ON THE CALENDAR September 23 – Ember Wednesday September 25 – Ember Friday September 26 – Ember Saturday WHAT ARE EMBER DAYS? Ember Days are three weekdays
(Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) traditionally set apart for fasting,
abstinence and prayer. There are four “Ember weeks” each year—one near the
beginning of each of the four seasons. Tied to the seasonal cycles of
farming and harvesting, the purpose of Ember Days is to render thanks to God
for the gifts of Creation and to ask His help in using them well. Since 1966,
the fasting and abstinence are no longer prescribed, but are still encouraged
and are observed by many traditional Catholics.
A painting of the September Ember Days by Abel
Grimmer (1607) The
fall Ember Days are the Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday of the liturgical
week beginning with the third Sunday
of September. The
Ember day Masses are very ancient in origin. They are distinguished
liturgically by additional readings at Mass. For instance, take a look at this
coming Ember Saturday in your daily missal (Angelus 785, Baronius 835) and
you’ll see that the usual Epistle and Gospel of the Mass may be preceded by
as many as five Old Testament lessons. Moreover, each of these OT
readings is followed by its own Gradual (psalm) and Collect. The September Ember Day lessons
focus on the Old Covenant’s Day of Atonement and the fast of the seventh
month, but start off with this prophecy from Amos 9:13-15, evocative of the
autumn harvest: “Behold the days come, when the ploughman shall
overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him
that soweth seed, and the mountains shall drop
sweetness, and every hill shall be tilled. And I will bring back the
captivity of My people Israel, and they shall build the abandoned cities, and
inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine of
them; and shall make gardens and eat the fruits of them; and I will plant
them upon their land: and I will no more pluck them out of their land
which I have given them; saith the Lord thy God.” FORMER KNOXVILLE LATIN MASS ALTAR SERVER ORDAINED SUBDEACON From
