The 1961 rubrics define the first Sunday of the months August to November as the first Sunday actually falling within those months. So this year the first Sunday of September 1962 style was the 5th - hence the Ember Days fall a week later.
Thank you for the answer. I thought their place is the wednesday, friday and saturday immediately after Exaltation of the Holy Cross, irrespective of the Sundays.
Yes, you are correct but that only works for pre-1961 rubrics. With 1962 rubrics it is Wednesday, Friday and Saturday of the first full week after the feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
The Saint Lawrence Press is dedicated to the preservation of the classical Roman Liturgy and seeks especially to raise awareness of the process of liturgical reform before the Second Vatican Council. To meet these aims the Saint Lawrence Press publishes an Ordo Recitandi, in Latin, modelled on those produced in Rome in the middle of the last century before the unpleasant,
unfortunate, and damaging, changes of the 1950's and early 1960's.
The Ordo Recitandi contains the necessary information enabling those who wish to celebrate the traditional Divine Office and Mass to identify those variable parts for every day in the Liturgical year.
To order a copy of the Ordo Recitandi please visit our homepage by following the link below.

Why is "Fidekium" prescribed for September 13? Isn't that only the first feria of the month?
Because it is a Monday. Vide: Additiones et Variationes III, 3.
Is it known, why is it a week later in the 1962 Missal?
