Ember days are days at the beginning of the seasons ordered by the Church as days of fast and abstinence.
May such beautiful days of fast and abstinence bring about “time for true and fruitful penance, an always repentant heart and amendment of life, the grace and consolation of the Holy Ghost, and final perseverance in good works” (as the old Papal blessing used to go).
EMBER DAYS
Ember Days (from Latin Quatuor Tempora, four times) are the days at the beginning of the seasons ordered by the Church as days of prayer, fast, abstinence, mortification, and almsgiving. Though these days were definitely arranged and prescribed for the entire Church by Pope Gregory VII (1073-1085), their real origin goes back to the early days of the Church at Rome. The Ember Days are specific to the West; the East does not know them.
In addition to prayer and fasting, another reason for the Ember Days is to thank God for the gifts of nature, to teach men to make use of them in moderation, and to assist the needy. The immediate occasion (for their origin) was the practice of the heathens of Rome who worked in agriculture. In the months June, September, and December, the Romans invoked their false deities for protection upon their fruits of the earth: in June for a bountiful harvest, in September for a rich vintage, and in December for the seeding.
The Church, when converting heathen nations, has always tried to sanctify any practices that could be utilized for a good purpose. At first, the Church in Rome had fasts in June, September, and December, but the exact days were not fixed. The Church, on these days, taught Christians to consecrate the seasons by means of fasting, abstinence, prayer, mortification, and almsgiving in order to invoke the blessing of the One and True God upon their crops by means of sun and rain in due season.
Additionally, following the example of Our Lord, who fasted for 40 days and 40 nights, the Church always prepared for special feasts and festivals by fasting (Saturdays were days of fast and abstinence in preparation for Mass on the Lord’s Day – Sunday). This helped Christians to prepare spiritually and to increase their life of virtue by subduing the flesh to the spirit: “Fasting has always been the nourishment of virtues. By voluntary mortifications, the flesh dies to its concupiscence and the spirit is renewed in virtue” (Pope St. Leo).

Ember Days In The Real Four Seasons Of The Roman Catholic Church vs. Judaism Explained – TCE
The current rabbinical Judaism will recognize their change of seasons – fast and atonement high Holiday Yom Kippur on our Michaelmas change of seasons which is next Friday the 29th – of September after which our traditional rite liturgy of the hours seasons change – Yom Kippur –On Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Kippur while Rosh Hashanah is the beginning of the abrogated covenant of the Jewish liturgical year (their new years) Rosh Hashanah – on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosh_Hashanah .while the new covenant’s new year begins the fast and atonement of Advent on the Vespers of the first Sunday (Saturday evening ) in December their new year will begin tonight through Friday – our Ember Wednesday – thru Ember Friday – The difference in the practice of the Covenants is striking – as seen in this reversal . Contributing to the confusion is the fact that the moving of the celebration of the Kingship of Christ in the new Rite from its rightful place at the last weekend of October to the last thing the Church does prior to its new year beginning with that first Vespers of Advent Sunday – it’s seasonal Ash Wednesday equivalent to our Ember Days of atonement, additional prayers, abstinence, and fasting.
While their atonement and music is beautiful aka Barbra Streisand – Avinu Malkeinu (Our Father ‘ Our King) – YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KUXeiIURirI The obscured facts are that Zionist Christians and Pentecostals find a redux in revisionism to marry some significance to coinciding these Jewish Holidays that are visibly and theologically opposed, (aside from the obvious reversal of the atonement and new year celebrations of liturgical year ) to their replacements by Jesus Christ the Messiah, as the fulfillment of all covenants – with the Eucharistic Covenant of the only begotten Son of God.
The old covenant was completely and utterly abrogated by their foretold Messiah. Subsequently Judaism has rebuked the new covenant and invented a new religion . Rabbinical Talmudic Judaism has virtually nothing to do with biblical Judaism .The scriptures referring to Israel throughout the Old Testament are referring to the new Israel of Catholicism – The religious and the devout of confraternities , societal sodalities, and third orders chant the psalms everyday as a matter of the law of the Church . These chants as well as the old testament readings regarding the persecution of Israel and its coming subsequent defeat of everything are prayers for the new Jerusalem, the new Israel, which is the Roman Catholic Church- which is a fixed dogma of the Catholic Church. To a corresponding example one of its best selling bibles is one that provides margin exegesis called, “ The New Jerusalem Bible “ The most frequent response to this is why have I never heard these teachings . Answer = Because the past fifty years has suppressed its former treasured teachings and dogmas and imposed a theological new religion in a similar way to “the method” of that which was imposed in the invention of rabbinical Judaism in the 1800s which was also a man centered religion unlike the traditional rite whose Sacred Traditions are threaded back to its founder the Son of God.
Where can one find the real meanings and teachings of this Sacred Heart of Jesus and the Social Reign of Christ – Answer = In the preconcilar Church they were everywhere
