Second Week of Lent · 2026
A Ferial weekday in Lent. No feast or memorial is kept today — only the steady rhythm of the week, and the Mass given for the weekday.
No feast is kept today
An ordinary day in Lent
Most days of the year keep no feast or memorial — and that is not a gap. The Church simply prays the Mass of the weekday and keeps walking through the season. A good day to carry one quiet intention, and to let prayer be unhurried.
