The CALENDAR of the CHURCH YEAR according to the use of the

Society of St. John the Evangelist The Church Year consists of two cycles of Solemnities and Feasts: one is dependent upon the movable date of the Solemnity of the Sunday of the Resurrection: Easter Day; the other, upon the fixed date of December 25, the Solemnity of the Nativity of our Lord Jesus Christ: Christmas Day. Easter Day is always the first Sunday after the full moon that falls on or after March 21. It cannot occur before March 22 or after April 25. The sequence of all Sundays of the Church Year depends upon the date of Easter Day. But the Sundays of Advent are always the four Sundays before Christmas Day, whether it occurs on a Sunday or a weekday. The date of Easter also determines the beginning of Lent on Ash Wednesday, and the Solemnity of Ascension Day on a Thursday forty days after Easter Day. 1. SOLEMNITIES SOLEMNITIES of our Lord observed in the Calendar are the following: CHRISTMAS DAY Dec. 25 EASTER DAY The HOLY NAME Jan. 1 ASCENSION DAY The EPIPHANY Jan. 6 The DAY of PENTECOST The BAPTISM of CHRIST TRINITY SUNDAY The PRESENTATION Feb. 2 The BODY & BLOOD of CHRIST The SUNDAY of The SACRED HEART the TRANSFIGURATION The TRANSFIGURATION Aug. 6 The ANNUNCIATION Mar. 25 HOLY CROSS DAY Sept. 14 MAUNDY THURSDAY ALL SAINTS Nov. 1 GOOD FRIDAY CHRIST the KING HOLY SATURDAY SOLEMNITIES of Saints observed are the following: The VISITATION May 31 ST. MARY the VIRGIN Aug.15 The NATIVITY of ST. JOHN ST. MICHAEL the BAPTIST June 24 & ALL ANGELS Sept. 29 ST. PETER & ST. PAUL June 29 Solemnities ordinarily take precedence of any other day or observance. However, Solemnities appointed on fixed days in the Calendar, when they occur on a Sunday in Lent, on a Sunday of Easter Season or on Ascension Day, are transferred to the first convenient open day within the week. In addition, Solemnities appointed on fixed days in the Calendar, when they occur on the days of Holy Week or of Easter Week, are transferred to the week following the Second Sunday of Easter, in the order of their occurrence. Solemnities are observed with a First Evensong which takes precedence over Evensong of any other day except another Solemnity and the Sundays in Lent or of Easter.

7

2. Feasts All Sundays of the year (not already appointed as Solemnities of our Lord) are Feasts of our Lord. The other Feasts regularly observed throughout the year are the following: St. Andrew Nov. 30 St. Barnabas June 11 The Conception of the St. Mary Magdalene July 22 Blessed Virgin Mary Dec. 8 St. James & St. John July 25 St. Thomas Dec. 21 St. Bartholomew Aug. 24 St. Stephen Dec. 26 The Beheading of St. John Dec. 27 & May 6 St. John the Baptist Aug. 29 The Holy Innocents Dec. 28 The Nativity of the Richard Meux Benson Jan. 14 Blessed Virgin Mary Sept. 8 The Confession of St. Peter Jan. 18 St. Matthew Sept. 21 The Conversion of St. Paul Jan.25 St. Luke Oct. 18 St. Matthias Feb.24 St. James of Jerusalem Oct. 23 St. Joseph Mar. 19 St. Simon & St. Jude Oct. 28 St. Mark Apr. 25 All Souls Nov. 2 St. Philip & St. James May 1 Thanksgiving Day Feasts appointed on fixed days in the Calendar, when they occur on a Sunday, are transferred to the first convenient open day within the week. Feasts appointed on fixed days in the Calendar do not take precedence of Ash Wednesday. Feasts appointed on fixed days in the Calendar, when they occur on the days of Holy Week or of Easter Week, are transferred to the week following the Second Sunday of Easter, in the order of their occurrence. The Saturday Evensong preceding a Sunday/Feast of our Lord is regarded as the First Evensong of that Sunday/Feast. The other Feasts do not have a First Evensong. However, their Evensong takes precedence over the First Evensong of a Sunday/Feast, except those of the Sundays of Advent, in Lent and of Easter. 3. Lesser Feasts Lesser Feasts observed in the Calendar are listed below. The observance of Lesser Feasts is subject to the rules of precedence governing Solemnities and Feasts. Lesser Feasts are omitted when they occur on Solemnities and Feasts. However, on Ordinary Sundays a simple observance of a Lesser Feast may be made at the Eucharist (in the Prayers of the People and the Eucharistic Prayer) and at Evensong (in the Suffrages). Lesser Feasts which occur on Ash Wednesday, the days of Holy Week and of Easter Week are omitted. Lesser Feasts, which fall on the weekdays of Advent and Lent, are observed as Commemorations only.

8

Additionally, Saturdays during Ordinary Time (after the Epiphany and after the Day of Pentecost), which are unencumbered by any of the above observances, may be kept as Lesser Feasts of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Godbearer. (At Morning Prayer, the Invitatory Antiphon: Ordinary Time 2 and a Marian collect from the appendix (of Morning Prayer or of the Ordo) are used. At the Eucharist, Gloria in excelsis and Marian Collects of the Day and At the Prayers are used. Lessons may be those of the feria, or from the Common of the Blessed Virgin Mary.) 4. (Commemorations) (Commemorations), so indicated, are listed in the calendar below. Commemorations are normally observed at Noonday Prayer through a reading from writings by or about the person being commemorated, and by prayers reflecting his/her witness and concerns.

When appropriate, Commemorations may be marked at the Eucharist by use of the appointed Collect to conclude the Prayers of the People, or by simple mention in the Prayers themselves. Commemorations may also be observed in the Suffrages at Evening Prayer. 5. Days of Special Devotion The following days are observed by special acts of discipline and self-denial: Ash Wednesday and the other weekdays of Lent and Holy Week, except the Solemnity of the Annunciation. Good Friday and all the other Fridays of the year, in commemoration of the Lord's crucifixion, except for Fridays in the Christmas and Easter seasons, and any Solemnities which occur on a Friday. In addition, Ash Wednesday, Good Friday, and the four quarterly days of intercession (see Ember Days below) are kept as days of fasting. 6. Other Observances Subject to the rules of precedence governing Solemnities, Feasts and Lesser Feasts, the following days and occasions are also observed: The Ember Days, traditionally observed on the Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays after the First Sunday in Lent, the Day of Pentecost, Holy Cross Day and December 13. The Rogation Days, traditionally observed on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday before Ascension Day. The Various Occasions (traditionally called Votives) provided by the Prayer Book for special celebrations of the Eucharist. Votive Eucharists for the Departed (Requiems) are celebrated for members of the Society who have died in the given month. There shall be no celebration of the Eucharist for any of the Various Occasions on Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday and Holy Saturday.

ABOUT the DAILY OFFICE PSALTER

Chapter 18: The Daily Office from The Rule of the Society of Saint John the Evangelist

Each Eucharistic meal empowers us to approach God afresh in worship, united with Christ; Father Benson teaches us that “just as in Holy Communion we receive His substance into our bodies, so in the saying of our offices we bring forth the power of that substance, so that it may rise up to God.” The Daily Office is a sustained act of union with Christ by which we participate in his unceasing offering of love to the Father. In reciting the psalms, singing canticles and hymns, proclaiming the divine word in Scripture, or lifting our voices in prayer, we are to enter more and more into the mind, heart, and will of Christ, and to be borne up by the Spirit in him to the Father. Our praying of the psalter, which is the heart of the Daily Office, takes us ever deeper into the mystery of the incarnation; the psalms give voice to the whole range of human experience which Christ has embraced and redeemed as the Savior of the world. Although nothing essential is lacking when the office is said, we continue the tradition of our Society by singing whenever there are sufficient voices. As we sing and chant deep levels of our being are involved; our hearts are lifted up in greater exultation. And music enhances our worship with riches inherited from many ages. The Tables on the following pages outline two schemes for recitation of the Psalter as used in the Society’s praying of the Daily Office. The first is a four-week format from the community’s recently revised Office Book adapted to the current Monastery liturgical schedule. The second is a six-week format for Morning and Evening Prayer adapted to the current Emery House liturgical schedule. Both schemes use the Psalter text of the Book of Common Prayer 1979 and make provision for optional omissions of imprecatory verses from various psalms. These omissions, widely used in other monastic houses of hospitality, are adapted from “A Monastic Breviary” (Order of the Holy Cross). [Note: See the appendix for a psalm scheme in a four-week cycle arranged for four offices on each of the seven days of the week.]
