The Bishops of England and Wales have transferred the Feast of the Ascension to Sunday, 12 May.

However, there will also be a Sung Latin Mass (Usus Antiquior) for the Traditional Feast of the Ascension on Thursday, 9 May, at 8 P.M., for those who wish to go. It is not a Holyday of Obligation.

A similar arrangement will be made for the Feast of Corpus Christi on 30 May 2013, at 8 P.M.

More details about these Masses, and other Services at Blackfen, can be found on the OUR LADY OF THE ROSARY WEB-SITE, where directions to the Church can also be found.

Mary stood at the foot of the Cross, where Jesus was hanging (Introit, Gradual, Alleluia, Sequence, Gospel), and, as Simeon had prophesied (Collect), a sword of sorrow pierced her Soul (Secret).

Powerless, "she saw her sweet child desolate in the anguish of death, and she received His last breath" (Sequence). The compassion, which her maternal heart felt at the foot of the Cross, obtained for her as its reward the palm of martyrdom without death (Communion).

This Feast was celebrated with great solemnity by the Servites in the 17th-Century. In 1817, it was extended by Pope Pius VII to the whole Church, so as to recall the sufferings she (the Church) had undergone in the person of her exiled and captive head (Pope Pius VII), delivered by the protection of the Blessed Virgin.

Just as the first Feast of the Sorrows of Mary, in Passiontide, shows us how she had her share in the sacrifice of Jesus, the second Feast, in the Season after Pentecost, tells us of all the compassion which the Mother of the Saviour feels for the Church, the spouse of Jesus, who is crucified in her turn and whose devotion to the Sorrows of Mary increases in these calamitous times. 

His Holiness, Pope Saint Pius X, in 1908 raised this Feast to the rank of a Solemnity of the Second Class.
