Subject: Friend It's your Fast Friday message from Joan

Ember Days are upon us - time to fast for the harvest!
-

Dear Friend,


Thanks for participating in the Divine Mercy for America Fast Friday group. You are the cream of the crop and a blessing to our country. We hope and pray you have a blessed Fast Friday.


Friend, we wanted to alert you that NEXT WEEK extra fasting is on the horizon as Ember Days are upon us. What are Ember Days? Why are they important?


In the ten-minute video below, Fr. Donald Kloster does an excellent job instructing us on this universal fasting practice that has sadly been lost in the Church, but is now seeing a revival. Yes!


Ember Days are here again and, boy, do we need them!


Fall Ember Days 2022

Wednesday, Sept 21, Friday, Sept 23,

Saturday, Sept 24


Why Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday?


Father explains in the video 😀.


But, I will tell you this: fall Ember Days begin the Wednesday after the Feast of the Holy Cross to give thanks for the grape harvest.


Since The Feast of the Holy Cross was this past Wednesday, September 14, next Wednesday, September 21, will be the first day of Ember Days.


We hope this video inspires you as much as it did us to take note of these extraordinary days of penance and to be prepared to offer them to the Lord for a great harvest of souls.



Your fast friends,

Joan and Dave Maroney
