The nineteenth Sunday after Pentecost is of semi-double rite and its liturgical colour is green. This year it is the third Sunday of October. The Gospel pericopes contain the parable of the wedding feast from St. Matthew's Gospel with the sobering concluding words of the LORD Multi enim sunt vocati, pauci vero electi.
At Vespers yesterday afternoon the antiphons and psalms of Saturday were sung. The Office hymn was Jam sol recedit igneus. The antiphon on the Magnifcat was Lugebat autem Judam for the Saturday before the third Sunday of October. After the collect of the Sunday commemorations were sung of the preceding Office of St, Teresa and of St. Hedwig. The Suffrage of the Saints was omitted as were the Dominical preces at Compline.
At Mattins the invitatory is Adoremus Dominum and the Office hymn is Primo die. In the first nocturn the lessons continue to be read from the first book of Machabees. In the second nocturn the lessons are taken from the book of St. Ambrose's Book of Offices. In the third nocturn the homily is from St. Gregory on St. Matthew's Gospel. At Lauds the Office hymn is Aeterne rerum. After the collect of the Sunday a commemoration of St. Hedwig is sung followed by the Suffrage of the Saints.
At Prime (Pss. 117, 118i & 118ii) both Quicumque and the Dominical preces are sung.
Mass is sung after Terce. The Gloria is sung, the second collect is of St. Hedwig, the third collect is A cunctis. The Creed is sung and the the preface of the Blessed Trinity.
Vespers are of the Sunday (Pss. 109, 110, 111, 112 & 113). The Office hymn is Lucis creator. After the collect of the Sunday commemorations are sung of the following Office of St. Margaret Mary and of St. Hedwig. The Suffrage of the Saints is omitted as are the Dominical preces at Compline.
In the 'liturgical books of 1962' there are no commemorations at either Vespers. Mattins is cut down to a single nocturn of three lessons. Quiqumque is said only once a year and the Domninical preces have been abolished. At Lauds there are no commemorations. At Mass there is but one collect.

Hello Rubricarius, I had some questions :
ReplyDeleteThe ferial hymn for friday is almost always omitted ? I can only think of september friday ember day as an exception
When it comes to the rubrics of 1960, there are basically only two or three tones for the little hours hymns, proper doxologies having been removed ?
Thank you
Or when there is a vigil on Saturday
DeleteI meant the ferial hymn per annum of course. Same question for saturday matins and lauds ferial hymn.
ReplyDelete@Andrew,
ReplyDeleteI am sorry but I don't have time to check at the moment. I have had my father in hospital again, this time with a fractured hip, and he came home this week taking up most of my time.
@Joël,
Agreed, the only time would be the September Ember Friday and Saturday otherwise the Office of BVM on Saturdays would take precedence.
WRT to tones there are fewer in the '62 books but as I replied to Andrew, above, I cannot check at the moment.
Dear Rubricarius,
ReplyDeletePrayers for you and your father!
With respect to Joel's question regarding the very rare ferial Vespers of Friday per annum, is it not also the case that the ferial Vespers would be said whenever the Friday is a feria or a simplex feast, and the Saturday is a Vigil? For example, if October 27 (Vigil of Ss Simon and Jude) were a Saturday, the preceding day (Friday) would be the simple feast of St Evaristus. That feast would end a None and the Vigil would outrank St Mary on the Sabbath, but the office of the Vigil would not begin until Matins, so presumably Vespers on the Friday would be of the feria - a rare occurrence indeed. Sad how the 1962 rite bulldozes all this.
@Paulus & Peter,
ReplyDeleteYes, I had not thought of that case.
