Apologies for those who have sent inquiries to me offline; I thought it would be quickest to answer here.
This a quick note to reassure you that the Ordo for the next liturgical year will be available shortly.
Unfortunately I've been seriously ill for the last several months, so my ability to work on it remains intermittent, but I am in the final stages of proofreading, and am hoping to be able to release the PDF/ebook version by early next week, and the print version shortly thereafter.
As an interim measure, the full Ordo notes for December on the blog, but for a sample see below.
Ordo for 2023 features
As in previous years, the Ordo provides detailed notes on where to find texts for the variable parts of the Office each day; that is, it assumes you are familiar with the basic structure of the hours and the default texts set out in the psalter section of an Office book for the traditional Benedictine version of the Office.
The rubrics and calendar used are as for 1962 (as updated by decrees such as Cum Sanctissima), but this year I have included more detailed notes and cross references to feasts and days abolished in the 1950s and 60s that are being revived in many monasteries, such as I Vespers for Class II feasts, vigils, octaves and so forth.
Page references are to the Farnborough editions of the Monastic Diurnal (MD) and Antiphonale Monasticum (AM). **Indicates that texts for the feast are available in the 'some places' supplement at the end of the Diurnal.
