I don't know why, but for some reason I seem to remember that there is not a Penitential Rite on All Souls. Is that correct? If it is, can someone direct me to the source?
Thanks.
I think you're thinking of the funeral Mass in the OF the sprinkling of the casket 'replaces' the penitential rite. I don't like it but that's beside the point. I wouldent think it applys to all souls
If so, it would exclude the Faure Requiem we are singing on that day! The Introit and Kyrie are part of the same movement (with the EF in mind, of course)
But we do the Faure as part of Vespers and Necrology, not a Mass. We do all of the Requiem up to the In Paradisum. Then read names of dead of the Diocese, then finish up with the In Paradisum and a closing prayer.
