Hi!
I have taught on the Mass in a way that I haven’t heard anyone else talk about before, so I wanted to check myself before I continue.

Would it be correct to say that each Mass is the Last Supper, the Passion, the Crucifixion and the Resurrection? (and maybe the Ascension since the Passion -Ascension is really one movement of Salvation?)

I have also thought about each Mass being each day of the Triduum: Holy Thursday, Good Friday and Easter at each Mass. Is this a correct way to help people remember what is happening spiritually at each Mass?

Thank you!

That sounds like a great way to express the Paschal Mystery! It could be a wonderfl way to connect the ritual to the life of Jesus.

How do you envision this? I would be interested in more details of how these appear to you.

(Oh, and Pentecost too)
 
Yes! That’s how the Church describes the Triduum - one continuous Mass. Very valid comparison.
