The thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost is of semi-double rite and its liturgical colour is green. This year it is the fourth Sunday of August. The Gospel pericopes from St. Luke's Gospel tell of the LORD and the ten lepers, only one of which thanked Him for being healed. The Vigil of St. Bartholomew the Apostle was anticipated yesterday.
At Vespers yesterday afternoon the antiphons and psalms of Saturday were sung. The Office hymn was Jam sol recedit igneus. The antiphon on the Magnificat was Sapientia for the Saturday before the fourth Sunday of August. After the collect of the Sunday commemorations were sung of the preceding Octave Day of the Assumption and of St. Philip Benizi. The Suffrage of the Saints was omitted. At Compline Te lucis was sung with the Doxology and melody of the Incarnation and the Dominical preces were omitted.
At Mattins the invitatory is Dominum qui fecit nos and the Office hymn isNocte surgentes. In the first nocturn the lessons are the Incipit of the Book of Ecclesiasticus. In the second nocturn the lessons are taken from the Book of Morals by St. Gregory the Great and in the third nocturn the homily on St. Luke's Gospel is from St. Augustine. The Te Deum is sung. At Lauds the Office hymn is Ecce jam noctis. After the collect of the Sunday a commemoration is sung of St. Philip Benizi. The Suffrage of the Saints is omitted due to the occurring double feast.
At Prime (Pss. 117, 118i & 118ii) both Quicumque and the Dominical preces are omitted.
Mass is sung after Terce. The Gloria is sung, the second collect is of St. Philip Benizi. Today there is no third collect. The Creed is sung and the preface is of the Holy Trinity.
At Vespers there is a colour change to red and first Vespers of St. Bartholomew the Apostle are sung. The antiphons Hoc est praeceptum meum etc are sung, doubled, with the psalms of first Vespers from the Common Apostles (Pss. 109, 110, 111, 112 & 116). The Office hymn is Exsultet orbis gaudiis. After the collect of the feast commemorations are sung of the Sunday and of St. Philip Benizi. The Suffrage is omitted as are the Dominical preces at Compline.
In the 'liturgical books of 1962' Vespers are second Vespers of the feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary with a commemoration of the Sunday but not of St. Philip Benizi. Mattins has a single nocturn of three lessons. At Lauds there are no commemorations. At Mass there is a single collect. Vespers are of the Sunday without any commemorations.

I was a bit surprised when the ordo and the website did not celebrate the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary. I recall you mentioning that you follow the calendar before 1950, but I don't recall you setting a "final" year.
ReplyDeleteCan you elaborate on why you didn't include this Marian feast?
Thanks,
John
The Ordo follows the fifth edition after the typical of the Roman Missal that was published in 1939.
ReplyDeleteAn Octave-Day far preferable IMHO.
Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI do note that you include Pope Saint Pius X as an option--the only one I saw in the ordo. Since he wasn't canonized until the '50s, it would have to be an option if you are based on the 1939 edition.
I have not really looked at the text for the Immaculate Heart, so I don't have an opinion (unlike the Assumption texts!).
Thanks for the details,
John
There'll always be an octave where there's a country lane.
