"Let me be clear. Fr. Z is a shock jock, mostly. His readership is vast and touchy. They like to be provoked and react with speed and fury."

I agree, repent. But, there are usually more than 50 righteous people in our cities which hold back Our Lord’s anger. The question is, for how long…
Hmmm, how do I delete that post? I don’t like how it was written.
Interesting, It would be helpful if English still had an operative word like “Volk” that could be used singularly in the place of “populum”, as it is “people” is a plural in modern English and using “it” with it, while true to the Latin, does sound very strange. Modern English speakers would say “them”.
speaking of penance, is this the week of the Lenten ember days? Or were they last week?
AJP,
Today is the first of the Lenten Ember Days according to the internet sources I checked.
Do penance!
Fr. Z., I’m so happy to come accross a priest that ‘orders’ us to do penance ;)
Something very rare nowadays!
Not only penance, but think of it. When people see us, they should see something that causes them to repentance and conversion as well. They should see the power of God shining through our weakness.
At the Eucharistic table and in all the Sacraments we receive something far greater than all the Wisdom of Solomon or the Temple of Jerusalem. We are called to be living Monstrances in the world.
Ember Days are Wed., Fri., and Sat. this week.
Question for those who know…
I am trying to follow the previous law (one meal a day, meat only once a day except Friday and Saturday when meat is forbidden.)
I know that Ember Days had stricker penances; can anyone tell me A) What were they and B) When are these days?
Thanks in advance.
Oh, Random Friar..”We are called to be living Monstrances.” I have much work, prayer and penance to do. Thank you for this stunning comment. It stopped me in my tracks.
TomB Thanks for the reminder about Ember Days.
