*Note in the Missal on the number of Sundays after Pentecost:

If there are more than twenty-four Sundays after Pentecost in any particular year, then after the 23rd
Sunday one continues with the Sunday Masses that did not occur after Epiphany in that year (depending on
how early or late Ash Wednesday was); on these "extra" Sundays at the end of the liturgical year, one uses
the readings and prayers of the Masses for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and/or 6th Sundays after Epiphany; but the year
always ends with the 24th Sunday after Pentecost.

**These Commons have multiple other “alternate” readings suggested that merely reference a reading
already in the Propers. It is unclear when these would be used, perhaps for local calendars. It should be also
noted that, in the Proper of Saints, there are some feasts in the Missal (especially for the Doctors) where the
readings are written out in full, even though, upon further investigation, they are identical to the readings of
the Common. These are not listed repeated here, as those lessons are already listed in the Commons.
However, when only one of the lessons for a feast was truly Proper and the other was Common (as
sometimes happens), both have nevertheless been given.

***This feast has been superseded by another being placed on the same day, but for its antiquity it is still
given in the Missal and has proper readings of its own. It may be used for a votive private Mass, or
sometimes even two Conventual Masses were said.
