Christ rose from the dead and raised man from the depths of the tomb. Here on this Holy Thursday, to Christ be all glory and honor and power.
We have begun the Triduum, the holiest time of the year.
During the Triduum, our Tenebrae liturgy (below) will replace our regular morning prayer. Please note, too, that our table reading has concluded. We encourage you to attend the Mass of the Lord's Supper this evening at your parish, or at a church nearby.

The Abbot's Circle is a first-of-its-kind virtual monastery—an evolving, curated library that offers an inside look at the artistic, cultural, intellectual, and spiritual work that the Norbertines of St. Michael’s Abbey carry out each day for the praise and honor of God.
Hidden in the stillness of southern California’s desert mountains, St. Michael’s Abbey goes about a timeless and supernatural mission: the common worship of God. This is a place for all to encounter the unfathomable beauty of God and to enter into the mystery of His unrelenting love.
Against a culture in ever desperate need for beauty, St. Michael’s Abbey stands as a refuge for reverent liturgy, inspiring art, and captivating sacred music and chant. Through our work, we are laying the foundation for the sanctification of our society and a renewal in our Church.
