The second Sunday after the Epiphany is of semi-double rite and its liturgical colour is green. The Gospel pericopes at Mattins and Mass are from St. John's account of the Marriage Feast at Cana.
At Vespers yesterday afternoon the antiphons and psalms of Saturday were sung. The Office hymn was Jam sol recedit igneus. The antiphon on the Magnificat was Suscepit Deus which will be used on all Saturdays when Vespers are of the Sunday until Septuagesima. After the collect of the Sunday commemorations were sung of the preceding Office of St. Anthony the Abbot, of the Chair of St. Peter at Rome, of St. Paul the Apostle and of St. Prisca. The Suffrage was omitted as were the Dominical preces at Compline.
At Mattins the invitatory is Adoremus Dominum and this will be sung until Septuagesima. The Office hymn is Primo die and this will be sung at Sunday Mattins until the first Sunday in Lent. In the first nocturn the lessons are the Incipit of the Second Epistle to the Corinthians. In the second nocturn a sermon of St. Chrysostom provides the lessons and, in the third nocturn, the homily is from St. Augustine. The Te Deum is sung. At Lauds the Office hymn is Aeterne and that too is sung at Sunday Lauds until the first Sunday of Lent. After the collect of the Sunday commemorations are sung of the Chair of St. Peter, of St. Paul and of St. Prisca. The Suffrage of the Saints is omitted.
At Prime, Pss 117, 118(i) & 118(ii) both Quicumque and the Dominical preces are omitted.
At Mass the Gloria is sung, the second collect is of the Chair of St. Peter, the third collect is of St. Paul, and the fourth collect of St. Prisca. The Creed is sung, the preface is of the Blessed Trinity and the last Gospel is that appointed for the feast of the Chair of St. Peter at Rome.
At Vespers the antiphons and psalms of Sunday are sung. The Office hymn is Lucis creator. After the collect of the Sunday commemorations are sung of the following feast of SS Marius, Martha, Audifax, & Abachum, of the Chair of St. Peter, of St. Paul and of St. Canute. The Suffrage is omitted as are the Dominical preces.
In the 'liturgical books of 1962' the feast of the Chair of St. Peter at Rome has been abolished. There are no commemorations at either Vespers. Mattins is reduced to a single nocturn of three lessons. There are no commemorations at Lauds. At Mass there is a single collect.

What would be the logic behind not having a proper 9th lesson yet having a proper last gospel?
The 3rd Sunday of January in our country is the Feast of the Holy Child. In the current ranking of feasts, it has the rank of Feast, not a Solemnity. I would like to ask what rank it would be based on the DA rubrics? And what commemorations will it have? Since this coming Sunday is the Second Sunday after Epiphany, with the Commemoration of the Chair of St. Peter in Rome(2nd Or: St. Peter; 3rd Or: St. Paul; 4th Or: St. Prisca)
Thank you.
Andre,
The Divino afflatu rubrics do allow for a ninth lesson on a Sunday.
Anonymous,
You would have to find out what rank the feast was from previous diocesan calendars, year books or ordines. It would have to have a rank of greater-double, or higher, to outrank the Sunday in the DA rubrics. The commemorations would be affected by its rank.
