I’ve recently started going to daily Tridentine Masses in addition to my usual Sunday Mass. What Mass do I follow along with in my missal during feria days? For example, Thursday, September 13, doesn’t have a saint in the prospers of saints, so what prospers and readings are used?

My understanding is that each day of the week is dedicated to a different divine or saintly person, so on ferias the propers are from the feast dedicated to that person. Here is a list of the week’s dedications: fisheaters.com/week.html

For instance, I often attend low Mass on Fridays. Friday is dedicated to the Sacred Heart. So, Friday happens to be a feria one week, father says the Mass for the Feast of the Sacred Heart.

Perhaps this Thursday father will say the propers for Corpus Christi since Thursdays are dedicated to the Blessed Sacrament. I believe he could also say a votive Mass if he wished, like a Mass for the dead.

I’m sure others will have a better answer.
 
A ferial day is just the ordinary weekday, with no particular feast attached to it. The word “feriale” just means “weekday.” The Mass of the day, then, will be taken from the text of the Sunday of that week. A priest may also offer a votive Mass on that day–a votive would be the types of Masses described in the post above, i.e. those associated with a particular day of the week, or else for some particular need or out of devotion to some saint.

Sixty or a hundred years ago, the vast majority of such “free” daily Masses were celebrated as Masses for the Dead. That is substantially less common in this modern revival period, but it should still be a likely guess, I would think.

Father celebrated one a few months ago. Black vestments, if I recall. Makes it easy to recognize.
 
What was said above covers it. We had a Requiem this morning at the chapel.
