Ad Libitum--We will return to rehearsing the 3 part Ubi Caritas. This will likely need a couple more weeks to be ready. The Offertory is a bit long so we will likely only sing a communion motet this week along with the Salve Regina. Let's plan on reviewing Panis Angelicus--especially for our newest members.

As an aside, this week in the Traditional Calendar (1962)*, we observe the Michaelmas Ember Days. Perhaps we could all observe these in some small way with the intention of one day having freer celebration of the Traditional Latin Mass in our diocese. Here is an article explaining this lovely, ancient observance: https://www.cantius.org/post/post-crucem-ember-days-1

*the pre-55 Michaelmas Embertide is more closely connected to the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross which was last Monday. In 1960 Pope John XXIII revised the calculation of the September Ember Days to not only follow the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross but also AFTER the 3rd Sunday in September. Thus the current observance in the most recent Traditional Calendar.
