Year A
The Year of Matthew
On the 1st Sunday of Advent 2016 we begin Year A in the Lectionary.
This continues until the Feast of Christ the King in 2017. It is often called
the ‘Year of Matthew’ because the Gospel of Matthew is the one most
frequently read in Year A on Sundays and Feast days for the Liturgy of
the Word at Mass.

Sunday: Cycle A. Weekday: Cycle I
Ordinary Time
Weeks in Ordinary Time consist in 34 weeks.
There are 8 weeks before Lent – beginning 8 January in the Universal Calendar
and ending 28 February (Tuesday before Ash Wednesday).
There are 26 weeks after Eastertime – resuming from the 9th week on 5 June
(i.e. Monday after Pentecost Sunday).
The Celebration of the Eucharist
It is most desirable that the faithful, just as the priest himself is bound to do, receive the Lord’s
Body from hosts consecrated at the same Mass (GIRM No 86). Holy Communion has a fuller
form as a sign when it is distributed under both kinds.
Before receiving Communion a person should abstain from all food and drink, with the exception
of water and medicine, for at least one hour.
However, the elderly and those who are suffering from some illness, as well as those who care
for them, may receive the Eucharist even if within the previous hour they have consumed
something. A priest who celebrates Mass twice or more times may consume something before the
second and other celebrations even though there is not an hour’s interval.
A person who has received Communion may only receive once again the same day provided that
they participate in a Eucharistic Celebration
On Solemnities which are holydays of Obligation, on Sundays of Advent, Lent and Eastertide
and during the Paschal Triduum, all Ritual, Votive, Requiem and Funeral Masses are forbidden.
On Solemnities which are not holydays of Obligation, on Ash Wednesday, during Holy Week,
on days within the Easter Octave and on Sundays of Christmastide and Sundays in Ordinary Time,
funeral Masses are permitted but Ritual, Votive and Requiem Masses are not.
When two obligatory Memorials coincide they are both reduced to Optional Memorials and
consequently either one is of choice.
When a Solemnity falls on a Saturday or Monday, the Mass to be celebrated on Saturday or
Sunday evening respectively, is the Sunday Mass. Since this ORDO covers many countries and
dioceses it is not possible to indicate when a Solemnity is transferred and celebrated on the nearest
Sunday. It is advisable therefore to consult the local Church calendar.

Periods of Silence within the Eucharistic Celebration
Number 45 of the General Instruction of the Roman Missal (Third and Amended Typical Edition,
2008) prescribes:
‘Sacred silence also, as part of the celebration, is to be observed at the designated times. Its
purpose, however, depends on the time it occurs in each part of the celebration. Thus within
the Act of Penitence and again after the invitation to pray, all recollect themselves; but at the
conclusion of a reading or the homily, all meditate briefly on what they have heard; then after
Communion, they praise and pray to God in their hearts. Even before the celebration itself, it
is commendable that silence be observed in the church, in the sacristy, in the vesting room, and
in adjacent areas, so that all may dispose themselves to carry out the sacred action in a devout
and fitting manner.’
Paragraph 30 of the Liturgy Constitution, Sacrosanctum Concilium, likewise prescribes:
“And at the proper times all should observe a reverent silence.”
Number 56 of the General Instruction specifies better the importance of silence within the
Liturgy of the Word, while number 78 makes the same clear for the Liturgy of the Eucharist:
“The Eucharistic Prayer demands that all listen to it with reverence and in silence.”
Number 84 then underscores the importance of the observance of silence as a means of good
preparation for the reception of Holy Communion:
“The priest prepares himself by a prayer, said quietly, that he may fruitfully receive Christ’s
Body and Blood. The faithful do the same, praying silently.”
Finally, the same attitude is proposed for the period of thanksgiving after Communion:
When the distribution of Communion is finished, as circumstances suggest, the priest and
faithful spend some time praying privately.
If desired, a psalm or other canticle of praise or a hymn may also be sung by the entire
congregation. (n. 88)
Silence in the Liturgy of the Hours
It is a general principle that care should be taken in liturgical services to see that “at the proper
times all observe a revert silence.” (SC art 30). An opportunity for silence should therefore be
provided in the celebration of the liturgy of the hours. (GILH 201)
In order to receive in our hearts the full sound of the voice of the Holy Spirit and to unite our
personal prayer more closely with the word of God and the public voice of the Church, it is
permissible, as the occasion offers and prudence suggests, to have an interval of silence during
the celebration of the Divine Office.
However, care must be taken to avoid the kind of silence that would disturb the structure of the
office or annoy and weary those taking part. (GILH 202)

Sunday
On the first day of each week, which is known as the Lord's Day, the Church, by an apostolic
tradition that draws its origin from the very day of the resurrection of Christ, celebrates the paschal
mystery. Hence, Sunday must be considered a primordial feast day. Because of its special
importance, the celebration of Sunday gives way only to Solemnities and Feasts of the Lord;
indeed, the Sundays of Advent, Lent and Easter have precedence over all Feasts of the Lord and
over all Solemnities. In fact, Solemnities occurring on these Sundays are transferred to the
following Monday unless they occur on Palm Sunday or on the Sunday of the Lord's Resurrection.
Suffrages for the Dead
On the death of a religious, even a novice, the Superior of the House is to advise the Provincial
who in turn is to notify all the Monasteries of the Province as well as the Superior General.
As soon as a Monastery is notified concerning the death of a religious (including Bishops who
were members of the Order), the deceased should be prayed for at the community Mass and at
Evening Prayer during the intercessions. Every house in the Order is to offer one Mass for the
repose of his soul.
For Superiors General and Definitors a Mass is to be celebrated in community in all the
Monasteries of the Order and each Priest should offer one Mass for them. For the Holy Father or
the local Bishop a community Mass is to be offered.
For a religious of the Province who dies each priest in the Province is to offer a Mass and each
community is to recite the Liturgy of the Hours for the repose of his soul. For a deceased Carmelite
Nun belonging to a Monastery under the jurisdiction of the Provincial, each community in the
region is to offer a Mass. For a deceased parent of one of our religious, each community in the
region is to offer a Mass. As a matter of charity we should remember in our Masses and prayers
all who have at any time belonged to our Province.
On the commemoration of all the dead of the Order, all the Masses in our Monasteries are to be
offered for the dead. Once a month, liturgical prescriptions permitting, our communities should
offer a Mass and recite the Office of the Dead for the deceased members of our Order, as well
and for our deceased relatives and benefactors. The Office of the Dead replaces the liturgical
Office of the Day. Compline is of the weekday.
A reminder is placed in the Ordo on the eve of the anniversary of the death of those religious who
have served in the Province since 1900; may they rest in peace.
Ternary Office
The Office for the Dead and Mass for Ternary intentions may be said instead of the Office of the
day on one free weekday in the month during the period called Ordinary Time. This is the period
outside Advent the Christmas season and outside Lent and Easter period. Compline is of the
weekday.

Supplement to the Divine Office
Companion to the Ordo
Many new memorials have been added by the Church since the English
edition of the Divine Office in three volumes was first printed in 1974. This
book collects together many of these texts. It is a general supplement and is
not to be confused with the Carmelite Supplement which appears as a black
hardback book.
This general supplement is now offered as a separate book and companion to
the Ordo for the use of the Carmelite Family in the English speaking world.
It contains the prayer and sometimes the Second Reading of the following
memorials:
12 July, Saint Louis Martin and Zèlie Guérin
14 August, St Maximilian Kolbe, Priest, Martyr
20 September, St Paul Chong Hasang, and companions, Martyrs (Korean)
23 September, St. Pius of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio), priest
9 October, Blessed. John Henry Newman, priest
11 October, St John XXIII, Pope
22 October, St John Paul II, Pope
24 November, Saint Andrew and his companions, Martyrs (Vietnamese)
Collects for the celebration of many British and Irish Saints in the New
Calendar are also found in this book.
This book is often referred to in the Ordo throughout the year as Supplement.
Companion to the Ordo.

MARCH
Season of Lent
The weekdays of Lent take precedence over the Memorials of Saints; hence Memorials which
occur in Lent are considered as optional for that year. However, they may be celebrated as
follows:
at the Office of Readings, after the reading from the Fathers with its Response (taken
from the Proper. of the Season), the Proper reading of the Saint, with its Response and
the Collect of the Saint may be said.
at Lauds and Vespers, the Antiphon and Collect of the Saint may be added to the Collect
of the Day under the one conclusion.
at Mass the Collect of the Saint may be used in place of the Collect of the Day
The Alleluia is omitted both in the Liturgy of the Hours and in the celebration of Mass.

March ASH WEDNESDAY
Volume II of the Divine Office used from today
Ash Wednsday is a day of penance for the whole Church of the Roman Rite; it is a day of Fast
and Abstinence. St. David of Wales, bishop is not celebrated this year.
In Wales this is transferred to February 28th this year.
Week 4 of the Psalter is used from today until Saturday. However, the Psalms and Canticle at
Lauds may be taken from Friday of week 3 of Psalter because of their penitential character
The blessing and distribution of Ashes take place after the Gospel and Homily; the Penitential
Rite is omitted. When Mass is not celebrated it is appropriate that the rite be preceded by a Liturgy
of the Word (Entrance Antiphon, Collect and Readings from the Mass) and concluded with the
Prayer of the Faithful

GOOD FRIDAY
Celebration of the Lord’s Passion
Day of Fast and Abstinence of the Church
Mass is not celebrated today. Holy Communion may be distributed only during
the celebration of the Lord’s Passion; it may be taken at any hour of the day to
those who are sick and cannot take part in the ceremony.
The celebration takes place in the afternoon, about three o’clock unless pastoral
reasons suggest a later hour. Red vestments are used; the altar should be
completely bare. After the distribution of Holy Communion the Blessed
Sacrament is taken to the place where it is to be reserved, the Altar is stripped
but the Crucifix and Candles are left on it.
Stations of the Cross, processions in honour of the Lord’s Passion, the
commemoration of the Sorrows of Our Lady and other popular devotions that
are of pastoral importance are of great significance and through judicious use
of texts and music lead the people to true liturgical participation.
Liturgy of the Hours: Proper
The Office of Readings and Morning Prayer should, if possible, be celebrated
publicly and with the participation of the people.
Solemn Liturgical Action. (Red Vestments used)

The Easter Vigil
There are four parts to the rite: the service of light, the liturgy of the Word, the
liturgy of baptism and the liturgy of the Eucharist. It should take place during
the night so that it does not begin before nightfall and ends before dawn.
The celebration of the Mass without the Vigil ceremonies is forbidden The
Vigil may be celebrated is Churches and Oratories where the other ceremonies
of the Sacred Triduum did not take place; it may be omitted even when the
other ceremonies did take place. It must be performed where there is a
Baptismal font.
At least three readings from the Old Testament should be read; in more urgent
cases, at least two. The reading from Exodus may never be omitted. At the
Gospel incense may be used but candles are not used.
The Mass at night, although celebrated before midnight, is the Easter Mass of
the Resurrection and satisfies the law of hearing Mass on Easter Sunday. Holy
Communion may be distributed during the Solemn Mass only.
The Easter Vigil takes the place of the Office of Readings. Those who are not
present at the Vigil should include at least four of the readings (more fittingly
from Exodus, Ezechiel, St. Paul and the Gospel) together with their canticles
and prayers, concluding with the Te Deum and the Collect of the day.

Supplement to the Divine Office
Companion to the Ordo
Many new memorials have been added by the Church since the English edition of the
Divine Office in three volumes was first printed in 1974. This book collects
together many of these texts. It is a general supplement and is not to be
confused with the Carmelite Supplement which appears as a black hardback
book.
This general supplement is now offered as a separate book and companion to
the Ordo for the use of the Carmelite Family in the English speaking world.
It contains the prayer and sometimes the Second Reading of the following
memorials:
12 July, Saint Louis Martin and Zèlie Guérin
14 August, St Maximilian Kolbe, Priest, Martyr
20 September, St Paul Chong Hasang, and companions, Martyrs (Korean)
23 September, St. Pius of Pietrelcina (Padre Pio), priest
9 October, Blessed. John Henry Newman, priest
11 October, St John XXIII, Pope
22 October, St John Paul II, Pope
24 November, Saint Andrew and his companions, Martyrs (Vietnamese)
Collects for the celebration of may British and Irish Saints in the New
Calendar are also found in this book.
This book is often referred to in the Ordo throughout the year.

Carmelite Spirituality but also the
Christian classics, books on the English
Spiritual tradition, Celtic Spirituality,
Eastern Spirituality and Contemporary
