O calendário de abril já foi publicado. Nós o incentivamos a observar e apreciar a riqueza da liturgia significativa das celebrações litúrgicas pré-1955, sua clareza e forma abrangente de apresentar - por meio das mãos do sacerdote - nossas orações ao Senhor, em unidade com todas as intenções e orações tradicionais que a Santa Madre Igreja nos instrui a recordar em todas as missas do mês. A liturgia pré-Bugnini é, sem dúvida, a melhor e mais coerente maneira de defender nossa fé católica tradicional nos dias de hoje.
This month, dedicated to Cristo, nosso Redentor, begins with the somber and solemn days of Holy Week with Spy Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, and Holy Saturday, in preparation for the glorious and triumphant Resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ on April 5. It is during Holy Week and Eastertide where the pre-1955 liturgy is notably different from subsequent revisions.
One significant difference of the pre-1955 calendar is the celebration of the Solemnity of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Patron of the Universal Church. This is a moveable feast with common octave, celebrated on the Wednesday following the 2nd Sunday after Easter (April 22 this year). Honoring St. Joseph under this title was discontinued in 1955 and replaced with a new feast day on the fixed date of May 1, under the title of St. Joseph the Worker.
In April our attention is also directed to the Blessed Virgin Mary, where the Church honors her under the title of Our Lady of Good Counsel (April 26). And for those who have made the consecration to Our Lady according to the True Devotion formula of St. Louis-Marie de Montfort, a plenary indulgence is granted for the recitation of the consecration prayer on his feast day, April 28.
