Feast of the Prayer of Christ
† Catholic_Encyclopedia ► Feast of the Prayer of Christ
This feast occurs on the Tuesday after
Septuagesima (double major). Its object is to commemorate the prolonged
prayer which
Christ offered in Gethsemane in our behalf in preparation for His Sacred Passion. The Office insists on the great importance of
prayer. The feast is placed at the beginning of
Lent to remind us that the penitential season is above all a time of
prayer. The Office probably was composed by Bishop Struzzieri of
Todi, at the suggestion of
St. Paul of the Cross (d. 1775), and, together with the other six offices by which the mysteries of Christ's Passion are celebrated (
see FEAST OF THE PASSION OF CHRIST), was approved by
Pius VI. The hymns were composed by Fatati (Schulte, "Hymnen des röm. Brev."). Outside the Congregation of St. Paul this feast was adopted later than any of the other feasts of the Passion. It is not found in the
proprium of Salerno (1793) nor in that of Livorno (1809). Other dioceses took it up only after the city of
Rome had adopted it (1831). It has not yet been inserted in the Baltimore Ordo.
