Drew,<br /><br />In the case of SS Mary Magdalen and Martha it is because the Gospel pericope in their respective Masses is considered as strictly proper because they describe the event of the woman annointing the Lord's feet (22nd July) and Martha is named in the text (29th July). In both cases it has nothing to do with the respective rank of the feasts. Another example would be the feast of the Holy Innocents - though that is rarely going to be commemorated in another celebration. The dignity of persons however does apply to feast of the LORD, the BVM (hence tomorrow's last Gospel), the Angels, St. John the Baptist, St. Joseph and the Apostles. If one of their feasts is commemorated its Gospel is read as the last Gospel of the day (unless the text of the Gospel of the day is identical).<br /><br />Sundays, the ferial days of Lent, Ember Days, Vigils etc have their Gospel read as the last Gospel on feasts which out-rank them.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669950994040167422.post-69571340494929879372012-08-03T19:05:25.591+00:002012-08-03T19:05:25.591+00:00Can you please explain the how it is determined wh...Can you please explain the how it is determined when a feast is commemorated on a regular Sunday whether the Last Gospel is replaced by the gospel of the commemorated feast? For example, on this Sunday, the Last Gospel is replaced by the gospel reading from the feast of St. Martha, a semi-double feast. Last Sunday, the same thing occurred with the feast of St. Mary Magdalen which is a double feast and next week with the feast of the Dedication of the Church of Our Lady of the Snows. In the following weeks St. Clare of Assisi and St. John Eudes will be commemorated but the gospels will not replace the regular Last Gospel. Why is this so?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />D. M. DrewD.
