    Additional Short Preface  
     
    The Holy Cross
    And now we give you thanks
    because for our sins he was lifted high upon the cross,
    that he might draw the whole world to himself;
    and, by his suffering and death,
    became the source of eternal salvation
          for all who put their trust in him.
     
    This Preface can also be used on 14 September.
