There is a thread on "if and when" it is okay to steal (and what constitutes theft), do we need a thread on "if and when" it is okay to spread misinformation, also referred to lying?Without comment on the appropriateness or validity of his canonization, St. Jose Escriva de Balaguer's feast day is on June 26, the date of his death. It does not appear on my parish calendar so I presume that in the United States it is an optional memorial. Consulting the St. Andrew and St. Joseph daily missals (my copies both issued before the 1962 Missal, but with the 1959-1960 rubrics) they show February 27 as the 3rd. Class observance of St. Gabriel of our Lady of Sorrows, with the note that the observance is moved to February 28 in leap years. There is another note that if February 27 or 28 occurs during Lent the Mass is of the feria with a commemoration of St. Gabriel.No day is ignored by the Church. The St. Joseph missal has the following note:February 28 to March 3 - Mass of the Season. On Weekdays, Mass of the preceding Sunday ... or Mass of the B.V.M. on Saturday; in Lent, Mass of the feria. Also permitted: A Votive or Requiem Mass.
In case anyone checked the traditional calendar on the iPieta app, they show St. Gabriel's observance on both February 27 and 28, except on leap years when they list it on both February 28 and 29. This would seem to be a coding error with the app.
