DR Squared: Day--Night Twinbill

Traditionally, the Chrism Mass and Evening Mass of the Lord's Supper are celebrated on the same day. For pastoral and practical reasons, however, many diocese opt to celebrate the Chrism Mass at another time. In the Diocese of Salt Lake, it is done the Thursday before Palm Sunday, so as to at least keep some of the symbolism. If you have not had the opportunity, I strongly encourage you to assist at this, as I did in 2012.

Nevertheless, and in keeping with the calendar, I will present the readings from both Masses today.

Consider it priming the pump for the Sacred Triduum.
