Vetus OrdoEmber Friday of Lent — Feb 19, 2027, Mar 10, 2028
Per huius, Domine, operationem mysterii, et vitia nostra purgentur, et iusta desideria compleantur.Fr. Z’s literal rendering
Through the working of this mystery/sacrament, O Lord, both let our sins be purged, and let our righteous desires be fulfilled.
This is Ember Week in Lent. I had a PODCAzT which spoke about Ember Days. During the week after the 1st Sunday of Lent we observe the Ember Days of Lent. “Ember” derives from Anglo-Saxon ymbren, “a circuit or revolution (from ymb, “around”, and rennen, “to run”), the annual wheel of the sun.”
