Blue = An OF Lenten reading that is present in the EF, but not during Lent (i.e. during other times of the year, or in the Commons, votive and ritual Masses, etc.). Bold and italics indicate the same as above. Blue underlined = An OF Lenten reading that is not present in the EF at all. = the day in the OF Lenten cycle that a reading (same or similar) in the EF has been transferred to. Ordinary Form
