1. ...I found this in the updated Statutes for USA:<br /><br />1. Fast and abstinence:<br /><br />a. In addition to the days of fasting and of abstinence proper to the Church in the United States and in response to the encouragement of our bishops "to prepare for each Church festival by a day of particular self-denial, penitential prayer and fasting" (cf. above) and to our Carmelite traditions, our members, unless excused by reason of illness, will fast on the vigils of the following feast days:<br /><br />1. Our Blessed Lady of Mount Carmel (July 16)<br />2. Our Holy Mother St. Teresa of Jesus (October 15)<br />3. Our Holy Father St. John of the Cross (December 14)<br />4. The Prophet Elijah (July 20)<br />5. St Therese of the Child Jesus (Oct 1)<br />6. All the Saints of the Order (November 14)<br /><br />b. For sufficient reason, the above special fast days may be anticipated. Anticipation should never involve fasting on Sundays and Holy Days (cf. Canon Law 1249-1253).<br /><br />c. Our Secular Order members should remember to do works of charity, exercises of piety, fasting and visiting the sick, especially on Fridays.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7928909829559321913.post-16738413115589209832013-09-17T16:01:33.220-07:002013-09-17T16:01:33.220-07:00Theresa, are you sure?

I know OCDS do not have to fast ...Happy Feast Day!<br /><br />I know OCDS do not have to fast before St. Albert's Feast Day. At least that is what the calendar I have states. The next fast days would be Sept. 30 in anticipation of St. Therese's Feast Day and October 14 in anticipation of our Holy Mother.<br /><br />(although fasting before any feast day is an excellent practice)<br /><br />Blessings~Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
