4th classThursday after the 18th Sunday after Pentecost
Commemoration of Saint Remigius, Bishop and Confessor
Today is observed as the Thursday after the 18th Sunday after Pentecost according to the traditional (1962) Roman calendar. This day is a ‘feria,’ meaning it is a weekday without a proper feast assigned, and it occupies a place in the liturgical season known as 'Time after Pentecost'—a period characterized by spiritual growth, reflection, and the ongoing work of the Holy Spirit in the life of the Church. Green is used as the liturgical color, signifying hope and the virtue of perseverance among the faithful. On ferial days of the 4th class, Mass and the Divine Office follow the propers of the previous Sunday, unless a higher-ranking feast occurs. The reason the traditional Roman calendar marks today simply as a feria is due to the structured rhythm of prayer, penance, and thanksgiving intrinsic to the annual cycle, allowing for deeper meditation on the Sunday themes and flexibility in commemorations. These non-festal days invite Catholics to enter more interiorly into the mysteries presented in the recent Sunday liturgy, uniting their daily lives to the Holy Sacrifice. No particular saint or historical event is venerated today; rather, the Church sanctifies the ordinary and provides space for private prayer and devotion.

Continuation ✠ of the Holy Gospel according to Matthew
℟. Glory be to Thee, O Lord.
Matt 9:1-8
At that time, Jesus, getting into a boat, crossed over and came to his own town. And behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a pallet. And Jesus, seeing their faith, said to the paralytic, Take courage, son; your sins are forgiven you. And behold, some of the scribes said within themselves, This man blasphemes. And Jesus, knowing their thoughts, said, Why do you harbor evil thoughts in your hearts? For which is easier, to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven you,’ or to say, ‘Arise, and walk’? But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins, - then He said to the paralytic - Arise, take up your pallet and go to your house. And he arose, and went away to his house. But when the crowds saw it, they were struck with fear, and glorified God Who had given such power to men.
