Coming to their senses?

Orange diocese’s Office for Worship now says readings for celebrations of the Tridentine Mass will not come from the Novus Ordo lectionary

Many had previously read of the Diocese of Orange (Bishop Tod Brown) alerting the faithful that, in order to be "united in heart and mind around a single proclamation of God’s word", the new lectionary would be used for celebrations of the Mass when using the MIssal of 1962. Some of us, naturally, were perplexed by this dubious statement.

Well, it seems that someone at the diocese may have received a bit of an education and come to his/her senses, if that's possible.

...a July 20 memorandum from Lesa Truxaw, director of the diocese’s Office for Worship, said readings in diocesan celebrations of the Tridentine Mass would not come from the new lectionary.

“After September 14, the Exhalation [sic] of the Holy Cross,” said the memorandum, “when the Motu Prioprio [sic] becomes effective and when the forma extraordinaria is celebrated, the calendar of the Missal of Blessed John XXIII along with the readings contained in the Missal should be used until such time that the Ecclesia Dei Commission gives further direction.”

"Exhalation"? The excerpt above should be cause for finding a new director for the Office of Worship. Who, in his (or her) right mind, as director of a diocesan office of worship and liturgy, would not know of the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross? One wonders, if in fact, the Motu Proprio was even read by the director?

We should continue to pray for the faithful of the Diocese of Orange.
