I’ve been seriously thinking about starting to practice this facet of traditional Catholicism. The author’s right, too. Since V2, it’s not really discussed here. But it’s nice to read an article like this about it. Thank you for sharing this, Pyro7480.

According to a press release, the bishops saw in them an opportunity to “focus on the environment, climate change, and the responsibility of our stewardship of the world’s resources.” (rolls eyes) They forgot the prayers to Al Gore.

Sadly, I have to admit that had forgotten about ember days. When I first look at the headline, I was thinking about embers in a fire.
This is a great tradition to return to for all of the reasons given.
Thanks for posting this, FRiend.

Fasting is an important aspect of making us think of God — it is very important in this consumer society of ours to have a day when consumption is ignored. That ability to resist physical stimulus WHILE PRAYING will invariably make the person stronger spiritually.
