NOTE: [1] Plenary indulgence for the faithful who publicly pray the Act of Dedication of the Human Race to Christ the King (EI 2). This prayer should be led by a priest or another suitable person outside of the Mass, and not within the liturgy. [2] Where customary, a procession may fittingly take place to honour Christ the King. If the procession is Eucharistic in character, and held after a Mass, the Host to be carried in the procession is consecrated during that Mass. After Communion, the monstrance in which the consecrated Host has been placed is set on the altar. When the Prayer after Communion has been said, the Concluding Rites are omitted and the procession forms. The priest wears a cope for a procession: if the procession takes place immediately after Mass, he may retain the chasuble.

A plenary indulgence is granted to the faithful who, on days universally designated to foster certain religious intentions, piously assist at celebrations of this kind (EI 5)


HOLY DAYS OF OBLIGATION on which the faithful are obliged to participate in the celebration of the Eucharist, and should abstain as far as possible from works hindering the worship to be rendered to God, the joy proper to the Lord’s day or the suitable relaxation of body and mind (C.I.C. 1247).

Sundays or Fridays (where it has been decided) The Nativity of the Lord…………………………………………. Dec 25 The Assumption of the B.V. Mary………………………………... Aug 15

In order to fulfil the obligation, it is necessary only to participate in the celebration of the Eucharist in a Catholic church on the day of obligation. The rite, language or formulary of the Eucharistic celebration does not matter.

N.B. C.I.C. 534 §1. After a pastor has taken possession of his parish, he is obliged to apply a Mass for the people entrusted to him on each Sunday and holy day of obligation in his diocese. If he is legitimately impeded from this celebration, however, he is to apply it on the same days through another or on other days himself.

Mary, or any day with the liturgical rank of Solemnity or Feast, according to the judgement of the parish priest in response to the devotion of the faithful.

NOTE: [1]For the Blessing of Graves, see BB 1739-1753. See also Note (h) for this month. [2] The Constitution of Benedict XV Incrumentum Altaris Sacrificium, allows all priests to celebrate 3 Masses on this day and IGMR 204 extends this permission to concelebration. The first Mass may be for a personal intention, the second must be for all the faithful departed, and the third must be for the intention of the Pope. [3] It is not necessary that all 3 formularies of the missal be used consecutively – any of the formuaries may be chosen for any Mass and/or a particular formulary repeated for 2 or 3 Masses. [4] Pastors of souls may offer instruction on avoiding practices involving divination, reincarnation, dreams purportedly from the dead, and denial of the immortality of the soul or hope of the resurrection (DPP 258). Suitable suffrage for the dead encouraged by the Church should be mentioned – such suffrage includes alms, works of mercy, fasting, gaining indulgences for the dead, daily recitation of prayers or invocations for the dead [at the Angelus, rosary and prayers before meals] and other forms of piety especially in the month of November (DPP 260). [5] Plenary indulgence for the souls in purgatory obtained by the faithful visit a church and pray the Our Father and Creed.

YEAR I/A INTRODUCTION 9 Institutes or Societies of Consecrated or Apostolic Life in each parish may also wish to celebrate their Founders and significant saints or devotions with either a public novena, septenary or triduum. All such public devotions are indulgenced (EI 22.1.)

FAST, ABSTINENCE AND DAYS OF PENANCE FASTING Fasting is obligatory for those who have completed their 18th year to the beginning of their 60th year (C.I.C. 1241). One meal a day is eaten. Some food may be taken at two other times in the day to maintain strength (cf. Paenitemini III.2). Fasting is observed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday

ABSTINENCE Abstinence is binding on those who have completed their 14th year (C.I.C. 1241). Those who abstain refrain from eating meat but eggs, milk products and animal fat condiments are allowed (cf. Paenitemini III.1). Abstinence is observed: • on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. • on all Wednesdays that are not Solemnities. However, outside of Lent, the

faithful may substitute abstinence from meat with another act of penance, such as prayer or a work of charity.

This Wednesday abstinence is observed instead of Fridays (as in the Universal Church) due to the particular circumstances of the Vicariate of Southern Arabia.

10 INTRODUCTION YEAR I/A The sacred season of Lent is a time for purification, enlightenment and renewal of faith. The virtue and practice of penance form a necessary part of the preparation for Easter. In a special way, on all the weekdays of Lent, the faithful are encouraged to practice abstinence, fasting and other works of prayer, penance, self-denial and charity according to ability. In accordance with the desire of the Second Vatican Council, Paschalis Sollemnitatis recommends that the Paschal fast and abstinence of Good Friday be prolonged, where possible, on Holy Saturday until the Easter Vigil. In the Vicariate of Southern Arabia, a special Day of Prayer in memory of the modern martyrs of Yemen is observed in June. The faithful are encouraged to remember the sacrifices of Christians in the country (especially those who have given their lives in service of the Gospel) and to perform works of prayer or penance for the restoration of peace. In 2017, this day is observed on June 26. EUCHARISTIC FAST The faithful who are to receive Holy Communion must abstain for one hour before Holy Communion from any food and drink, aside from water and medicine. However, the sick, infirm and elderly (and their caregivers) may receive Holy Communion even if they have eaten something within the preceding hour. A person who has already received the Most Holy Eucharist can receive it a second time on the same day but only within a Eucharistic celebration in which the person participates. Holy Communion should not be received more than twice in a single day unless one is in danger of death. Priests who (con)celebrate Mass should always receive Holy Communion at that Mass, even if they have received Holy Communion previously at other Masses.

EASTER OBLIGATION The faithful who have made their First Holy Communion are to receive Holy Communion at least once a year during the Easter Season. Within the Vicariate of Southern Arabia, this precept may be fulfilled at any time between the First Sunday of Lent and Trinity Sunday (Sunday after Pentecost). Each member of the faithful who has reached the age of discretion is also obliged to confess his or her grave sins at least once a year.

YEAR I/A NOVEMBER 2017 131

NOVEMBER 2017 The month of November is especially dedicated to the veneration of the saints and prayer for the faithful departed. Practices with these aims are encouraged during this month. These may include: a) use of the daily Mass for the Dead or the Votive Mass of All Saints, when

allowed by the rubrics. b) A Mass for the souls of all parishioners and benefactors who passed away

within the preceding year (or another suitable period of time). c) activities and devotions that highlight the lives of various saints as examples

and models for the faithful., especially Patron Saints, evangelizers to particular countries, or newly canonized saints.

d) the substitution of the Litany of Saints (see Supplement) for the Litany of the B.V. Mary after the rosary, if such would not unduly disturb the faithful.

e) public recitation of the Psalm 129(130) Out of the depths after the rosary or Angelus, with the invocation Eternal rest.

f) the veneration of relics and images of the saints, especially on the Feast of All Saints.

g) encouragement of almsgiving, works of mercy and prayer for the souls of the departed.

h) visits to a cemetery to pray for the departed, especially between Nov 1 and Nov 8. When possible, a procession in the cemetery with the Litany of Saints for the departed, and other prayers with the blessing of graves may take place. The Order for Visiting a Cemetery (BB 1739-1753) should be followed.

A plenary indulgence for the souls in purgatory is granted to the faithful who visit a cemetery on any and each day between November 1 and November 8 and pray for the departed; at other times, the indulgence is partial. A partial indulgence for the souls of the departed is also granted for invocations such as Eternal Rest or the praying of Lauds (Morning Prayer) and Vespers (Evening Prayer) from the Office of the Dead. _______________________________________________________________ PAPAL PRAYER INTENTION: Christians in Asia. That Christians in Asia, bearing witness to the Gospel in word and deed, may promote dialogue, peace, and mutual understanding.

ABSOLUTION WITH GENERAL CONFESSION In churches of the Vicariate that have a large numbers of parishioners, such that all are not able to avail themselves of the opportunity for the sacrament of Reconciliation in the weeks preceding the feast of the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas) and the Resurrection of the Lord (Easter), the Apostolic Vicar has determined that absolution without individual confession may be offered to the faithful present on the following 2 occasions:

• at the Midnight Mass(es) of Christmas • on Good Friday, especially before the principal liturgical action of the

day. The rite for imparting general absolution may be found in the Supplement or in the Rite of Penance, Rite III. To validly receive sacramental absolution when general absolution is given, a person must be properly disposed and intend to confess within a suitable period of time each grave (mortal) sin which at that moment cannot be so confessed. He or she is to approach individual confession as soon as possible, given the opportunity, before receiving another general absolution, unless there is a just cause. This is to be clearly announced to the assembled faithful before the imparting of general absolution.

NOTE: This Sunday is observed as World Mission Sunday, a day of prayer instituted by Pope Pius XI in 1922. It recalls the fundamental task of the Church to “go and teach all nations” about the person and Gospel of Christ the Lord. Priests should encourage their congregations to be active in the work of the New Evangelization and to support, both spiritually and materially, the work of the Church in spreading the Gospel. Suitable intentions should be included in the Prayers of the Faithful.


d. The Feast of the Title, Founder, or principal Patron of an Order or Congregation and of a religious province, without prejudice to the prescriptions given under no. 4.

e. Other Feasts proper to an individual church. f. Other Feasts inscribed in the Calendar of each diocese or Order or

Congregation. 9. Weekdays of Advent from 17 December up to and including 24 December

Days within the Octave of Christmas Weekdays of Lent.

III

10. Obligatory Memorials in the General Calendar. 11. Proper Obligatory Memorials, namely:

a. The Memorial of a secondary Patron of the place, diocese, region, or religious province.

b. Other Obligatory Memorials inscribed in the Calendar of each diocese, or Order or Congregation.

12. Optional Memorials, which, however, may be celebrated, in the special

manner described in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal even on the days listed in no. 9. In the same manner Obligatory Memorials may be celebrated as Optional Memorials if they happen to fall on Lenten weekdays.

13. Weekdays of Advent up to and including 16 December.

Weekdays of Christmas Time from 2 January until the Saturday after the Epiphany. Weekdays of the Easter Time from Monday after the Octave of Easter up to and including the Saturday before Pentecost. Weekdays in Ordinary Time.


OCCURRENCE AND CONCURRENCE OF DAYS Occurrence: If several celebrations fall on the same day, the one that holds the highest rank according to the Table of Liturgical Days is observed. However, a Solemnity impeded by a liturgical day that takes precedence over it should be transferred to the closest day not listed under nos. 1-8 in the Table of Precedence. Whenever the Solemnity of the Annunciation of the Lord falls on any day of Holy Week, it is transferred to the Monday after Sunday II of Easter. In the Vicariate of Southern Arabia, in order to ensure the observance of the Sunday liturgies integral to certain seasons, Solemnities and Feasts that fall on a weekend of Advent, Lent or Easter are transferred to the preceding Thursday or following Monday, according to the indications given by the Apostolic Vicar and noted in this Ordo. Other celebrations are omitted in that year. Concurrence: Should Vespers (Evening Prayer) of the current day’s Office and First Vespers (Evening Prayer I) of the following day be assigned for celebration on the same day, then Vespers (Evening Prayer) of the celebration with the higher rank in the Table of Liturgical Days takes precedence; in cases of equal rank, Vespers (Evening Prayer) of the current day takes precedence. The arranging of Mass according to the calendar In general, the Mass formulary used always follows that of the liturgical day. As a rule, morning Masses follow the observance of which Lauds (Morning Prayer) was prayed. Evening Masses follow the observance of which Vespers (Evening Prayer) was prayed.

YEAR I/A INTRODUCTION 15 The Mass to be celebrated in cases of concurrence The Congregation of Divine Worship gave the following indications1 to be observed in cases where two liturgical days overlap, particularly when both are of obligation.

• The Mass to be celebrated should be the Mass of the observance of which Vespers was prayed (according to the rules of concurrence given previously).

• For solemnities for which a particular vigil Mass exists (Nativity of the

Lord, Epiphany, Nativity of St. John the Baptist, Ascension, Pentecost, Ss. Peter and Paul, Assumption), this should be preferred, even to Sunday.

However, the Congregation also authorized local Ordinaries to follow alternate practice for pastoral reason, and instructed that a uniform determination should be made at the beginning of the year in the proper liturgical Calendar. All such indications for the Vicariate of Southern Arabia can be found in this Ordo.

THE CALENDAR TO BE FOLLOWED In celebrations with the people in the churches of the Vicariate, the General Calendar of the Vicariate is followed. Particular indications for different churches (e.g. regarding the observance of Titular feasts) are given under the name of the place where the church is located. The particular observances of churches in the Vicariate are annotated in full, to indicate the missal and lectionary texts for the day.

1 Notitiae 10 (1974), 222-223

16 INTRODUCTION YEAR I/A The proper calendar of an institute/society of consecrated or apostolic life may be followed2:

• In individual celebration by a priest member (with one minister participating, or without ministers).

• in the oratories of the houses of institutes/societies. • in celebrations where members of an institute/society form an

overwhelming majority of those present.

However, even in celebrations with the people in the churches of the Vicariate, nothing prevents the celebration of saints or feasts in a religious calendar as a Votive Mass on most days of the liturgical year, either:

• selected ad libitum by the priest celebrant (on Ordinary Time weekdays) • selected by a priest celebrant/rector who judges it to be a case of

pastoral advantage (on memorials, or during the weekdays of Advent until Dec 16, Christmas weekdays from Jan 2, and Easter weekdays).

• selected with the permission of the Apostolic Vicar (for days numbered 5-9 in the Table of Liturgical Days)3.

The Glory to God (and Creed, if desired) may be added in celebrations of a solemn nature. An additional reading may be selected from the Common for more importanf observances. The liturgical observances of the institutes/societies or apostolic or consecrated life that are present in the Vicariate in a sizeable number are also noted in this Ordo. However, due to constraints of space, no indications regarding the Mas or lectionary texts are printed under these observances. The user is instead directed to the general rules for arranging the Mass on the different days of the liturgical year, and the particular texts and rubrics of the proper books of each institute/society. These should be applied according to the liturgical rank of the observance that is indicated, and using the appropriate Common. Consult pp. 20-24 for more information. 2However, any Solemnities occurring in the calendar of the church of celebration must be celebrated (IGMR 353). 3 For greater detail, consult IGMR 374-376 and the note under Masses for Various Needs and Votive Masses.

* On these days, by special permission of Apostolic Vicar, instead of the Vigil texts and readings, the readings of the Day may be used, if found more pastorally useful (see p. 21). ** For the Nativity of the Lord, the special texts given in the missal according to the time of day (During Night, Dawn, During Day) are used. However, the lectionary provides the option of using any of the 3 sets of readings at any of the Masses. By special permission of the Apostolic Vicar, this is also extended to the Vigil Mass– the readings may be taken from another Christmas Mass.


ARRANGEMENT OF THE MASS The arrangement of the Mass for different days is found in the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (IGMR), nn. 46-90 and 353 -367, as well as individual rubrics of the Roman Missal. SUNDAYS All Sundays of the year are provided with a proper formulary for the Mass. The Creed is prayed on all Sundays, and the Glory to God is used on Sundays outside of Advent and Lent. During the Sundays of Lent, the proper Prayer over the People is mandatory. 3 readings are used on Sundays and can be found in the Proper of Time under the title of that Sunday according to the given lectionary year.

Example entry for Sundays: (1) prop Mass; Gl; Cr; Pf of [Season or Sunday]; op. Sol. Bl. of [season][number]. Explanation: The Mass formulary is proper and taken from that Sunday in the Proper of Time section of the missal. The Glory to God and Creed are used. In Ordinary Time, the preface is selected from the Sunday prefaces. At other times, it may be a seasonal preface, or even a proper preface. A suitable Solemn Blessing appropriate to the season or time of year may be used at the option of the celebrant. The number indicates where it can be found in the Solemn Blessing section at the end of the Order of the Mass. (2) prop Mass; no Gl; Cr; [prop] Pf of [Season/Sunday]; [prop] Pryr over Ppl Explanation: The Mass formulary is proper and taken from that Sunday in the Proper of Time section of the missal. The Creed is used but the Glory to God is omitted. The preface may be a seasonal preface (from the Preface section in the middle of the missal) or even a proper preface (found under the Sunday). The Prayer over the People concludes the Mass – if proper, it is found under the texts of the Sunday. If a number is printed, it indicates where it can be found in the list of Prayers over the People at the end of the Order of the Mass.

OCTOBER 2017

The month of October is popularly marked by pious exercises in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary centered around the holy Rosary. The recommendation given in this Ordo for the month of May may be followed where applicable; among the additional practices for October, the following may be considered: • As encouraged by the Book of Blessings (n. 1464) and the Directory of Popular

Piety (n. 198), a more solemn celebration for the blessing of rosaries may take place during this month, especially on the memorial of Our Lady of the Rosary (October 7) or at the end of the month.

• The rosary may be solemnized in different ways, through the addition of hymns, Scripture passages or prayers related to the mysteries, inserted in between each decade. (cf. DPP 199).

• In churches where there is a strong Capuchin presence, the occasional praying of the Franciscan Corona rosary in honor of the Seven Joys of the B.V. Mary may be encouraged, especially on more solemn occasions.

• in the blessing of homes, every encouragement should be given to the practice of regular family prayer, especially when centered around the holy rosary.

• a plenary indulgence is obtained by the faithful who pray the rosary (5 decades, with meditation on the mysteries) in the family, church or other gathering of the faithful. (E.I. 17.1). In other circumstances, the indulgence is partial.

_______________________________________________________________ PAPAL PRAYER INTENTION: Workers and the Unemployed. That all workers may receive respect and protection of their rights, and that the unemployed may receive the opportunity to contribute to the common good.

SEASONAL WEEKDAYS Each weekday in the seasons of Advent, Christmas, Lent and Easter is provided with a proper formulary for the Mass. There are 2 readings on seasonal weekdays; during the Easter Season, the first reading is traditionally from the Acts of the Apostles.

Example entry for weekdays in season: prop Mass of wkdy; Pf of [Season]; [opt. Pryr Over Ppl]

Explanation: The Mass formulary is proper. It can be found in the Proper of Time, under the weekday mentioned in the title of the day. A seasonal preface is used. Weekdays of Lent may also have a Prayer over the People proper to the day, found under the same weekday, after the Prayer after Communion.

WEEKDAYS IN ORDINARY TIME In general, the Mass of the preceding Sunday is used. In the case of the First Week of Ordinary Time (following the Sunday of the Baptism of the Lord), and the 34th Week (following the Sunday of Christ of King), the formulary provided in the missal for the respective week is used. However, on any weekday in Ordinary Time, the antiphons and prayers may also be taken from another suitable Sunday in Ordinary Time4. The priest celebrant may also choose to use the (antiphons and) Prayers for Various Needs provided in the Missal. He may even use the Collect alone from one of the formularies for Various Needs, with the other prayers and antiphons taken from the preceding or another suitable Sunday in Ordinary Time. Two readings are generally used on the weekdays of Ordinary Time, according to the lectionary cycle (in 2017, Year I)

4 This option may be useful in order to expose the faithful to prayers from Sundays omitted in a given year due to the seasons of Lent and Easter.


Example entry for weekdays in Ordinary Time: [OT Sun X]; Com.Pf. I-VI or any Ms (p.30) Sugg: For Peace [VN 30];

Explanation: The Mass is taken from the Xth Sunday of Ordinary Time, but without the Glory to God or Creed, and using one of the 6 Common Prefaces. The suggested Mass (possibly based on the time of year, or a theme of the readings) is the Votive Mass for Peace and Justice. This is Mass no. 30 in the Various Needs (VN) section of the missal. The celebrant may consult p. 30 for all other options possible on weekdays in Ordinary Time.

SOLEMNITIES & FEASTS The Glory to God is used on Solemnities and Feasts. The Creed is added on Solemnities. The antiphons and prayers are usually proper, otherwise, they are taken from the appropriate Common. The preface is also often proper, especially for Solemnities – if not, the one appropriate to the category of the saint or observance is selected. 3 readings are assigned for Solemnities, and 2 for feasts, unless they are feasts of the Lord occurring on Sunday. They can usually be found in the Proper of Saints – if additional readings are required, then they are taken from the appropriate Common.5 In the Vicariate of Southern Arabia, 3 readings are also used for feasts of the saints when their Masses are used as obligation Masses. A Solemn Blessing is often recommended in the missal for certain saints. In this Ordo, a suitable Solemn Blessing or Prayer over the People (from the collections found after the Order of the Mass in the Roman Missal) is always suggested.

Example entries for Solemnities and Feasts: prop Mass; Gl; [Cr]; prop. Pf. opt. Sol. Bl. of (Saint) [number] or prop Mass; Gl; [Cr]; prop. Pf. opt. Pryr over Ppl [number]

5When the cycle of weekday readings is interrupted by a Solemnity or Feast, the Priest is permitted to combine the omitted parts with other readings, or choose between readings, keeping in mind the scheme of readings for the entire week.

Explanation: The Mass formulary is proper, and texts can usually be found in the Proper of Saints, under the name of the saint/date. The Glory to God (and Creed) are used. A suitable Solemn Blessing for the category of the Saint may be used at the option of the presiding celebrant – its number in the section of Solemn Blessings in the Roman Missal is indicated. Alternatively, a suitable Prayer over the People, from the 28 prayers given after the Order of the Mass, may be used.

VIGILS There are 8 solemnities which possess special Mass formularies for use in Mass celebrated on the evening before the feast day. These are the solemnities of the Nativity of the Lord (Christmas), his Epiphany, his Resurrection (Easter), his Ascension, Pentecost, the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, Ss. Peter and Paul, and the Assumption of the B.V. Mary. The Vigils of the Resurrection and Pentecost are extended vigils, with several readings and other modifications in the Mass, according to the proper rubrics given for both observances. The Easter Vigil is mandatory while that of Pentecost (in its extended form) is optional. All other Vigils do not alter the regular structure of the Mass, but consist simply of distinctive Mass texts. Friday: If 1 of the 8 solemnities occurs on a Sunday, the Vigil formulary is used for the obligation Masses both of Friday and Saturday. However, the solemnities of Christmas and Easter are not anticipated on the preceding Friday, and so the Vigil Mass is used only on the Saturday. Replacement of the Vigil Mass with the Mass ‘During the Day’ Readings: The Vigils of Epiphany and Ascension use the same Lectionary readings as assigned to the Mass “During the Day”. All the other Vigils possess unique readings. Where it is possible, it is encouraged that the Vigil Mass and its readings both be used on the eve of these Solemnities. However, aside from the Easter Vigil, in cases of pastoral necessity (particularly where priests must preach at multiple Masses) the Apostolic Vicar specially permits the readings assigned to the Mass “During the Day” to be used at the Vigil Mass on Friday-Saturday instead of its proper readings.

22 INTRODUCTION YEAR I/A Formularies: As a rule, the formulary of the Vigil Mass should still be used, even if the readings are changed. However, aside from the Vigils of Easter and Christmas, for pastoral reasons (e.g. titular saint, confusion of the faithful, etc.) the formulary for the Vigil Mass on Friday-Saturday may be replaced by that of the Mass “During the Day” by special permission of the Apostolic Vicar. MEMORIALS The Glory to God is not usually used on memorials, unless a special festive and solemn reason suggests its use (cf. IGMR 53). Memorials of the General Calendar are usually provided with a proper Collect. If one is lacking, it is taken from the appropriate Common. If the other prayers and antiphons are proper, they should be used. Otherwise, they are selected either from the Common or the weekday of the current time of year. If no proper preface is provided, the preface may be either of the category of the saint, or of the season. In general, the weekday cycle of readings is followed, unless for pastoral reasons readings given in the Proper of Saints or from a suitable Common are selected. Readings for memorials are printed in the Proper of Saints A few memorials have Proper readings (either the First Reading or Gospel, or both), often containing mention of the saint(s) of the day. When only one of the readings is Proper, this Ordo lists 2 choices – the Proper reading (from the Proper of Saints) in combination with the other weekday reading (from the Proper of Time), or – for convenience of lectors - the Proper reading together with the other companion reading given for that day in the Proper of Saints .

Example entries for Memorials: (1) prop Mass; Pf. of [category]/[season] Explanation: All texts of the Mass are proper to the observance and can be found under the name of the saint and the corresponding date in the Proper of Saints. The Preface may be chosen from the category of Saint or taken from the season. (2) prop Col; rest from Com/wkdy; Pf. of [category]/[season]

Explanation: The Collect is proper to the observance and can be found under the name of the saint and corresponding date in the Proper of Saints. The rest of the texts (prayers and antiphons) are taken either from the Common (found in the Common of Saints) or from the weekday texts (of the current weekday in the Proper of Time; weekdays of Ordinary Time use the preceding Sunday). The Preface chosen may correspond to that category of Saint or taken from the season.

The entrance and communion antiphons are taken either from the Common (found in the Common of Saints) or from the weekday texts (of the current weekday in the Proper of Time; weekdays of Ordinary Time use the preceding Sunday). The Preface may be suitable to that category of Saint or taken from the season.

COMMEMORATIONS Any memorials which occur during Dec 17-24, the Christmas Octave, or Lenten weekdays are celebrated as commemorations. The Mass is taken entirely from the weekday with the appropriate seasonal colour – however, the Collect of the Mass is replaced by the Collect of the Saint.

Example entries for Commemorations: prop Col of St.; rest as on weekday (above) Explanation: The Collect is proper and taken from the Proper of Saints. The rest of the Mass follows what is noted in the Ordo for the weekday celebration (always printed, since commemorations are always optional).


Brief Note in the use of the Common of Saints • On Memorials:

o A page reference in the Roman Missal to the Commons only indicates

a suitable text. Another text from the same Common may always be chosen.

o If 2 Commons are suggested, then either one may be used. However, texts from 2 different Commons should not be mixed.

o It is always permitted, even if a reference is given to a particular

category (e.g. Virgins, Martyrs, etc.), to use texts from the Common of Holy Men and Women, which refers to Sainthood in general.

• The Priest may always exchange antiphons and prayers within the same

Common, choosing those texts which seem more suitable for pastoral reasons. However, Masses designated for specific times or circumstances (e.g. for use in Eastertide) can only be used in those times or circumstances.

• In the individual Commons, texts in the singular (for one saint) may changed to the plural (for several saints) and vice versa.

• In the Common of Martyrs and the Common of Holy Men and Women, all

the prayers that are given for men may also be used for women, with the necessary change of gender.
