notes: Season after Pentecost

Notes for the Liturgy during Paschaltide after Pentecost

1. The Easter Season ends after None on Ember Saturday and the Time of Pentecost begins with First Vespers of Trinity Sunday. There is no commemoration of the First Sunday after Pentecost on Trinity Sunday. However, during the following week, it is the Sunday, and not the festal, Mass which is used for ferial days.

2. June 11th is the Solemnity of Corpus Christi. If there is a procession of the Blessed Sacrament immediately after Mass, the Blessed Sacrament is exposed in the monstrance on the Altar immediately after Communion. The Benedicamus Domino is said; there is no blessing or Last Gospel. Pange Lingua is sung during the procession.

3. The Votive Mass of the Most Holy Eucharist (2nd Class) may be celebrated during the seven days following the feast. A procession of the Blessed Sacrament must follow the Mass. Two such occasions are allowed.

4. Friday June 19th is the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. A plenary indulgence may be gained by saying the Act of Reparation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus publicly in front of the Blessed Sacrament today, subject to the usual conditions.

notes: Eastertide II

Further notes for the Liturgy during Eastertide

1. The Lesser Litanies may be sung in procession or in Church before Mass on May 18th, 19th, and 20th (the three days preceding Ascension Thursday).

2. When the Lesser Litanies are sung, the Mass of the Rogation follows. At this Mass, a votive of the second class, the Priest wears violet. There is no gloria or Credo and the Preface is that of Easter. Mass begins with the incensation and Introit, omitting the Prayers at the Foot of the Altar. If the Mass or the Rogation is not said, there is no commemoration of it.

3. At the end of the Gospel on Ascension Thursday the paschal candle is extinguished and after Mass it is removed from the sanctuary.

4. On the ferias between the Ascension and Pentecost (May 22nd), the Proper is taken from the feast of the Ascension, omitting the Creed and the proper Communicantes.

5. The Vigil Mass of Pentecost, like that of Easter, is a festal Mass, the solemn opening of the Feast and Octave of Easter. It is properly celebrated after None in the late afternoon or evening and fulfils the Sunday obligation if celebrated at this proper time. The rubrics also permit anticipating the Vigil Mass in the morning (except for conventual Masses). The color of the day for the Office until the Mass exclusive is white; the color for the Mass is red.

6. One kneels during the Veni Sancte Spiritus verse on Pentecost and during the Octave.

7. A plenary indulgence may be gained by publicly saying or singing the Veni Creator on Pentecost Sunday.

Plenary Indulgence for the Year of Priests

According to a decree made public today and signed by Cardinal James Francis Stafford and Bishop Gianfranco Girotti, O.F.M. Conv., respectively penitentiary major and regent of the Apostolic Penitentiary, Benedict XVI will grant priests and faithful Plenary Indulgence for the occasion of the Year for Priests, which is due to run from 19 June 2009 to 19 June 2010 and has been called in honour of St. Jean Marie Vianney.

The period will begin with the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus [June 19th], "a day of priestly sanctification", says the text, when the Pope will celebrate Vespers before the relics of the saint, brought to Rome for the occasion by the bishop of the French diocese of Belley-Ars. The Year will end in St. Peter's Square, in the presence of priests from all over the world "who will renew their faithfulness to Christ and their bonds of fraternity".

The means to obtain the Plenary Indulgence are as follows:

(a) All truly penitent priests who, on any day, devotedly pray Lauds or Vespers before the Blessed Sacrament exposed to public adoration or in the tabernacle, and ... offer themselves with a ready and generous heart for the celebration of the Sacraments, especially the Sacrament of Penance, will be granted Plenary Indulgence, which they can also apply to their deceased confreres, if in accordance with current norms they take Sacramental Confession and the Eucharist and pray in accordance with the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff. Priests are furthermore granted Partial Indulgence, also applicable to deceased confreres, every time they devotedly recite the prayers duly approved to lead a saintly life and to carry out the duties entrusted to them.

(b) All truly penitent Christian faithful who, in church or oratory, devotedly attend Holy Mass and offer prayers to Jesus Christ, supreme and eternal Priest, for the priests of the Church, or perform any good work to sanctify and mould them to His Heart, are granted Plenary Indulgence, on the condition that they have expiated their sins through Sacramental Confession and prayed in accordance with the intentions of the Supreme Pontiff. This may be done on the opening and closing days of the Year of Priests, on the 150th anniversary of the death of St. Jean Marie Vianney, on the first Thursday of the month, or on any other day established by the ordinaries of particular places for the good of the faithful.

The elderly, the sick and all those who for any legitimate reason are unable to leave their homes, may still obtain Plenary Indulgence if, with the soul completely removed from attachment to any form of sin and with the intention of observing, as soon as they can, the usual three conditions, "on the days concerned, they pray for the sanctification of priests and offer their sickness and suffering to God through Mary, Queen of the Apostles".

Partial Indulgence is offered to all faithful each time they pray five Our Father, Ave Maria and Gloria Patri, or any other duly approved prayer "in honour of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, to ask that priests maintain purity and sanctity of life".

2nd Class, White
Gloria; Credo; Preface of Easter


Oremus.

Deus, qui errántibus, ut in viam possint redíre justítiæ, veritátis tuæ lumen osténdis : da cunctis qui christiána professióne censéntur, et illa respúere, quæ huic inimíca sunt nómini ; et ea quæ sunt apta, sectári. Per Dóminum nostrum.

Let us pray.

O God, who shewest to them that be in error the light of thy truth, to the intent that they may return to the way of righteousness : grant unto all them that are admitted into the fellowship of Christ's religion, that they may eschew those things that are contrary to their profession ; and follow all such things as are agreeable to the same. Through.
