Good to hear from you. Thank you for that in...XH,<br /><br />Good to hear from you. Thank you for that interesting information. I should have added that the fourth antiphon is <i>Exspectetur</i>. <br /><br />By pure coincidene I received an email on Saturday from a lady who uses the old Roman Breviary who needed a little clarification as to which set of antiphons to use.<br /><br />I have a two-part article on the 1911-13 reform appearing in the journal 'Usus Antiquior': the first part appears in the next edition; the second part is still at the on the backs of envelopes stage, so I need to type away.<br /><br />Wishing you, XH, the compliments of the season and every blessing from the Lord's Nativity.Rubricariushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05050302650867319277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669950994040167422.post-64295161409368474972010-12-20T00:20:27.176+00:002010-12-20T00:20:27.176+00:00Hello:

The Monastic Breviary has retained this rubric with its own rubrical peculiarities. On the Sabbath before the Vigil of Christmas, the Antiphon <i>Exspectetur</i> replaced the 3rd and 4th Antiphons of the Ferial Office displaced by the Feast of Saint Thomas. This was because the Canticle of Deuteronomy was parted into two divisions as directed by the Holy Rule (cap. xiii.). If memory serves aright, the above-mentioned Antiphon only replaced the 4th Antiphon in the old Roman Breviary.<br /><br />The centenary of <i>Divino afflatu</i> falls next year. How are you to celebrate?Xenophobic hobbledehoynoreply@blogger.com
