All Saints and All Souls 2021 Photopost (Part 2)

First of all, my apologies to everyone who sent these in for not getting this post done sooner; I was traveling for several days, and had less time to work on NLM than I thought I would. I am now back home, and will be more diligent about finishing, because we still have more contributions than we can convenient fit into one post, and so there will be yet another within this series (this week, I promise!) So we can still fit in some late submissions, if anyone would care to send them in to photopost@newliturgicalmovement.org, always remembering to include the name and location of the church, and any other information you think important. Keep up the good work of evangelizing through beauty!

Oratory of St Mary – Wausau, Wisconsin (ICRSP)
All Saints
Tradition will always be for the young!
All Souls
Dawson Chantry – Braes of Enzie, County of Moray, Scotland
Requiem Mass in the Ordinariate Rite, offered especially for the repose of the Catholic Dukes of Gordon who offered protection for the Church on their lands during penal times, and for the first Vicars Apostolic of Scotland, the first being Thomas Nicolson (1645-1718), who is buried in the graveyard beside the chantry chapel.
St Frances Cabrini Parish – Alexandria, Louisiana
Brothers of the Little Oratory – San Diego, California
On October 31, fourteen members of the Brothers of the Little Oratory in San Diego and Chorus Breviarii members from San Diego, Murrieta, and El Centro, gathered in San Diego’s historic Presidio Park and sang Second Vespers of Christ the King, with the commemoration of the following feast of All Saints, followed by Compline, in the overgrown ruins of the chapel of the 1769 Spanish presidio. (This was almost certainly the first religious service offered on the site of the chapel since its abandonment by the Spanish as a fortification in 1831.)
St Francis – Phelps, New York
St James – Waverly, New York
Low Mass
Our Lady of Mount Carmel – Newark, New Jersey

The Feast and Sunday of St John Climacus
In the Byzantine liturgy, each of the Sundays of Lent has a special commemoration attached to it. The first Sunday is known as the Sunday of Orthodoxy, because it commemorates the defeat of iconoclasm and the restoration of the orthodox belief in the use of icons; many churches have a procession in which the clergy and faithful carry the icons, as...

The Story of Susanna in the Liturgy of Lent
In the Roman Rite, the story of Susanna is read as the epistle of Saturday of the third week of Lent, the longest epistle of the entire year. This episode is not in the Hebrew text of Daniel, but in the manuscripts of the Septuagint, it appears as the beginning of the book, probably because in verse 45 Daniel is called a “younger man”, whic...

Do Priests or Religious Need Special Permission to Pray a Pre-55 Breviary?
On occasion, I receive an email like the following (in this case, from a seminarian): “Do you happen to know of any sources/authoritative references which you could point me to that explain why praying the Pre-55 Breviary definitely satisfies the canonical obligation for clerics or religious? As I am strongly desirous of the Pre-55 Liturgy, I ...
