Ember Friday


Today is Ember Friday. Ember days are traditonal days of fasting and prayer in the Western Church. Saturday is also an ember day.



Unless you do penance, you shall likewise perish - Luke 13:5

Rats, I forgot that Ember days even existed! At least I avoided meat yesterday anyway.

You forgot!

I didn't even know until a few months ago!

I wouldn't feel guilty. We Catholics have enough guilt. Just enjoy the discovery of another piece of your heritage, as I have. And set your sets on the ember days in Advent.

Remember, some sin can only be conquered by prayer AND fasting.
