GENERAL INSTRUCTION OF THE ROMAN MISSAL<br />

December 16, <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Christmas Season<br />

from January 2, and <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Easter<br />

Season after <strong>the</strong> Octave <strong>of</strong> Easter,<br />

Masses for Various Needs, Masses for<br />

Various Circumstances, and Votive<br />

Masses are as such forbidden. If,<br />

however, required by some real need or<br />

pastoral advantage, according to <strong>the</strong><br />

judgment <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> rector <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> church or<br />

<strong>the</strong> priest celebrant himself, a Mass<br />

corresponding to such a need or<br />

advantage may be used in a celebration<br />

with a congregation.<br />

377. On weekdays in Ordinary Time when<br />

<strong>the</strong>re is an optional Memorial or <strong>the</strong><br />

Office is <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> weekday, it is<br />

permissible to use any Mass or oration<br />

for various circumstances, though not<br />

from <strong>the</strong> Ritual Masses.<br />

378. It is especially recommended to<br />

celebrate <strong>the</strong> commemoration <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Blessed Virgin Mary on Saturday,<br />

because it is to <strong>the</strong> Mo<strong>the</strong>r <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

Redeemer in <strong>the</strong> Liturgy <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> Church<br />

that in <strong>the</strong> first place and before all <strong>the</strong><br />

Saints veneration is given. 145<br />
