Sorry for the hiatus from posting Gregorian chants of the Masses; the reason was there was no recordings online for the Sundays after Epiphany (save for the 3rd Sunday).

From The Missal According to the Carmelite Rite in Latin and English for Every Day in the Year (Rome: Vatican Polyglot Press, 1953), here is the ceremony of sprinkling of holy water before the principal Mass, wherein the antiphon Sancte Deus, which harkens back to the ancient Trisagion, is chanted instead of the antiphon Asperges from Septuagesima Sunday until Palm Sunday inclusive: one beautiful rubric peculiar to the Carmelite Rite.

Here is a commentary upon the Parable of the Laborers in the Vineyard, which constitutes the Gospel lesson of the Mass for Septuagesima Sunday, taken from the work of Rev. Fr. Charles J. Callan, O. P., The Parables of Christ: With Notes for Preaching and Meditation, (New York: Joseph F. Wagner, Inc., 1940).

The text of the Sacred Gospel is taken from The New Testament of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ Translated into English from the Original Greek by the Very Rev. Francis Aloysius Spencer, O.P., edited by Charles J. Callan, O.P. and John A. McHugh, O.P. (New York: MacMillan, 1937)

Whilst the Latin Occident commemorated the commencement of Septuagesima, the Greek Church keeps this Sunday as that of the Prodigal Son, on account of the Gospel lesson relating that beautiful parable. From the work authored by the Most Rev. Joseph Raya, Archbishop of Aka, Haifa, Nazareth and all Galilee, together with Baron José de Vinck, Byzantine Daily Worship: With Byzantine Breviary, the Three Liturgies, Propers of the Day and Various Offices (Allendale, NJ: Alleluia Press, 1969), here are the proper texts for this Sunday.

Note the beauty of these texts, and how they inspire sentiments of penance and filial abandonment before the harrowing and soul-crushing acknowledgement of the sincere penitent.
