10. Paschal-tide – Pentecost and the Octave of Pentecost (From 5-28-2023 to 6- 3-2023)
As a preparatory Season for Christmas, Advent has some penitential features. There is no Te Deum at the end of ad Matutinum on Sundays and ferial days. On ferial days during the week, ad Laudes II is said. When ad Laudes II is said, the 1st psalm is always the penitential Psalm 50. The posture for the Oratio (Collects) is changed from standing to kneeling. On all Wednesdays and Fridays of the ferial office, additional prayers called Preces (Prayers) are said at ad Laudes and ad Vesperas before the concluding Oratio (Collects).
The Sundays of Advent are 1st Class.
The ferial days of Advent are 3rd class until December 16th, 2nd class between December 17th and December 23rd. The Vigil of Christmas, December 24th is 1st Class. The other seasons with 3rd Class ferial days are Lent and the first week of Passiontide.
During Advent, 1st, 2nd and 3rd Class Feasts take precedence over 3rd Class ferial days and 1st and 2nd Class Feasts over 2nd and 3rd Class ferial days. If the Office of the day is that of a Feast, the Season of Advent is commemorated both at ad Laudes and ad Vesperas. Commemoration consists in saying the Benedictus antiphon (ad Laudes) or the Magnificat antiphon (ad Vesperas), followed by the Versiculum (Versicle) and the Oratio (Collects).
Advent has its own Common. The same Invitatorium (Invitatory), Capitulum (Chapter), Hymnus (Hymn), Responsorium(Response), Versiculus (Versicle) are used every day when the office of the Season is said. At ad Matutinum, the 3 Lessons are taken from the prophet Isaiah.
On Sundays, the same five antiphons are used for the psalmody of the psalms for ad Vesperas I (1st Vespers), ad Laudes and ad Vesperas II. The same antiphons (1-4) are used for four of the minor Hours (ad Primam, ad Tertiam ad Sextam and ad Nonam) of that particular Sunday and the ferial days of the following week. Each day has its proper antiphon for the Benedictus and Magnificat.
These features are common to the whole Season.
For the ferial days of the 2nd Class between December 17 and 23rd, there are proper antiphons for the psalmody of the psalms of ad Laudes. The “O” antiphons for the Magnificat proper to these days take precedence over any other antiphons.
This season also includes Quator Temporum (Ember days), occurring after the 3rd Sunday of Advent. Quator Temporum takes place four times each year.
2. Christmas-tide – the Season of Christmas (From 12-24-2020 to 1- 5-2021)
The other common feature of the two parts of the Season Throughout the Year is their variable length. This is due to the fact that Easter is a mobile Feast, i. e., not falling on the same calendar day every year. For each year, the date of Easter Sunday determines the dates of both Septuagesima Sunday (marking the end of the time of Sundays after Epiphany) and Trinity Sunday (marking the beginning of the time of Sundays after Pentecost.) Since the number of days from Septuagesima Sunday to Trinity Sunday is the same each year, the total number of Sundays of the Season Throughout the Year is approximately the same each year, either 29 or 30. The variation is due to the date for the First Sunday of Advent. There can be no more than 6 Sundays after Epiphany, nor less than 23 Sundays after Pentecost. Some or all of the Sundays not celebrated after Epiphany are simply transferred to the time of Sundays after Pentecost, between the 23rd Sunday and the last Sunday after Pentecost. Those Sundays not celebrated after Epiphany are simply transferred to the time of Sundays after Pentecost, between the 23rd Sunday and the last Sunday after Pentecost. If this transfer occurs, the Propers for the Benedictus and Magnificat antiphons for the Divine Office and for the Mass, the Collect, Secret, Post-communion prayer, Lesson and Holy Gospel are taken from the Sundays after Epiphany The Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory and Communion antiphons are taken from the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost.
This year there will be 25 Sundays after Pentecost. November 22nd l is last Sunday after Pentecost
It beings with the 1st Vespers of the 1st Sunday of Advent and it ends before the 1st Vespers of Christmas. Although there are four weeks in Advent, its length is variable, depending upon the number of weekdays after the 4rh Sunday of Advent until December 24th.
As a preparatory Season for Christmas, Advent has some penitential features. There is no Te Deum at the end of ad Matutinum on Sundays and ferial days. On ferial days during the week, ad Laudes II is said. When ad Laudes II is said, the 1st psalm is always the penitential Psalm 50.

If the Office of the day is that of a Feast, the Season of Advent is commemorated both at ad Laudes and ad Vesperas. Commemoration consists in saying the Benedictus antiphon (ad Laudes) or the Magnificat antiphon (ad Vesperas), followed by the Versiculum (Versicle) and the Oratio (Collects).
Advent has its own Common. The same Invitatorium (Invitatory), Capitulum (Chapter), Hymnus (Hymn), Responsorium(Response), Versiculus (Versicle) are used every day when the office of the Season is said. At ad Matutinum, the 3 Lessons are taken from the prophet Isaiah.
On Sundays, the same five antiphons are used for the psalmody of the psalms for ad Vesperas I (1st Vespers), ad Laudes and ad Vesperas II. The same antiphons (1-4) are used for four of the minor Hours (ad Primam, ad Tertiam ad Sextam and ad Nonam) of that particular Sunday and the ferial days of the following week. Each day has its proper antiphon for the Benedictus and Magnificat.
These features are common to the whole Season.
For the ferial days of the 2nd Class between December 17 and 23rd, there are proper antiphons for the psalmody of the psalms of ad Laudes. The “O” antiphons for the Magnificat proper to these days take precedence over any other antiphons.

2. Christmas-tide – the Season of Christmas (From 12-24-2020 to 1- 5-2021)
The other common feature of the two parts of the Season Throughout the Year is their variable length. This is due to the fact that Easter is a mobile Feast, i. e., not falling on the same calendar day every year. For each year, the date of Easter Sunday determines the dates of both Septuagesima Sunday (marking the end of the time of Sundays after Epiphany) and Trinity Sunday (marking the beginning of the time of Sundays after Pentecost.) Since the number of days from Septuagesima Sunday to Trinity Sunday is the same each year, the total number of Sundays of the Season Throughout the Year is approximately the same each year, either 29 or 30. The variation is due to the date for the First Sunday of Advent. There can be no more than 6 Sundays after Epiphany, nor less than 23 Sundays after Pentecost. Some or all of the Sundays not celebrated after Epiphany are simply transferred to the time of Sundays after Pentecost, between the 23rd Sunday and the last Sunday after Pentecost. Those Sundays not celebrated after Epiphany are simply transferred to the time of Sundays after Pentecost, between the 23rd Sunday and the last Sunday after Pentecost. If this transfer occurs, the Propers for the Benedictus and Magnificat antiphons for the Divine Office and for the Mass, the Collect, Secret, Post-communion prayer, Lesson and Holy Gospel are taken from the Sundays after Epiphany The Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Offertory and Communion antiphons are taken from the 23rd Sunday after Pentecost.
This year there will be 25 Sundays after Pentecost. November 22nd l is last Sunday after Pentecost
As a preparatory Season for Christmas, Advent has some penitential features. There is no Te Deum at the end of ad Matutinum on Sundays and ferial days. On ferial days during the week, ad Laudes II is said. When ad Laudes II is said, the 1st psalm is always the penitential Psalm 50. The posture for the Oratio (Collects) is changed from standing to kneeling. On all Wednesdays and Fridays of the ferial office, additional prayers called Preces (Prayers) are said at ad Laudes and ad Vesperas before the concluding Oratio (Collects).
The Sundays of Advent are 1st Class.
The ferial days of Advent are 3rd class until December 16th, 2nd class between December 17th and December 23rd. The Vigil of Christmas, December 24th is 1st Class. The other seasons with 3rd Class ferial days are Lent and the first week of Passiontide.
