May 2021 Ordo

 May is another busy month with Sts. Philip  and James starting off, following by the finding of the Holy Cross, then the Rogation Days, Ascension and Pentecost, and their Octaves. While busy, this month is somewhat more straightforward than April. A couple notes:

1. If you are unable to attend a Rogation day procession, the Litany, preces, and collect are said as on p. *116.

2. The very last day of the month, Monday May 31 is the day after Trinity Sunday and thus the first full blown feria in a while. On this day, you will need to switch back to the Suffrage of All Saints instead of the Commemoration of the Holy Cross.

3. Octave-tide is just around the corner!
