NOTE: That if the bracketed Feasts in this Proper are to be observed, reference must made to the Supplement.

The Masses contained in this Proper, with the exceptions of those peculiar Mysteries of our Lord, or of Feasts of our Lady (unless otherwise noted), or those of St. Joseph on March 19th and of SS. peter and Paul, are also said as Votives.  But when they are so used, unless it be otherwise noted, after the Epistle, the Gradual with verse following or Tract, or, in Eastertide, the Alleluia, with its verse, when they are not contained in the Mass, are supplied from the appropriate Common.  But for Martyrs, in Eastertide, Mass 9, Protexisti, or Mass 10, Sancti tui, as the case may be, is said, with the Prayers, Lesson, and Gospel, from the Proper of the Saint.  However, in every Prayer the words on this day, yearly, etc., should be omitted wherever they occur, and the expressions birthday, festivity, changed to commemoration, memory.  Also, in place of the Introit Gaudeamus is said the Introit from the appropriate Common.  And the Alleluias are omitted out of Eastertide, when they have been added to the Introit, Offertory, and Communion on account of the Paschal Season.
