Fast Friday: Ember Days are here again! Fr. Donald Kloster & Joan Maroney

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 this video.

But, I will tell you that 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, 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

Mother of Mercy Messengers (MOMM) is a Catholic evangelization apostolate under the auspices of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception based at the National Shrine of Divine Mercy in Stockbridge, Massachusetts. Dave and Joan operate the apostolate from their home near San Antonio, Texas. Since 1999, they have taken the message of Divine Mercy to over 1000 parishes, schools, and conferences across the United States and beyond.

Divine Mercy for America is an initiative launched in 2012 based on praying and sacrificing for our nation the way the Lord instructed St. Faustina Kowalska to do so for her country of Poland in the 1930s. It is both a prayer campaign and a network of thousands of faith-filled Catholics committed to spreading the Divine Mercy message and devotion in deed, word, and prayer. A four-part Action Plan based on the writings of St. Faustina provides a clear way to respond to the problems and evil in the world today.

Members can keep connected by email or text messages and choose their level of participation. The popular novena group members conveniently receive the proper prayers for the day early in the morning so that they are available as needed.

If you are doing all you are able to live and spread the Divine Mercy message and devotion, then YOU ARE DIVINE MERCY FOR AMERICA! We want to be connected with you and to support you.
