The 1962 Missal Epistle and Gospel for the 12th Sunday after Pentecost

EPISTLE
2 Corinthians 3: 4-9

Brethren: Such confidence we have through Christ towards God. Not that we are sufficient to think anything of ourselves, as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is from God. Who also hath made us fit ministers of the new testament, not in the letter, but in the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit quickeneth. Now if the ministration of death, engraven with letters upon stones, was glorious, so that the children of Israel could not steadfastly behold the face of Moses, for the glory of his countenance, which is made void: how shall not the ministration of the spirit be rather in glory? For if the ministration of condemnation be glory, much more the ministration of justice aboundeth in glory.

GOSPEL
Luke 10: 23-37

At that time, Jesus said to His disciples: Blessed are the eyes that see the things which you see. For I say to you, that many prophets and kings have desired to see the things that you see, and have not seen them; and to hear the things that you hear, and have not heard them. And behold a certain lawyer stood up, tempting Him, and saying: Master, what must I do to possess eternal life? But He said to him: What is written in the law? how readest thou? He answering, said: Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with thy whole heart, and with thy whole soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself. And He said to him: Thou hast answered rightly: this do, and thou shalt live. But he, willing to justify himself, said to Jesus: And who is my neighbour? And Jesus answering, said: A certain man went down from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell among robbers, who also stripped him, and having wounded him went away, leaving him half dead: and it chanced that a certain priest went down the same way, and seeing him, passed by. In like manner also a Levite, when he was near the place and saw him, passed by. But a certain Samaritan being on his journey, came near him, and seeing him, was moved with compassion, and going up to him, bound up his wounds, pouring in oil and wine; and setting him upon his own beast, brought him to an inn, and took care of him: and the next day he took out two pence, and gave to the host, and said: Take care of him, and whatsoever thou shalt spend over and above, I, at my return will repay thee. Which of these three, in thy opinion, was neighbour to him that fell among robbers? But he said: He that shewed mercy to him. And Jesus said to him: Go and do thou in like manner.

Sunday ping

I think it's different today because of the Feast of the Immaculate Heart, right?

[AAABEST]

Now I'm not sure. Una Voce has the twelfth Sunday (above) up for this week, but the Fr. at our Chapel was following what must have been the feast you mention. I had meditated on what's posted here before going so I'm a bit clueless.

If anyone could straighten me out I'd appreciate it.

[Land of the Irish]

My calendar, for the day of August 22, 2004, states:

Twelfth Sunday
after Pentecost-G (II)
The Immaculate
Heart of Mary-W (I)
Sts. Timothy, Hippolytus
& Symphorianus
Marytrs-R (Comm.)

[AAABEST]

Forgive my cluelessness Loti, but I don't know what those abbreviations stand for.

Which is it?

[Land of the Irish]

I think the letters, G,W,R stand for the vestment colors of the priest who offers the Mass; gold, white, red.

I think the I and II stand for Class of Feast Day, i.e., First Class, Second Class.

[pascendi]

Shoot; now I'm really confused. They did exactly what you have posted, Best.

[AAABEST]

Shoot; now I'm really confused. They did exactly what you have posted, Best.

lol. You should have seen me scratching my head and leafing throught the missal today.

This is what I'm guessing due to the info from Loti and what we encountered:

The mass I attended was the Feast of the Immaculate Heart, which was a high-mass. The Fr. wore white.

I'm guessing your Fr. was wearing green, which would reconcile Loti's chart.

[Grey Ghost II]

Both the 12th Sunday after Pentecost and the Feast of the Immaculate Heart of Mary are second class feasts. Any feast day of our Lord (which the 12th Sunday after Pentecost is) trumps a feast of the Blessed Mother. Long story short, you posted the corrct readings.

[Robert Drobot]

A thankful prayer for your efforts. May the Holy Ghost continue to inspire you to perform these works in His Name.

[Grey Ghost II]

Twelfth Sunday after Pentecost-G (II) The Immaculate Heart of Mary-W (I)

The SSPX calendar has them both as second class feasts.

[Land of the Irish]

You are correct. I mistyped:

The Immaculate
Heart of Mary-W (I)

=

The Immaculate
Heart of Mary-W (II)

[AAABEST]

The SSPX calendar has them both as second class feasts.

Heh. Just when I thought I had this down.

Does whether or not it's a first or second class feast have anything to do with whether it's a high or low mass?

[Grey Ghost II]

Does whether or not it's a first or second class feast have anything to do with whether it's a high or low mass?

Don't think so. But I think it may determine what type of high Mass you may have.

[lightman]

G = Green

Even in older calendar rubrics very few festivals take precedence over Sundays, although during "green seasons" Sunday precedence is somewhat lower than during the Festal cycles.

[Land of the Irish]

G = Green

Thanks. In hindsight, I only recall gold vestments during Benediction.

[lightman]

I've seen Gold on Easter and through its Octave, also Christmas and special Dedication Anniversaries.

Una Voce has the twelfth Sunday (above) up for this week, but the Fr. at our Chapel was following what must have been the feast you mention.

First, I'm no expert on which propers to use at Mass. That said, I believe that what Grey Ghost II posted about the precedence (feasts of Our Lord take precedence over feasts of Our Lady) is correct.

Feasts in the 1962 calendar can be of the first class, second class, third class, or commemoration. (Some calendar reform was done in the 1950s.) When feasts of the same class fall on the same day, as happened yesterday, when the 12th Sunday after Pentecost and the Immaculate Heart of Mary both fell on August 22, then a feast of Our Lord takes precedence over a feast of Our Lady.

That rule of precedence being stated, I believe that if the Mass of the feast taking precedence has already been said, the priest may (I'm not sure about this) say the Mass of the feast with lesser precedence. Thus, if the Mass for the 12th Sunday after Pentecost has already been said, then the priest may say the Mass for the Immaculate Heart of Mary.

I've used the Catholic Time site, the Globusz.com pages explaining the Breviary, the Breviary entry in the Catholic Encyclopaedia, and the Reform of the Breviary entry in the Catholic Encyclopaedia in composing this post.

If anyone has more accurate information about this, I welcome corrections

[St.Chuck]

The mass I attended was the Feast of the Immaculate Heart, which was a high-mass. The Fr. wore white.

The old mass I attended yesterday had the priest wearing green and offering the 12th Sunday after Pentecost. The preceding Sunday the, 1st class Assumption of Mary trumped the 11th Sunday after Pentecost.

Feasts in the 1962 calendar can be of the first class, second class, third class, or commemoration. (Some calendar reform was done in the 1950s.) When feasts of the same class fall on the same day, as happened yesterday, when the 12th Sunday after Pentecost and the Immaculate Heart of Mary both fell on August 22, then a feast of Our Lord takes precedence over a feast of Our Lady.

I think Mike has it right.

So what gives? Is your SSPX priest introducing novelties? Better watch him. :o)
