From my (limited) experience, the Transitus seems commonly nowdays to be done on October 3rd (the vigil of the feast) rather than October 4 (though I am aware of historical references to it being don…

It was part of the removal of the penitential elements from the procession (like the changing of the vestment colour from purple to white).

No comment on the DDW competency, but this reminded me of one of an old professor, an elderly and very-sharp (and quite well-known in his field) Roman canonist. He often claimed that the CDW would ig…

Every October/May, I introduce a Marian hymn as the recessional which "helps" the congregation to learn a new (and re-useable) hymn tune. So far in past years I have done:

I would argue that for the antiphons - whether spoken or sung - they should ALWAYS come from the Common or the Votive Mass. This follows from:
