Today is SEPTUAGESIMA - Therefore some people reading this blog went to Mass today and the priest was wearing Green and some went and the priest was wearing purple. There are some big differences between the Modern Roman Liturgy and the Usus Antiquior.
If you are reading my blog and want me to explain the differences I must direct you to the experts:
The New Liturgical Movement - Pre-Lent
[[Update]]: Another good explanation is by Fr. Acervo:
Fr. Acervo - Septuagesima
One of the reasons I am such a fan of the Usus Antiquior is because of how much history, tradition, and MEANING exists within the older Rite. The concept of Pre-lent is that there is a transition from ordinary time into Lent, and the period is preparatory.
For the readings from the Tridentine Rite please see:
