The feast of the day

No feast is kept today

An ordinary day in Ordinary Time

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.

The season

Ordinary Time

We are in the Twenty-fourth Week of Ordinary Time — the Church wears green.

The long, green stretch between the great seasons — the everyday of faith, where most of the Christian life is actually lived. Today keeps no feast — just the ordinary, unhurried rhythm of the week.
