Turin’s Cathedral will be making the image of its Holy Shroud available through television and social media channels on Holy Saturday.
Traditionally, one receives the Sacrament of Reconciliation during Holy Week. During this time, it is impossible for most of us to do so.
This resource has been provided to help us celebrate the most sacred days of our liturgical year – the Triduum. For each day, Holy Thursday, Good Friday, and the Easter Vigil, there is a leader’s guide, in PDF format. Open the file in your computer, tablet (iPad), or smart phone (iPhone); it could be easier to facilitate the prayer if you print out the guide for each day. It is suggested that the leader familiarize themselves with the guide to be prepared to lead the prayer.
These prayers were prepared and used for the CCVI Holy Week Retreat for our Jubilee Year, 2019. They were a source of unity and solidarity for us as we prayed our retreat together. They are provided here as a resource for our Holy Week prayer this year; may they bring all who pray them into our community of prayer and concern.

An invitation from the International Union of Superiors General to a day of solidarity and prayer: “Now is the time for each one of us to respond to the worldwide coronavirus crisis by being in solidarity with others, especially with those who are most vulnerable and most at risk. It is the time to follow the directives provided by the World Health Organization and our respective governments.
May we who are merely inconvenienced
Remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors
Remember those most vulnerable.
