PREACHING

There may be a sermon after the first gospel on the opening day. This sermon should not last ovrer half an hour.

If the second or third day is a Sunday or feast day, the parish priest standing at the railing, on the Grospel side, wearing a white stole, if he is in surplice, his head always uncovered, will make the ordinary announcements and publications and may add some words of exhortation. No veil is to be placed before the Blessed Sacrament during this time.
