Rank
Sunday
The rank “Semidouble” is a traditional liturgical classification meaning the Sunday has fuller liturgical observance than a simple feast but is not as prominent as a double major or a solemnity. In plain language: the Sunday’s prayers, antiphons, and readings take precedence in parish and family worship, though it does not override higher-ranking feasts.
There is no octave or vigil specifically attached here.

The Theological Virtues
The Theological Virtues
Faith
Faith is the infused virtue by which the mind firmly assents to the truths God has revealed because He can neither deceive nor be deceived. It rests on God’s authority and gives the foundation by which the believer knows Him and orders life toward Him.
Hope
Hope is the infused virtue by which a person confidently expects eternal life and the graces needed to reach it, relying on God’s goodness, promises, and power. It stands between despair, which distrusts mercy, and presumption, which expects heaven without conversion and grace.
Charity
Charity is the infused virtue by which God is loved above all things for His own sake and one’s neighbor is loved for God. It gives supernatural life to the other virtues by directing the whole person toward friendship with God and eternal union with Him.
