Reminder about the calendar: The calendars of religious and analogous institutes such as the Society of Saint Pius X are governed by particular regulations; they follow the universal calendar and include three observances of the diocesan calendars: the primary patron of the place or diocese, the feast of the dedication of the diocesan cathedral, and local holy days of obligation. (Cf. Rubricae generales, 35-47, 148-157, and 274-284).
In some places, Our Lady of Guadalupe is the primary patron; see Local info below. For more information on calendar observances see Calendar in Rubrical FAQs at the bottom of the page.

Ad Matutinum
Lectio III
Mexici, in colle Tepeyacensi, anno millesimo quingentesimo trigesimo primo Deipara Virgo Maria Ioanni Didaco neophyto, uti pie traditur, sese videndam præbuit, eique ad antistitem Ioánnem de Zumarraga mandatum dedit, quod et instanter iteravit, de æde sibimet inibi construenda. Episcopus vero signum expetiit. Mox neophytum patruo morituro sacramenta longinquius ab apparitionis loco quærentem, tertio visu dignatur alma Mater, de patrui sanitate serenat, rosasque extra tempus obortas, in eius pallio compositas, ad episcopum deferri iubet. Cuius in conspectu rosis effusis, Mariæ imago, ipsi pallio impressa, uti traditur, mirum in modum præsentibus apparuit. Quæ in sacello episcopali primum asservata, dein ad exstructam ædem in colle Tepeyacensi translata, denique in magnifico templo excepta est, quo turmatim plebes Mexicanæ magis magisque convenire cœperunt, venerationis gratia et frequentiæ miraculorum. Ideoque tamquam præsentissimum præsidium Mexicani antistites, universo populo plaudente, beatam Virginem Mariam de Guadalupe in primariam Patronam gentis Mexicanæ elegerunt, quod Benedictus decimus quartus apostolica auctoritate rite confirmavit. Leo tertius decimus sacram effigiem aurea corona, Columbi recurrente die, anno millesimo octingentesimo nonagesimo quinto per Mexicanum archiepiscopum decoravit. Sanctus vero Pius decimus beatam Virginem Guadalupensem universæ Americæ Latinæ Patronam declaravit.
Ad Laudes
V. Omnis terra adoret te, et psallat tibi.
R. Psalmum dicat nomini tuo.
Ad Bened. ant. Quasi arcus * refulgens inter nebulas gloriae, et quasi flos rosarum in diebus vernis.
Oratio
Deus, qui sub beatissimae Virginis Mariae singulari patrocinio constitutos perpetuis beneficiis nos cumulari voluisti: praesta supplicibus tuis; ut, cuius hodie commemoratione laetamur in terris, eius conspectu perfruamur in caelis. Per Dominum.
Ad Vesperas
V. Non fecit taliter omni nationi.
R. Et iudicia sua non manifestavit eis.
Ad Magnif. ant. Leva in circuitu * oculos tuos et vide: omnes isti congregati sunt, venerunt tibi: filii tui de longe venient, et filiae tuae de latere surgent.
