Feast
Mass of the feast. Gloria, Preface of the priesthood of Christ and of the Church. [In the Universal Calendar, this feast was celebrated last Thursday, on the Thursday after Pentecost, to mark an octave before Corpus Christi, but since Corpus Christi is transferred to this coming Sunday, in SACBC territories only, the feast is moved a week later, to the Thursday after the Most Holy Trinity, to commence a triduum leading to Corpus Christi. In non-SACBC territories, the Feria from Ordinary Time should be used as above.]
