TWENTY-FOURTH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME SEPTEMBER 16, 2018 Dominica XVII Post Pentecosten III. Septembris ~ II. classis Fr. William Writes: Ember Days were traditionally four sets of 3 days (always Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) in the week follow- Holy Mass ing the First Sunday of Lent, in December in the week following St. Lucy’s Day (Dec 13th), in the week following Pentecost Sunday, and SUNDAY week following the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross 8:30 am Extraordinary Form (Latin) th 11:00 am Novus Ordo (English) (September 14 ). They fell by the wayside after the changes in the 4:30 pm Syro-Malabar Rite (Malayalam) Church Calendar in 1969, probably because penance had fallen by the wayside in people’s minds in the pop culture of the 60’s! They MONDAY may still be followed, but requiring their observance belongs to the 12:00 pm Extraordinary Form (Latin) National Conferences of Bishops; our Conference has not acted on TUESDAY-FRIDAY them. The Ember Days were days of fast and abstinence, originally 6:00 pm Novus Ordo (English) occasioned by the agricultural feast of ancient Rome, they came to be SATURDAY observed by Christians, in a spirit of gratitude, for sanctification at the change of the different seasons of the year. In former times, Ordi- 9:00 am Extraordinary Form (Latin) nations were held during Ember Days, and so the penance of all the HOLY DAYS OF OBLIGATION Faithful from the Pope down to the children, also asked for God's 6:00pm Novus Ordo (English) blessing on the clergy to be ordained. The color for Ember Days, as CONFESSIONS in Advent and Lent is Violet. This week in the Calendar of the Ex- Saturdays 10:00am-11am traordinary Form Latin Mass, the Autumn Ember Days occur. Per- before Mass and by appointment haps, given the need for the cleansing of the Church and of the high- er clergy, we might voluntarily observe the Ember Days this week Directory with extra prayer and penance. Just a suggestion. Parish Administrator Rt. Rev. William Fitzgerald, O.Praem Catholics United for the Arts Next Meeting MONDAY September 17, [email protected] 2018 7pm. Buddeke House .
