Lenten Weekday Masses

Lent has a character all its own: it has not only mass readings assigned for every Wednesday and Friday, as well as this week’s Ember Days, but a full set of mass propers for every single day from Ash Wednesday until the Resurrection of Our Lord. To put this in perspective, in our current books, we have the full mass propers for Ash Wednesday, for the Sundays in Lent, and for each day of Holy Week - but all of this comprises less than one third of the totality of Lenten mass propers.
