THE ORDER TO BE OBSERVED IN THE PRAYING OF THE DIVINE OFFICE AND THE CELEBRATION OF MASS FOR THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2017

INTRODUCTION The Calendar which follows combines the with the English National Calendar and Middlesbrough Diocesan Supplements. Parishes should add to this their Titular Feast and the Anniversary of Dedication or Consecration. Both of these are celebrated as Solemnities. Should they coincide with Ash Wednesday, Holy Week, Easter Week or any other solemnity, they are transferred to the nearest free day. If it is considered pastorally beneficial the Mass may be transferred to the nearest Sunday, provided this is an ordinary Sunday of the year.

GENERAL GUIDELINES FOR THE CELEBRATION OF MASS AND DIVINE OFFICE

SUNDAY The Sundays of Advent, Lent and Eastertide are Solemnities. On these Sundays no other celebration may replace that of the Sunday. The Sundays of Christmastide and Sundays in Ordinary Time are Feasts. These can be replaced by an occurring Solemnity. Sundays in Ordinary Time can also be replaced by Feasts of the Lord but by no other Feasts. On Sundays which are Feasts, the Mass of the Sunday may be replaced by a Funeral Mass or Ritual Mass, but other Masses may only be celebrated on the directions of, or with the permission of, the Bishop. At Mass on Sundays there are three Readings, and the Gloria, except in Advent and Lent, and the Creed are said. The Office starts with Evening Prayer I. The Te Deum is said, except in Lent.

SOLEMNITIES MASS: Prayers, Readings and Preface are taken from the Proper or appropriate Common. Three Readings are used, and the Gloria and Creed are said. Except on Holydays of Obligation, a Funeral Mass may be celebrated, but no other Mass may replace that of the Solemnity.

OFFICE: The Office is taken from the Proper or appropriate Common. It starts with Evening Prayer I. The Te Deum is said. At Midday Prayer the complementary Psalms are used, except on Sundays. Night Prayer after Evening Prayer I and II of Sunday is used.

FEASTS MASS: Prayers, Readings and Preface are taken from the Proper or appropriate Common. Two Readings are used except on Sundays. The Gloria is said, but the Creed only on Sundays. The Mass may be replaced by a Funeral Mass or ritual Mass but no other celebration.

OFFICE: The Office is taken from the Proper or appropriate Common. Evening Prayer I is only said on Sundays. At Midday Prayer the Psalms of the day are said with the Antiphons of the Season or day. Night Prayer of the day is said.

OBLIGATORY MEMORIALS MASS: The Opening Prayer is from the Proper or appropriate Common. If the other prayers are not proper, they may be taken from the Common or the Mass of the day. Unless at least one Reading is strictly Proper, the Readings of the Day are used. If no proper Preface is indicated the Preface of the Season or of the weekday is used. A Mass of the Dead may replace that of the memoria, as soon as notice of death is received, on the day of final burial and on the first anniversary. A Ritual Mass may be celebrated. Votive Masses may be only celebrated for exceptional pastoral reasons.

OFFICE: If any part of the Office is proper, then this is said. If not proper, the concluding prayer at Office of Readings, Morning Prayer and Evening Prayer is taken from the Common, the Invitatory Antiphon and at Morning and Evening Prayer, the Hymn, Reading, Short Responsory, Benedictus/Magnificat Antiphons and Intercessions from either the Common or the Office of the Day, and remainder from the Office of the Day.

OPTIONAL MEMORIALS Optional Memorials should only be celebrated when there is genuine local devotion. It is not correct to celebrate all or even most of optional memorias. When celebrated, they are celebrated in the same way as obligatory memorias.

MEMORIALS DURING PRIVILEGED SEASONS Memorials are not celebrated during Holy Week or Easter Week. During Lent, between 17th and 24th December and during the Octave of Christmas, all Memorials are optional. If celebrated, they are celebrated in the following way: MASS: The Opening Prayer of the Memoria is said. The rest is of the Mass of the day. OFFICE: In the Office of Readings the Reading of the Memoria is added as a third Reading, followed by its responsory and the concluding prayer of the Memoria. At Morning and Evening Prayer, the Antiphon and concluding Prayer of the Memoria may be added after the concluding prayer of the day.

WEEKDAYS

ADVENT, CHRISTMASTIDE, LENT AND EASTERTIDE A Proper Mass is provided for each weekday during these seasons, and this should be used on all ordinary weekdays. The Mass of the day may only be replaced under same circumstances as the Mass of an Obligatory Memoria (see above). In the Office, the Psalms are taken from the four week Psalter, the rest from the Proper of Seasons.

ORDINARY WEEKDAYS The Prayers at Mass may be taken from ANY Sunday of the Year, not just the previous Sunday or from a Votive Mass or one of the Masses for Various Needs and Occasions. Votive Masses, including Masses for the Dead may be celebrated, but these should be used sparingly. In particular the weekday readings should NOT be omitted too frequently or without good reason. When it is necessary to omit the weekday readings, the readings for the whole week may be rearranged so that only the less significant passages are omitted and the theme of the weekday readings is not destroyed.

THE LECTIONARY In the Lectionary the SUNDAY READINGS for 2017, commencing on the First Sunday of Advent 2016 are taken from YEAR A. THE WEEKDAY READINGS, commencing on TUESDAY JANUARY 10th, 2017 are taken from YEAR I.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYERS There is always a choice to be made as to which Eucharistic Prayer and Preface is to be used. A helpful explanation may be found in the `Letter on Eucharistic Prayers` - contained in `Vatican II Documents` edited by Flannery pp 233-240.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER I has special `communicantes` which highlight the major feast or rite being celebrated. EUCHARISTIC PRAYERS I, II and III may be used with any Preface. However, Eucharistic Prayer II has its own Preface, and this may be used even when there is a seasonal Preface. EUCHARISTIC PRAYER IV may not be used on Feasts with their own Preface, nor may another Preface be used. The reason for this is that Eucharistic Prayer IV is modelled on the Eastern tradition which has irreplaceable Prefaces. Unlike the other Prefaces which end with the Praise of Angels and for Redemption in Christ, the Preface of Eucharistic Prayer IV is in praise of God Himself - Jesus Christ not being mentioned until after the Sanctus. The EUCHARISTIC PRAYERS for MASSES OF RECONCILIATION may be used especially as Masses with a Unity, Peace, and Penitential theme.

MASS FOR THE PEOPLE The obligation of Missa pro Populo applies on Sundays and Holydays of Obligation.

NOTES ON THE OBSERVANCE OF DAYS OF SPECIAL PRAYER Principal Means i) Announcing it and urging people to pray for the intention. ii) By announcing it at the beginning of Mass. iii) By including the intention in the Prayer of the Faithful. iv) By means of publicity in parish newsletter etc. Choice of Liturgical Texts Normally the mass of the day is to be celebrated, especially on Sundays. Where a special Mass is permitted it is indicated in the Calendar. It is only permitted to replace the Mass of the Sunday on the following occasions:

I) Sunday between 18th and 25th January. ONE Mass for the Unity of Christians. II) Mission Sunday ONE Mass for the spread of the Gospel. III) Remembrance Sunday ONE Mass for the dead of two World Wars. IV) On a Sunday arranged locally. ONE Mass ‘After the Harvest.’ At all Masses the readings corresponding to the Mass being celebrated should be used whether this is the Mass of the day or one of the Masses for various Needs and Occasions. The Homily on Days of Prayer As the homily is an integral part of the liturgy, on a Day of Prayer, the homily or a major part of it, should be related to the readings that are used at the Mass, and not given over entirely to the intention of the day of Prayer.

CHANGES TO 2017 CALENDAR As the Solemnity of the Epiphany will be observed on the Sunday between 2nd-8th January therefore it is on Sunday 8th January. The Ascension of Our Lord is observed on 7th Sunday of Eastertide (28th May), the 7th Sunday of Eastertide is omitted. Corpus Christi is observed on the Sunday after Trinity Sunday (18th June), 11th Sunday of Ordinary Time is omitted.
