Roman Missal (1962): Feria III of Holy Week
Offertory
(Ps 139:5)
Keep me, O Lord, from the hand of the wicked: and from unjust men deliver me.
Secret
May these sacrifices, we beseech thee, O Lord, which are observed along with health-giving fasts, speedily restore us.
Through our Lord…
Preface
(Holy Cross)
It is truly meet and just, right and for our salvation, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; Who didst establish the salvation of mankind on the tree of the Cross; that whence death came, thence also life might arise again, and that he, who overcame by the tree, by the tree also might be overcome: Through Christ our Lord. Through whom the Angels praise Thy Majesty, the Dominations worship it, the Powers stand in awe. The Heavens and the heavenly hosts together with the blessed Seraphim in triumphant chorus unite to celebrate it. Together with these we entreat Thee that Thou mayest bid our voices also to be admitted while we say with lowly praise:
Communion
(Ps 68:13-14)
They that sat in the gate spoke against me: and they that drank wine made me their song. But as for me, my prayer is to thee, O Lord; for the time of thy good pleasure, O God. In the multitude of thy mercy hear me.
Postcommunion
By thy holy mysteries, almighty God, may our vices be cured, and everlasting healing be granted to us.
Through our Lord…
