Hello all!

Re: Need Help with 1962 Baronius Press Roman Missal (1962)

I purchased the Baronius Press Roman Missal (supposedly a “daily” missal according to the title) for Lent to become familiar with the traditional mass. However I am confused as to where the daily readings are for the weekdays outside of Lent and Easter. I have flipped forward through the book and it skips the weekdays and goes from Sunday to Sunday…eg. Fifteenth Sunday After Pentecost …then…Sixteenth Sunday After Pentecost. I know there are daily masses happening between these Sundays…so where do I find those readings in the Missal?? There seem to be similar gaps throughout the year as well. I am new to the traditional mass so perhaps I am missing something??

My Midwest Theological Forum Daily Roman Missal for the new mass has every single day in consecutive order throughout all the seasons. So naturally I am confused while studying the 1962 Roman Missal.

Hi Mike!
In the Extraordinary Form, the Mass of the Day is either the same as the preceding Sunday or is celebrating a Saint (or it can be a Votive Mass - but that’s up to the priest if I’m not mistaken), so there aren’t any proper prayers or readings for weekdays.
Hope that helps!

Oh wow! I had already guessed the saint days played a major role in the weekdays since nothing else was present. So theoretically…if there is no celebration, saint, etc. for an entire week… the Sunday Mass is repeated every single day??
 
Exactly! the only difference is that the Gloria and Credo wouldn’t be said. There are certain variations, though, as the liturgical seasons change: like today: Psalm 42 is not said from Passion Sunday (yesterday) until Triduum.
