MISSAL READINGS FOR THIS SUNDAY  

Palm Sunday
“Dominica II Passiones Seu In Palmis”

Resources & Instructions for Pre-Mass ceremonies are HERE. You can also download this Pre-1955 trashy Draft Booklet which is a very rough draft. Musicians will want to carefully study this 1957 guide by Solesmes.

Those with permission to use Pre-1955 will find In Monte Olivéti useful; and also this Sheet for singing outside/inside the Church with 1934 rubrics from Liber Usualis.
