Which Propers to Sing for St. Matthew - OF
  • Hello, all!

    Wondering - how do I determine which Propers I should sing for an Ordinary Form (Novus Ordo) Mass on 9.21 for the Feast of St. Matthew? Thanks!
  • 1a. Page 606 of the 1974 Graduale Romanum lists the following:

    • IN. Os iusti meditábitur
    • GR. Beátus vir qui timet
    • AL. Te gloriósus
    • OF. Posuísti, Dómine
    • CO. Magna est glória eius (version with verses available as a PDF)

    Some of the vernacular derivatives of the Graduale Romanum may have at least the introit, offertory, and communion of the day.

    1b. The Lectionary provides the Responsorial Psalm (instead of the Gradual) and the Verse before the Gospel (instead of the Alleluia) proper to the day.

    2. The Common of Apostles as found in the Graduale Simplex (pp. 339ff.) and its vernacular derivatives is another possible resource.
