Genuflection at tomorrow's Mass of the Annunciation

[SenorHorace]

**As to the color of sacred vestments, the traditional usage is to be retained: namely,
**
White is used in the Offices and Masses during the Easter and Christmas seasons; also on celebrations of the Lord other than of his Passion, of the Blessed Virgin Mary, of the Holy Angels, and of Saints who were not Martyrs; on the Solemnities of All Saints (1 November) and of the Nativity of Saint John the Baptist (24 June); and on the Feasts of Saint John the Evangelist (27 December), of the Chair of Saint Peter (22 February), and of the Conversion of Saint Paul (25 January).

White it is.

We are in Lent. That’s why the ordo correctly specifies **violet **(Vi) for the Annunciation of the Lord. If it took place outside of Lent the color would have indeed been white. I challenge you to go take a look at your parish’s ordo and to compare it against your understanding of the GIRM. You’ll realize that “violet it is.”

Fr. Peter D. Rocca, CSC got it right.

Can you point that out in the Ordo? Further more, which province are you in? A Solemnity supercedes the Lenten season in this case. Thus, last week, the color was white for St. Joseph and yesterday’s was white.

Yesterday was the Annunciation of the Lord. As others noted it’s not a holy day of obligation in the USA.

The Ascension of the Lord is and at least in my diocese it’s celebrated on Sunday, May 24.

NB: My current Ordo (the official one for use in my ecclesiastical province) – The Order of Prayer in the Liturgy of the Hours and Celebration of the Eucharist 2009 compiled by Fr. Peter D. Rocca, CSC and printed by the Paulist Press correctly specifies the vestment color violet (Vi) for the Annunciation of the Lord.

Your “PV” had it right.

Repeating the same error over and over again isn’t going to make it true.

While we were still a part of the Diocese of Corpus Christi (nine years ago), the new Ordinary was installed as bishop. This happened on March 17, 2009, right in the middle of Lent. Guess what color he and the concelebrants wore: white.

There are exceptions, then, where white can be worn instead of purple. Even funeral Masses have the celebrant using white (although, I much prefer purple or black). If we were to hold the line of reasoning regarding Lent (and Advent, for that matter), why does the Church allow for the use of white/gold vestments for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception (right in the middle of Advent) and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadaupe (also smack dab in the middle of Advent)? Think about it.
