What is the reason for the Prayer "Fidelium" at Mass on Monday, February 20? I thought this prayer was used outside of Advent and Lent on the first free feria of the month (which was February 13 this month) and also on ferial Mondays of Advent and Lent. Is it actually used also on all ferial Mondays of Septuagesima as well as Lent?
I suppose I may have been mixing up the days when "Fidelium" is said with the days when Pius V recommended adding the Office of the Dead (I guess these scenarios overlap but do no entirely coincide).
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.

@Peter,
Outside of November, Advent, Lent & Paschaltide Fidelium is said on the first 'free' day of each month.
Outside Lent and Paschaltide it is also said on 'free' Mondays.
Dear Rubricarius,
Thank you for that explanation. I also came across this older post of yours, which was helpful:
