Latin Mass Readings for Palm Sunday

This site, The Tridentine Latin Rite Missal Project, carries the readings for the Latin Mass according to the 1955 Missal. I have checked the Blessing of Palms according to the new Baronius "Summorum Pontificum Missal" used by the F.S.S.P. and these readings vary greatly from those in the older Missal. I would stick with a written Missal for guidance.

With regard to the Palm Sunday Mass itself, the Introit, Collect, Epistle, Tract, etc. appear to be identical to the Baronius Missal (although I cannot vouch for precise translations as I did not check word for word). One big change in the Summorum Pontificum approved 1962 Missale Romanum is that the Passion of Saint Matthew is shortened to 26.: 36-75; 27.: 1-66. The 1955 version begins at Matthew 26: 1-75 so is far longer.

Check Fr. Zuhlsdorf's blog to hear the Passionale which he has on MP3. It is glorious!
