What’s a liturgical lover like yourself to do?ĭon’t worry I’ve got you covered in this complete guide, and, of course, a free printable too!). So you turn to Google which doesn’t turn up much either. You ask around and realize most Catholics have never even heard of them and some even question your sanity (a Catholic college grad told me they never existed).

Oh, there are Rogation Days too, but let’s not bite off more than we can chew!!!īeing a Catholic liturgical year loving mama, you begin researching how to bring this lost tradition into your home. You go along in the ageless rhythm of the liturgical year thinking you have it all figured out, and then WHAM! along come Ember Days. Of course, you begin with feasting and you even prepare for major feasts by observing a Catholic flavored Advent and Lent. When you are a convert to Catholicism, you find an amazing new world called the liturgical year.

Let us consider offering our Ember week penances in reparation, and with the petition that the parish organizers realize their error in hosting and cancel it.INSIDE: Answers to all your burning questions about the Ember Days: what are they, how do we observe them, what’s the point? It was only 2 weeks ago that the Church celebrated the Holy Name of Mary, and now her name is associated with an inoculation heinously connected to abortion. C-PLAN invites all pro-life faithful to make some act of reparation on Saturday and pray over the next few days that this event gets canceled.ĬLMC note: While this is not the first instance in Charlotte, as the above statement notes, the event not only afflicts Our Lord, but also Our Lady, whose holy name has been dragged into this abominable act by a parish which bears her name. This act comes at a time when thousands of Catholic workers across western NC are threatened with termination if they do not take the vaccine and are trying to file for religious exemptions to keep their jobs. We can only guess how heartbreaking this act is to Our Lord (and Our Lady – whose title bears the parish name) as all COVID-19 vaccines were developed to some extent using aborted fetal tissue. Sadly, we share the sad news that Our Lady of Assumption parish in Charlotte is hosting a COVID-19 vaccine clinic on its parish grounds on Saturday (see attached image or visit the parish’s website). The Carolina Pro-Life Action Network (C-PLAN), the city-wide Catholic pro-life group (of which this author is a co-leader), has sadly learned that Our Lady of Assumption parish in Charlotte is hosting a COVID-19 abortion-linked vaccine clinic on its property on Saturday. It is fitting that the readings for Ember Saturday note the institution of the Jewish feast of Yon Kippur, the day of atonement, as Catholics in Charlotte may have some atonement to do this Ember Saturday.

Traditionally, the Ember Days, which fall on Wednesday, Friday and Saturday after the feast of the Holy Cross, are days of fasting and partial abstinence (meat at only one meal, except Friday which is full abstinence) – though the fasting is now voluntary. The autumn Ember Days fall on Wednesday September 22, Friday September 24, and Saturday September 25. This week in the traditional calendar is the autumn Embertide, the 3-day penitential period during the change of seasons where the faithful offer thanks to God for his creation and gifts, and to pray for sanctification in the upcoming season.
