(243). The following
readings may be used on any day this week, especially in Years B and C when the
Gospel of Lazarus is not read on the Fifth Sunday of Lent: 2 Kgs 4:18b-21,
32-37/Jn 11:1-45 (250). If necessary, the
Chrism Mass may be celebrated on a suitable day before Holy Thursday. Nine readings are
assigned to the Easter Vigil: seven from the Old Testament and two from the
New. If circumstances demand in individual cases, the number of prescribed
readings may be reduced. Three selections from the Old Testament, both from the
Law and the Prophets, should be read before the Epistle and Gospel. In any
case, the reading from Exodus about the escape from the Red Sea (reading 3)
should never be omitted. Although not given
the title of Solemnity, “[t]he first eight days of Easter Time constitute the
Octave of Easter and are celebrated as Solemnities of the Lord” (Universal
Norms on the Liturgical year and the Calendar, no. 24). When the Ascension
of the Lord is celebrated on the following Sunday, the Second Reading and
Gospel from the Seventh Sunday of Easter (see no. 59) may be read on the Sixth
Sunday of Easter Ecclesiastical
