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 Fourth Week of 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 keeps no feast — just the ordinary, unhurried rhythm of the week.
