Mass of the Lord's Supper to be present by God. The Mass of the Lord's Supper is the Catholic Mass celebrated on the evening of Holy Thursday. It inaugurates the Easter Triduum,〔(General Norms for the Liturgical Year and the Calendar, 19 )〕 and commemorates the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples, more explicitly than other celebrations of the Mass. Many Anglican churches celebrate the Mass of the Lord's Supper (or the Proper Liturgy of Maundy Thursday). Depending on the jurisdiction, these rites are found in the Book of Common Prayer,〔(Proper Liturgy for Maundy Thursday, 1979 (American) Book of Common Prayer )〕 the Anglican Missal〔(The Anglican Missal ), pp. B44-B59〕 or an alternative service book. The Mass stresses three aspects of that event: "the institution of the Eucharist, the institution of the priesthood, and the commandment of brotherly love that Jesus gave after washing the feet of his disciples."〔(Holy Thursday Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper ), 45〕 ==Structure== The Mass begins as usual, with the exception that the tabernacle, wherever placed, should be empty.〔Holy Thursday Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, 48〕 In the 1962 Missal (Roman rite), although white vestments and the Gloria in Excelsis are used, this is still Passiontide, so the "Judica me" is omitted at the foot of the altar, the "Gloria Patri" in the Introit and at the end of the Lavabo is omitted, and the Preface of the Cross is used. (The crucifixes, which have been covered during Passiontide, can today be covered with white instead of with violet.) At the singing of the Gloria in Excelsis Deo, all the church bells may be rung; afterwards, they (along with the organ) are silenced until the Gloria of the Easter Vigil.〔Holy Thursday Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, 50〕 The Liturgy of the Word consists of the following readings: *Exodus 12:1-8, 11-14, a description of the original Passover celebration.〔 and 〕 *Psalm 115 (116), thanksgiving for being saved〔 and 〕 *, Paul the Apostle's account of what Jesus did at his Last Supper *, John the Evangelist's account of how Jesus washed his disciples' feet before that meal as an example of how they should treat each other. After the homily, which should explain the three aspects of the celebration mentioned above,〔Holy Thursday Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, 45〕 the priest who is celebrating the Mass removes his chasuble, puts on a linen gremiale (an amice is often used for this purpose), and proceeds to wash the feet of a number of people (usually twelve, corresponding to the number of the Apostles)〔Holy Thursday Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, 51〕 There are special formulas in the Eucharistic Prayer to recall that the Mass of the Lord's Supper is in commemoration of Jesus' Last Supper. Sufficient hosts are consecrated for the faithful to receive Communion both at that Mass and on the next day, Good Friday. The hosts intended for the Good Friday service are not placed in the tabernacle, as is usual, but are left on the altar, while the priests says the postcommunion prayer.〔Missale Romanum, Feria V in Cena Domini, 35-36〕 Then the priest incenses the Blessed Sacrament three times and, taking a humeral veil with which to hold it, carries it in solemn procession to a place of reservation somewhere in the church or in an appropriately adorned chapel.〔Missale Romanum, Feria V in Cena Domini, 37-38〕 The procession is led by a cross-bearer accompanied by two servers with lit candles; other servers with lit candles follow and a thurifer immediately precedes the priest.〔Missale Romanum, Feria V in Cena Domini, 38〕 On arrival at the altar of repose, the priest places the vessel with the Blessed Sacrament in the tabernacle there, leaving the door open. He then incenses it and closes the tabernacle door. After a period of adoration, he and the servers depart in silence.〔Missale Romanum, Feria V in Cena Domini, 39-40〕 The continuation of Eucharistic adoration is encouraged, but if continued after midnight should be done without outward solemnity.〔Missale Romanum, Feria V in Cena Domini, 43〕〔Holy Thursday Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper, 56〕 In the Philippines and several other Catholic countries, the faithful will travel from church to church praying at each church's altar of repose in a practice known as Seven Churches Visitation or Visita Iglesia. The Blessed Sacrament remains in the temporary place until the Holy Communion part of the Good Friday liturgical service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mass of the Lord's Supper」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
