Dominican Rite Holy Week Missal (1960) Reprinted

Dominican Liturgy Publications is pleased to announce that the Ordo Hebdomadæ Sanctæ iuxta Ritum Ordinis Prædicatorum for the Dominican Rite, published in 1960, is now available in reprint. This volume is actually a complete Holy Week Missal for the traditional Dominican Rite. All musical texts needed by the priest and deacon for the solemn service are included, except the music for the Passions.  The three deacons singing the Passion on Palm Sunday (Matthew), Holy Week Tuesday (Mark), Holy Week Wednesday (Luke) and Good Friday (John) will each need a copy of the Cantus Passionis, also published by Dominican Liturgy Publications.

This Missal includes the Solemn Liturgy of the Passion for Good Friday and the reformed Easter Vigil. Those celebrating the Dominican Rite according to the rubrics of 1962 should use this book rather than the Missal of 1933.

It incorporates all the changes and reforms of Holy Week instituted during the reforms of the 1950s. The text is in full color with red rubrics. The volume is a photographic reproduction of the original using high-quality scans and in hardback (casebound). Purchasers should, however, check the preview to make sure they are satisfied with the quality before ordering. This volume does not include ribbons or Missal tabs; purchasers will have to provide these for themselves.

If you order this Missal now, you should have no trouble having it arrive well before Palm Sunday (April 14), the first Mass included in it.
