Memorials which occur on a weekday in Lent may only be commemorated at Mass by using the Collect of the Saint in place of the Collect of the day. In the Office of Readings, the proper hagiographical reading and responsory may be added after the Patristic reading and responsory; the Collect of the Saint concludes the office. At Lauds and Vespers the antiphon (proper or common) and the Collect of the Saint may be added. On Sundays the Te Deum is omitted in the Office of Readings and the Gloria is omitted at Mass. But the Te Deum and the Gloria are said or sung on Solemnities, Feasts and in particular celebrations.
In the weekday office, the invitatory antiphon, the hymns for the Office of Readings and for Lauds and for Vespers, and the antiphon at the Middle Hour are taken from those prescribed for the liturgical time. The word Alleluia is always omitted, both in the Liturgy of the Hours and at Mass and in all forms of music until its solemn proclamation before the Gospel at the Easter Vigil. It is not permitted to decorate the altar with flowers, and the use of the organ and other musical instruments is allowed only to support the singing. Laetare 29
