anticipation, the wonderment of
the Easter Vigil.”
Eileen E. Freeman wrote those words as an introduction to The Holy
Week Book in 1979. That book has been a perennial best-seller,
despite some of the more dated suggestions and articles it contains. Its
continued sales speak to the commitment parish leaders have to making
the Triduum liturgies—especially the Easter Vigil—the summit of
the liturgical year.
The Triduum Book is an updating of The Holy Week Book.
Some of the more durable material remains. Much of the material is
new—but not really new. In the tradition of its predecessor, The
Triduum Book reproduces and makes more accessible some of the
best material from other sources from within the archives of Resource
Publications, Inc.
At the time The Holy Week Book was compiled, the premier
liturgical resource at RPI was Modern Liturgy. While ML remains the
flagship of the company, pastoral leaders also have available to them
several other liturgical products to assist them in their ministry. The
Triduum Book draws on ML as well as Liturgy Plus, Celebrating the
Lectionary, some of RPI’s storytelling books and some of the
liturgical music resources in the RPI catalog. And, of course, the best of
The Holy Week Book is included here. This is a practical resource,
designed to give you hands-on suggestions you can implement in your
parish. It is also an imaginative resource, designed to spur your own
creative ideas. Most of all, it is a ministerial resource, designed to assist you
in prayerfully worshiping the God of mystery, revealed in our celebration of
the death and resurrection of his son, Jesus Christ.
May your parish community have a more fruitful, awe-filled, and joyful
Triduum.
