The sixth Sunday after Pentecost is of semi-double rite and its liturgical colour is green. The Gospel pericopes from St. Mark's Gospel describe the Feeding of the Four Thousand with seven loaves and fishes. This year it is also the Sunday within the Octave of SS Peter and Paul.
At Vespers yesterday afternoon the antiphons and psalms of Saturday were sung. The Office hymn was Jam sol recedit igneus. After the collect of the Sunday commemorations were sung of the preceding Office of the sixth day within the Octave of SS Peter and Paul and of St. Antony Mary Zaccaria. The Suffrage of the Saints was omitted due to the double feast and Octave. At Compline the Dominical preces were omitted for the same reason.
At Mattins the invitatory is Dominum qui fecit nos, Venite adoremus and the Office hymn is Nocte surgentes vigilemus omnes. In the first nocturn the lessons are from the twelfth chapter of the Second Book of the Kings. In the second nocturn the lessons are taken from St. Ambrose's Defence of David. Again, St. Ambrose provides the homily in the third nocturn on St. Mark's Gospel. The Te Deum is sung. At Lauds, following the collect of the Sunday commemorations are sung of St. Antony Mary Zaccaria and of the Octave of SS Peter and Paul. The Suffrage is omitted due to the occurring double feast and Octave.
At Prime psalms 117, 118i & 118ii are sung. Both Quicumque and the Dominical preces are omitted.
Mass is sung after Terce. The Gloria is sung, the second collect is of St. Antony Mary Zaccaria, the third collect is of the Octave of SS Peter and Paul. The Creed is sung and the preface is of the Blessed Trinity.
All Masses, except the Conventual Mass, may be of the Precious Blood. The Mass Redemisti nos is sung in red vestments with Gloria and Creed. The preface is of the Cross. A commemoration of the Sunday is sung and the last Gospel of the Sunday.
At Vespers the antiphons and psalms of Sunday (Pss. 109, 110, 111, 112 & 113). The Office hymn is Lucis creator. After the collect of the Sunday commemorations are sung of the Octave Day of SS Peter and Paul and of St. Antony Mary Zaccaria. The Suffrage is omitted as are the Dominical preces at Compline.
In the 'liturgical books of 1962' there are no commemorations at either Vespers. Mattins is reduced to a single nocturn of three lessons. There are no commemorations at Lauds. Mass has a single collect.

Off topic. Was the late Ronald Warwick (RIP) who died recently connected with St Lawrence Press?
Anonymous,
Yes, Ronald was a director of the company and a much valued friend of long-standing. Without his efforts and those of his wife the Ordo would have been lost when the $$PX changed to the 1962 books in 1983.
