Ordo for June




The notes below provide a guide to the day hours for the Monastic Office as set out in the Monastic Diurnal (MD) and Antiphonale Monasticum (AM), according to the 1960 rubrics and General Calendar for the Benedictine Confederation.

The liturgical season in June this year is time throughout the year, and thus the default texts can be found in the psalter. The Magnificat antiphon for Saturday Vespers follows the Matins reading cycle, while the canticle antiphons on Sunday generally reflect those of the Sunday (EF) Mass Gospel cycle, hence are found in separate places in most Office books. For Sundays up to the end of July, both are labelled as for the relevant Sunday after Pentecost.

More detailed notes, including cross-references to the calendars for the Extraordinary Form Mass, selected national calendars, and calendars of selected monasteries, can be obtained by purchasing the Ordo through Lulu.
