4th classMonday after the 2nd Sunday after Epiphany
Commemoration of Saint Prisca, Virgin and Martyr
Feast shown for the year 2027; movable feasts can vary from year to year.
Today is a feria—a weekday without a specific saint’s feast—falling within the liturgical period after the Second Sunday after Epiphany. In this stretch of the Church’s year, the faithful are guided to meditate on the ongoing manifestation of Christ to the world, as celebrated in Epiphany and its octave, and its echo in the Sundays that follow. The liturgical color is green, symbolizing spiritual growth and ongoing conversion inspired by Christ's public ministry, which these weeks begin to unfold in the lectionary.
The weekdays after the Second Sunday after Epiphany provide an opportunity for quiet reflection on the mysteries revealed by Christ’s early signs and miracles, as shown in the Gospel accounts of this season. The Church does not set aside a particular saint or major event for veneration today, but rather invites the faithful to continue the prayerful spirit that permeates this segment of the calendar. This is a time to foster recollection and spiritual discipline, imitating the ordinary rhythms of Our Lord’s life, which inspire Christians to integrate what has been revealed during the great feasts into daily living.
On such ferial days, the Mass propers are typically drawn from the preceding Sunday, unless a votive Mass or a Mass for a particular need is chosen. The simplicity of these days underscores the importance of persevering in faith, outside of high feasts, learning from the calm and steady progress of Christ’s work in the world—encouraging all to seek holiness in the ordinary course of life.

Fratres: Habéntes donatiónes secúndum grátiam, quæ data est nobis, differéntes: sive prophetíam secúndum ratiónem fídei, sive ministérium in ministrándo, sive qui docet in doctrína, qui exhortátur in exhortándo, qui tríbuit in simplicitáte, qui præest in sollicitúdine, qui miserétur in hilaritáte. Diléctio sine simulatióne. Odiéntes malum, adhæréntes bono: Caritáte fraternitátis ínvicem diligéntes: Honóre ínvicem præveniéntes: Sollicitúdine non pigri: Spíritu fervéntes: Dómino serviéntes: Spe gaudéntes: In tribulatióne patiéntes: Oratióni instántes: Necessitátibus sanctórum communicántes: Hospitalitátem sectántes.

Lesson from the Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans
Rom 12:6-16
Brethren: We have gifts differing according to the grace that has been given us, such as prophecy to be used according to the proportion of faith; or ministry, in ministering; or he who teaches, in teaching; he who exhorts, in exhorting; he who gives, in simplicity; he who presides, with carefulness; he who shows mercy, with cheerfulness. Let love be without pretense. Hate what is evil, hold to what is good. Love one another with honor. Be not slothful in zeal; be fervent in spirit, serving the Lord, rejoicing in hope. Be patient in tribulation, persevering in prayer. Share the needs of the saints, practicing hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. Be of one mind towards one another. Do not set your mind on high things but condescend to the lowly.
℟. Thanks be to God.

Continuation of the Holy Gospel according to John
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
John 2:1-11
At that time, a marriage took place at Cana of Galilee, and the mother of Jesus was there. Now Jesus too was invited to the marriage, and also His disciples. And the wine having run short, the mother of Jesus said to Him, They have no wine. And Jesus said to her, What would you have me do, woman? My hour has not yet come. His mother said to the attendants, Do whatever He tells you. Now six stone water-jars were placed there, after the Jewish manner of purification, each holding two or three measures. Jesus said to them, Fill the jars with water. And they filled them to the brim. And Jesus said to them, Draw out now, and take to the chief steward. And they took it to him. Now when the chief steward had tasted the water after it had become wine, not knowing whence it was - though the attendants who had drawn the water knew, - the chief steward called the bridegroom, and said to him, Every man at first sets forth the good wine, and when they have drunk freely, then that which is poorer. But you have kept the good wine until now. This first of His signs Jesus worked at Cana of Galilee; and He manifested His glory, and His disciples believed in Him.
