Ordo Part I: Advent to Epiphany

Ordo for Liturgical Year A2

After a lengthy hiatus, we are pleased to bring you the Ordo for 2013-14. For a refresher on how to follow this table, see the Preface. In general, the readings are listed in the BAS; the collects etc. are in either the BAS (on Sundays), For All the Saints (upon memorials and commemorations), or the Gradual (daily mass for the dead and Our Lady's sabbaths). The "minor" propers (introit, gradual &c) are always found in the Anglican Gradual and Sacramentary. Principal feasts and holy days are noted in red.
