What vestment color for Vigil of the Ascension?

  • What vestment color for Vigil of the Ascension?

    My 1962 Missale Romanum is no help, neither is my 1962 Liber Usualis, and neither is my Traditional Catholic calendar (the one published by Bishop Zendejas).

    And I don't think Google can help me either. Google doesn't know everything; it's only as smart as the websites it contains. I don't know of any awesome Trad Liturgical resource/database website out there.

    Perhaps the Angelus calendar has the vestment color on each day? It's been a while since I've owned one of those.

    Also, where is the Mass for the "Vigil of the Ascension" in the Liber Usualis? Is it just the last Rogation day? The 1962 Missale Romanum has it, but the 1962 Liber does not. At least it's not called "Vigil of the Ascension".

    Can anyone help? I'm preparing for a Mass tomorrow.

  • My Missal has white vestments for both the Vigil of the Ascension and Ascension Thursday.

    The Mass for the Vigil is right before Ascension day in my missal and it's called Vigil of the Ascension.

    It also says: "Wednesday, the third day of the Rogation Days, is the Vigil of the Ascension"....
    "But Peter and the apostles answering, said: We ought to obey God, rather than men." - Acts 5:29

    Thanks.

    I found this for the Mass:

    http://missale.heliohost.org/vigascen.html

    But I still can't figure out where the Epistle/Gospel are taken from, to be used at the Vigil Mass.

    I guess all I need to worry about is the chant anyhow -- and all of that is from the 5th Sunday after Easter, it would appear.

    Gospel is John 17: 1-11
