FEAST OF THE MOST HOLY SHROUD

In aliquibus locis, the Friday after the Second Sunday of Lent was celebrated as the feast of the Most Holy Shroud of Our Lord Jesus Christ, in which he was wound in the Holy Sepulchre, and upon which the image of His sacred and wounded Body may be seen.

COLLECT

O GOD, who hast left unto us a token of thy Passion in the holy Shroud, in which Thy most holy body was wrapped by Joseph when taken down from the Cross : mercifully grant, that by Thy death and burial, we may be led unto the glory of the Resurrection. Who livest and reignest with the God the Father in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.
