Pingback: TUESDAY EXTRA | Big Pulpit
I was just commenting to my sacristan on on Sunday that I wish we could do rose the whole of the weeks that follow a rose Sunday, but I dismissed the idea because I thought it would be a novelty not in keeping with tradition. I’m not going to go off and do it without permission, of course, but it is good to know that there is a precedent after all.
The Extraordinary Form Ordo published by the FSSP does not indicate rose as an option for any day this week other than Gaudete Sunday. Neither does the Fortescue/O’Connell/Reid Ceremonies, which clearly states: color rosaceus “may be used on two occasions, the third Sunday of Advent (called Gaudete Sunday) and the fourth of Lent (called Lætare Sunday).”
My older version of Fortescue (pre-1955 changes) does mention that rose vestments can be used on the Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday after Gaudete Sunday. That of course is assuming those days are not impeded by feast days, which all three of them are this week. On 12/12 is a day within the Octave of the Imm. Conc., 12/13 is Saint Lucy, and 12/15 is the Octave Day of the Imm. Concep (pre-1955 rubrics/calendar of course). Rose cannot be used on Wednesday, Friday, or Saturday because they are the Ember days and have their own proper Masses, at which the liturgical color is specifically violet, not rose.
My Fortescue (2nd edition, 1919) says (p. 253) “On the week-days after the third Sunday (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday), when the Mass is that of the Sunday, repeated, the colour is purple, the ministers wear dalmatic and tunicle, the organ is played.”
Fortescue, 8th Edition, 1949, pg. 244: “On the week-days after the third Sunday (Monday, Tuesday, Thursday), when the Mass is that of the Sunday, repeated, the colour may be rose, the ministers wear dalmatic and tunicle, the organ is played.”
I thought that the general rubrics limited it to Sunday, not the ferias, especially since these might be Greater Ferias. The ICRSS ordo also lists rose.
