Dear Viktor,
In the Psalter, we will use week II beginning Jan. 2nd. The readings, antiphons for Zechariah’s Canticle and the Magnificat, and the intercessions are found in the front of the prayer book, where it says, “From January 2 to Epiphany.”

I have the CBP edition, so can’t give you page numbers, but:
2-Jan is the Memorial of Saints Basil the Great and Gregory Nazianzen, bishops and doctors of the Church.
You may take psalms from Psalter Week II.
(For later in the week, there should be a section in the Proper of Seasons for days between 2-Jan and Epiphany)

There are a number of “memorials” for saints on different days during the Christmas Season, but a memorial celebration is not obligatory. If one is devoted to any of these saints, it would be a devotional preference of the individual to use the concluding prayer found on these particular days. For instance, if your parish is named St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, and you regularly ask her intercession in prayer, you may wish to use it.

The General Roman Calendar consists of both optional *and *obligatory memorials (as well as other ranks). There are also more specific calendars according to country, diocese and even down to the parish level (eg, the patronal feast of a parish may be celebrated with greater solemnity in that parish than in neighboring parishes. A parish may also celebrate the anniversary of its dedication as a church).
In the coming week, obligatory memorials are:

I was having so much trouble with my breviarythat I put it on a shelf and forgot about it until I came across **‘The Divine Office for Dodos’ - by Madeline Pecora Nugent’. ** This very user friendly book helped me solve all of my problems with the breviary.

Dear Viktor,
I have the same breviary as yours, so you will find the instructions for Solemnities, Feasts, and Memorials in the very front of your book. As Tee mentioned, there are three obligatory Memorials, but the only “proper” part is the concluding prayer.
When there is a Proper of Seasons, such as we are celebrating now for Christmas, this takes precedence during weekdays. In other words, you will not be using the *Common of Saints *for these Memorials, but rather the section for January 2 - Epiphany, as I explained previously.
Even if there is a Memorial during *Ordinary Time, *only the concluding prayer is “proper” and one does not need to use the Common of Saints, but may pray the regular weekday psalter.
With Feasts and Solemnities, however, we are to use the assigned readings.
I hope we have not confused you. The calendar link from “Tee_eff_em” is useful for the priests who use the Sacramentary, but it does not instruct us about the breviary, other than to allude on page 4 that the Proper of Seasons is to be used, “even on days which a memorial or optional memorial of a saint occurs.”
