First Thursdays at Mater Dei
~Pope Pius XI, 20 December 1935, end of his encyclical called Ad catholici Sacerdotii (click):
“We wish to perpetuate the memory and the glory of that Priesthood, of which that of all priests of Christ is but a participation and continuation… We have thought it opportune, after consulting the Sacred Congregation of Rites, to prepare a special votive Mass, for Thursdays, according to liturgical rules: to honour “Jesus Christ, Supreme and Eternal Priest.” It is Our pleasure and consolation to publish this Mass together with this, Our Encyclical Letter.” (91)
Therefore, in keeping with the spirit of Pope Pius’ initiative, the Jesus Christ the High Priest Votive Mass will be offered (as the Ordo permits) on the first Thursday of every month.
