 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 Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives  and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever  and ever. Amen.

Preface of Holy Week

Tuesday in Holy Week

O God, by the passion of your blessed Son you made an instrument of shameful death to be for 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 your Son our Savior  Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy  Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Preface of Holy Week

Wednesday in Holy Week

Lord God, whose blessed Son our Savior gave his body to be whipped and his face to be spit upon: Give us grace to accept  joyfully the sufferings of the present time, confident of the  glory that shall be revealed; through Jesus Christ your Son our  Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one  God, for ever and ever. Amen.
