The feast of the day

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.

We are in the Fifth Week of Eastertide — the Church wears white.

Fifty days of joy celebrating the Resurrection — the longest feast of the year, from Easter Sunday through Pentecost. Today keeps no feast — just the ordinary, unhurried rhythm of the week.
