 Sunday of the Passion: Palm Sunday

Almighty and everlasting God, who, of thy tender love towards mankind, hast sent thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ  to take upon him our flesh, and to suffer death upon the  cross, that all mankind should follow the example of his  great humility: Mercifully grant that we may both follow the  example of his patience, and also be made partakers of his  resurrection; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who  liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God,  for ever and ever. Amen.

Preface of Holy Week

Monday in Holy Week

Almighty God, whose most dear Son went not up to joy but first he suffered pain, and entered not into glory before he  was crucified: Mercifully grant that we, walking in the way  of the cross, may find it none other than the way of life and  peace; through the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who  liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God,  for ever and ever. Amen.

Tuesday in Holy Week

O God, who by the passion of thy blessed Son didst make an instrument of shameful death to be unto us the means of life:  Grant us so to glory in the cross of Christ, that we may gladly  suffer shame and loss for the sake of thy Son our Savior Jesus  Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit,  one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
