At Vespers of Pentecost XXI on 2 November this year, is there a commemoration of the Octave of All Saints? The Ordo mentions a commemoration at Lauds and Mass but not at Vespers. Is this an accidental omission? And although the Sunday Vespers are semidouble, the following Vespers of the Dead (that is, of All Souls) are double?
Peter, Thank you for spotting that. Yes, it is an omission - the Octave is commemorated at Vespers on Sunday. The Sunday is indeed semidouble and All Souls' Day double in the post-1911 scheme!
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.
