The Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ Eternal High Priest

[JackFrost]

Some time ago, the Holy See gave episcopal conferences the possibility of introducing into their particular calendars the liturgical observance of the feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ Eternal High Priest on the Thursday after Pentecost.

The Catholic Bishops’ Conference of England and Wales took up that option .

In England and Wales today is the Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ Eternal High Priest

Thank you. I did not know about this.

I see that the Collect of the Feast is proper; that is, it is not the collect of the Votive Mass.

O God, who for the glory of your majesty
and the salvation of the human race,
made your Only Begotten Son the Eternal High Priest,
grant that, through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit,
those whom he has chosen as ministers and stewards of his mysteries
may be found faithful in carrying out the ministry they have received.
Through our Lord…

(Collect, Feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest)

O God, who for your glory
and the salvation of the human race
willed to establish Christ as the eternal High Priest,
grant that the people he has gained for you by his Blood
may, through their participation in his memorial,
experience the power of his Cross and Resurrection.
Through our Lord…

(Collect, Votive Mass of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Eternal High Priest)
