Advent · 2026
A Ferial weekday in Advent. 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 Advent
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.

Advent
We are in the Advent — the Church wears violet.
A season of patient, watchful waiting — preparing the heart for the coming of Christ in the darkness of winter. Today it keeps the solemnity of Advent 1 Sunday.
