I found the answer to the letters in parentheses which refer to psalms. And I guess § means suffragium sanctorum and X stands for any colour of some votive Mass?
Well one needs to look at the explanation of symbols etc on pp 15-16 of The Ordo. Well done for working most of them out! 'X' in the right column indicates a private Requiem Mass and, outside of Lent, a private Votive Mass may be celebrated.
Unfortunately I don't have the time to write these posts so pasted the text of the week into a PDF then made an image file of it.
This Saturday September 13, should the Mass be the generic seasonal Mass of Our Lady on Saturday, or should it be the Mass of the Nativity of Our Lady because of the Octave?
Thank you! I misspoke when I referred to last Saturday as September 13, when it was in fact September 11, but I suppose the same thing applies whenever September 9, 11 or 13 falls on a Saturday: the "Saturday of Our Lady" on that day in fact takes the Mass on the Nativity BVM, correct?
What do the letters in parentheses (fff, ff and so on) mean?
ReplyDeleteAnd §?
ReplyDeleteAnd X in the colour column?
