THE PERSONAL ORDINARIATE

OF OUR LADY OF WALSINGHAM

Today is the beginning of The Season of Passiontide.

While The General Roman Calendar no longer mentions Passiontide, explicitly, the proper Preface to The Eucharistic Prayer, the choice of Hymns in The Divine Office, and the practice of Veiling Crosses and images, bear witness to it.

In The Ordinariate Calendar, the Title of Passion Sunday

is restored to The Fifth Sunday of Lent, so we can 

unapologetically begin our Commemoration

of The Lord’s Passion.
