March 2026 Ordo

For the time being, these Ordos will only include feasts from the Lancelot-Andrewes Press Monastic Diurnal. As always, I give the feasts found in the LAP diurnal that are found in (parentheses) the rank of Memorial unless there is strong reason to do otherwise. In March, there is an example of this. March 24 is the feast of St. Gabriel the Archangel and though no rank is listed, full propers are given for the feast. St. Gabriel had the rank of Greater Double in the Roman Calendar of 1054, so I have treated it likewise. 

My hope is to continue to publish a monthly Ordo in this fashion and to publish weekly, paginated Ordos for those using the LAP MD.
