    Forgive my ignorance, but why is this rare?

    I don't think the 10th Sunday (or 9th and 11th) occur that often. Only every 6-9 years, or something like that.

    The earlier that Easter falls in the calendar year, the more likely you will have 9, 10, 11, but the later that Easter falls, the less likely (because, let's say, before Lent you could get Sundays 2-8, since you are coming off of the fixed date of Christmas with its season). Next year will be so different than this year in that respect since Easter is much later! It is the most interesting because when you return to Ordinary time, the two Sunday Solemnities would take precedence over the 9th and 10th Sundays, so you wouldn't actually celebrate the 9th and 10th Sundays of OT, for example. (I hope that makes sense...)

    This was a victim of the notion of Ordinary Time, in which those Sundays, sometimes several were skipped. The Gregorian propers for these days are wonderful, and a loss.

    Ally, that makes perfect sense. There are some big feast days after Easter, and they are all Sundays, except Sacred Heart, which is a Friday. It makes complete sense now why the 10th Sunday of OT would be rare. Thank you!

    Now I know why the reading from Galatians on Sunday was so unfamiliar to me: St. Paul's trip to Arabia after his conversion, and his wait of three years before meeting Peter and James. With an average of 6 to 7 years between occurrences of Sunday 10, it might be around 20 years to cover the A,B,C cycle, including its readings and unique propers.
