I almost forgot I was going to run into this scheduling "problem" for May 29. While the vast majority of the diocese in the United States will celebrate the Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord this Sunday, there will be a handful of provinces that will keep the traditional time of forty days after Easter, which is this Thursday. (I will never understand the rationale behind the transfer to the Sunday before Pentecost. Being a Holy Day of Obligation, I never had a problem assisting at Mass when it was on this weekday.)
Be that as it may, I have decided to post the readings for Ascension on Thursday, along with what else is permitted on the liturgical calendar. This Sunday will only have the readings for the Seventh Sunday of Easter. It's the best of both worlds, and you get extra Scripture to study.
Sounds like a good deal to me.
