And fasting is described as eating one full meal and two other meals that do not equal the one meal.<BR/><BR/>I don't know much else about the days. Perahps more information is available on Fish Eaters. I did pray the Litany of Saints, and I did bless my plants/trees yesterday with holy water.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929374709032473716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13804788.post-65058401634309277862007-05-15T07:02:00.000-05:002007-05-15T07:02:00.000-05:00Thank so much for this important post Seminarian M...Thank so much for this important post Seminarian Matthew. There seem to be a bit confussion about the subject of fasting on those days. When did it become a custom to fast on those days, and when did the Church say we don't have to? <BR/><BR/>I do not do a "hard" fast this time because I do not think I could do it 3 days in a row yet, but I skip a meal, which is lunch, and then I eat 3 normal sized meatless meals. Breakfast, Dinner and supper. I also sung the litany of the saints which can be found in latin at fisheaters. It was quite fun actually, and latin is the most beautifull language!Cskaarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495482753607321287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13804788.post-76291700003444045702007-05-14T09:52:00.000-05:002007-05-14T09:52:00.000-05:00THANKS for the reminder and will try the fast.THANKS for the reminder and will try the fast.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13804788.post-4698185514747788142007-05-04T11:10:00.000-05:002007-05-04T11:10:00.000-05:00Phew!

Since observing the days is not required, even abstaining from meat would be a good way to observe the days leading up to the Lord's Ascension into Heaven. It's just important to do some penance.Matthewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07929374709032473716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13804788.post-774959686731251542007-05-01T19:08:00.000-05:002007-05-01T19:08:00.000-05:00Do we fast on all of the days?Do we fast on all of the days?Sewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09963399196987365207noreply@blogger.com
