For the use of small parishes, where it is impossible to carry out the full rites and ceremonies of Holy Week, Benedict XIII had a small Ritual compiled, the Memoriale Rituum, which enables such parishes to have very simple services on the days of Holy Week. In churches, therefore, where there is only one priest, he is obliged to follow this small Ritual of Benedict XIII, if he wishes to hold services on the three last days of Holy Week. The following pages contain the directions laid down in this small Ritual by Benedict XIII. Under the head of Maundy Thursday are also given the conditions under which it is allowed to say a Low Mass on that day.

The Venerable Pope Pius XII issued his restored order for Holy Week in the 1950's. To help priests in parishes to celebrate these intricate and beautiful ceremonies of Classic Roman Rite during this most sacred week of the liturgical year, Rev. Frederick R. McManus wrote a marvelous guide to the restored order of Holy Week in 1956 entitled "Rites of Holy Week." For the parish or chapel wanting to offer the ceremonies of Holy Week with the 1962 Missale Romanum (Extraordinary Form), this will be an indispensable guide to help the clergy and altar boys accurately rehearse the ceremonies, the sacristan to attend the needs of the sanctuary, sacristy and church, and the musicians toprepare the proper liturgical music."
