1962 Dominican Ordo for April and May 2010

Very overdue is my Dominican Rite 1962 Ordo for the Divine Office for April –which is almost over! – and May 2010, which covers the most holy Easter season, but here is it at last:

APRIL
1 – Thursday of the Lord's Supper ["Holy Thursday"] – I class
2 – Friday of the Lord's Passion and Death ["Good Friday"] – I
3 – Holy Saturday – I
4 – The Holy Day of Pascha ["Easter Sunday"] – I with Octave of the I class

9 – Friday in the Paschal Octave – I
10 – Saturday in the Paschal Octave – I
11 – Sunday in albis [when the neophytes laid aside their baptismal robes], the Octave of Easter – I
12 – Monday of the week after the Paschal Octave – IV (feria)

29 – St Peter [of Verona], O.P., M – II

As may be seen, the Dominican Calendar for April omits several Roman feasts (St Hermenegild, St Justin, SS Soter & Caius, St Fidelis of Sigmaringen, SS Cletus & Marcellinus, St Peter Canisius), but keeps several of its own (St Agnes of Montepulciano, the Crown of Thorns), and celebrates two Dominican saints as feasts of the second class.
