Extraordinary Form

Good Friday

On 5 February the Holy See issued a new prayer text to replace the Intercession in the Good Friday Liturgy ‘for the Jewish people’ for use in celebrations of the Extraordinary form of the Roman Rite.

Oremus et pro Iudaeis.

Ut Deus et Dominus noster illuminet corda eorum,

et agnoscant Iesum Christum salvatorem omnium hominum.

Oremus. Flectamus genua.

Levate.

Omnipotens sempiterne Deus,

qui vis ut omnes homines salvi fiant

et ad agnitionem veritatis veniant,

concede propitius,

ut plenitudine gentium in Ecclesiam Tuam

intrante omnis Israel salvus fiat.

Per Christum Dominum nostrum.

Amen

A reading of the text in English could be:

Let us pray for the Jewish people.

May the Lord Our God enlighten their hearts

so that they may acknowledge Jesus Christ,

the saviour of all men.

Let us pray. Let us kneel.

Arise.

Almighty and everlasting God,

you who want all men to be saved

and to reach the awareness of the truth,

graciously grant that,

with the fullness of peoples entering into your church,

all Israel may be saved.

Through Christ our Lord.

Amen.
