Catholic Calendar: Holy Days of Obligation

The site link below provides information about the
Holy Days of Obligation as prescribed by the U.S. bishops
(usccb.org/liturgy/q&a/general/obligation.shtml)
- those days each year that we are required to attend Mass.


With the following link, you can access on-line the
Official Documents of Liturgical Norms
(usccb.org/liturgy/girm/index.shtml)
which states the rules each priest and parish must follow
in its celebration of Eucharist.


An additional on-line resource is the
Code of Canon Law
(ourladyswarriors.org/canon/index.html)
which comprehensively addresses matters of unity and obedience
to the norms of the Universal Catholic Church.

"The Code of Canon Law is absolutely necessary for the Church.
Since the Church is established in the form of a social and visible unit, it needs rules, so that its hierarchical and organic structure may be visible; that its exercise of the functions divinely entrusted to it, particularly of sacred power and of the administration of the sacraments, is properly ordered; that the mutual relationships of Christ's faithful are reconciled in justice based on charity, with the rights of each safeguarded and defined; and lastly, that the common initiatives which are undertaken so that Christian life may be ever more perfectly carried out, are supported strengthened and promoted by canonical laws."

Catholic Calendar:  Fasting & Penance

The first two site links below are to the U.S. Catholic Bishops site,

(fasting, works of mercy, stations of the cross, etc.)
and an explanation of Sacrament of Penance (Confession).

http://www.usccb.org/liturgy/penance.shtml

E5 Men
“Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the Church and gave himself up for her.”  (Eph. 5)
Jesus gave up his body for his bride, the Church, and E5 Men give up their bodies for their brides through fasting.
