Vespers: Here begins the Spring Volume of the Breviary. First Vespers of the following Sunday, Commemorations of St. John of God and of St. Frances of Rome, no Suffrage. From today through Holy Saturday, except only on Sunday afternoons, Vespers are sung before the main meal of the day (customarily this is taken at midday such that Vespers are sung in the late morning); this holds true even on feast days because every weekday of Lent is a fast day without exception in traditional practice.
