Through the year

Wednesdays and Fridays outside the seasons

Outside the four great fasts, the Church still keeps most Wednesdays and Fridays as fast days · Wednesday in memory of the betrayal of the Lord, Friday in memory of His Crucifixion. This weekly fast is the steady rhythm beneath the seasons. A few weeks in the year are declared fast-free and lift it; the calendar marks them. Your priest can help you keep this weekly fast in a way that is faithful and sustainable.

The measure is yours to receive, ask your priest.
