The OrdO Kalendar 2018-2019 FOr The divine OFFice Y ear One and hOlY eucharisT Y ear c using rcl readings inTrOducTiOn This Ordo Kalendar represents the normative liturgical use of the Order of Julian of Norwich. It follows the calendar and rubrics of The Book of Common Prayer with some enrichments, both in the selection of readings and in commemorations. The Ordo Kalendar text contains one block for each day of the year. The shaded column on the left shows the day and date and various symbols and secondary instructions for the day, such as whether it is a fasting day in the Order or not. For more information on the symbols used in this calendar to rank feasts, and to specify holy days of obligations and other celebrations, please see page v of this introduction. The main column, in the middle of each block, gives information about the celebration of the Daily Eucharist. The column on the right gives information for the Daily Offce Day Holy Eucharist Observation Ofce Observation Month and Date Mass (Liturgical Color) Collect page Ofce (Liturgical Color) Collect page Festal Rank Gloria or Kyrie?

Special information for Vigils of Feasts • The second Canticle at Morning Prayer is always Canticle #16: The Song of Zechariah (Benedictus Dominus Deus). • The evening Canticle is always the Magnifcat. • All Holy Women, Holy Men page references in this Ordo are to the 2010 edition. Commemorations and readings are modifed in part from that book to refect the usage of this Order. All readings for commemorations are from the NRSV. Sunday readings also follow the Revised Common Lectionary. • This Ordo Kalendar assumes the use of Rite II for both Offces and Eucharist. It also assumes (and encourages) the use of the in-course daily selections from the Psalter at Offce (following the divisions provided within the Prayer Book Psalter itself, rather than the individual Psalm selections from the lectionary). • On the 19th day of each month it is the Order’s custom to read the Psalms appointed for Morning Prayer at Evensong and vice versa to avoid repetition of the Invitatory Canticle in Psalm 95. • When a month has 31 days, the Prayer Book lectionary Psalms for Day 31 are given in the Ordo for use on that day. ________________________________________________________________ © 2018 The Order of Julian of Norwich i • We follow the recommendations of contemporary liturgical scholars in avoiding Eucharistic commemoration of saints’ days during the season of Lent (except for feasts of Apostles, St. Joseph, and the Annunciation), and we provide weekday Propers for the entire Lenten season. In the selections of commemorations which are not part of the Prayer Book calendar or in Holy Women, Holy Men, we include these: a. Famous founders or patrons of Religious Orders: Scholastica of Nursia, Norbert of Prémontré, Gilbert of Sempringham b. Famous mystics or spiritual leaders: Francis de Sales, Arthur Michael Ramsey, Bonaventure, John Vianney, Thérèse of Lisieux, Birgitta of Sweden, Elizabeth of the Trinity c. Saints famous in the traditions of the Church in Britain: Thomas More, Swithun, Our Lady of Walsingham d. Venerable traditional feasts: Conception of the Blessed Virgin, Our Lady of Sorrows, Corpus Christi, Sacred Heart, Beheading of John Baptist e. Some contemporary saints and martyrs: Dorothy Day, Titus Brandsma, Maria Gabriella Sagheddu, Edith Stein f. Certain saints related to Saint Julian or who appear in her writing: John of Beverly g. Those whose relics are held in our monastery: Ignatius, Benedict, Scholastica, Thérèse of Lisieux, Teresa of Avila, Cecilia, Maria Gabriella Sagheddu h. The memorial of the founding of the Order of Julian of Norwich. At Votive Masses for the Blessed Virgin Mary, commemorated on Saturdays throughout the year (if the Kalendar allows), and also at other festivals of Our Lady, the Order of Julian uses the following Preface of its own composition, adapted from Roman use. Others may wish to use the Saint #1 Preface (page 380 in the Prayer Book), if an alternate Preface is not already given in the Ordo: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and that on this commemoration of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we should praise, bless, and extol your wonders, for by the mighty power of the Holy Spirit, she conceived the only-begotten Son, and in her virgin motherhood, brought forth for us the Light Eternal, even Jesus Christ our Lord. Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name... ii ADDITIONAL COLLECTS [DECEMBER 8] CONCEPTION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY O God, who in the foreknowledge of your Son’s most precious death, consecrated for Him a dwelling place by the sinlessness of the Blessed Virgin Mary, mercifully grant that she who was preserved from all stain of sin may evermore pray for us, until we attain unto you in purity of heart, through the same Jesus Christ who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, now and for ever.
