Seventh Week of Eastertide · 2026

A Ferial weekday in Eastertide. 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 Eastertide

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.

Rita longed for religious life but married in obedience to her parents. After her husband and sons died, she entered the Augustinian convent and bore on her forehead the wound of a thorn from Christ's crown.
