Marys Little Remnant
Catholic Calendar
For the Year of Our Lord
2016
Rules for Marys Little Remnant

Marys Little Remnant is a Catholic lay order. We appeal to a future pope to confirm
the order.
NOTE: We follow the fasting and abstinence laws that were in practice during the
early years of the Catholic Church because those laws lead to sanctity and not laxity.
RULES OF ABSTINENCE
On days of abstinence, no meat, meat gravy, or soup made from meat may
be taken.
RULES OF FAST
Total Fast No food or drink (including water).
Liquid Fast No solid food is allowed. Liquids such as water, coffee, or tea may be
taken at any time. Fruit juices and sodas are limited to 36 oz. (combined total). Milk
or pureed juices (such as tomato juice, V8, or smoothies) are not permitted.
Fast (Regular Fast) One meatless meal is allowed. Eating outside of the one meal
is not permitted; but liquids such as water, coffee, or tea may be taken at any time.
Fruit juices and sodas are limited to 36 oz. (combined total). Milk or pureed juices
(such as tomato juice, V8, or smoothies) are not permitted except at the one meal. No
dessert is allowed unless the day of fast falls on a feast day with the rank of d1cl or
d2cl (exception: no dessert is allowed on Ash Day or the last three days of Lent).
(Desserts are permitted for birthdays within the household.)
Light Fast Two full meatless meals are allowed. Eating outside of the two meals is
not permitted; but liquids such as water, coffee, or tea may be taken at any time.
Fruit juices and sodas are limited to 36 oz. (combined total). Milk or pureed juices
(such as tomato juice, V8, or smoothies) are not permitted except at meal time.
Dessert is allowed with the meal.
Black Fast No meat, fish, or dairy products are allowed.
Eucharistic Fast No food or drink (including water) from midnight until 15
minutes after receiving Holy Communion.
Heavy Labor On days of heavy manual labor, replace the Liquid Fast with Fast,
and Fast with Light Fast.
Traditional days of fast and abstinence Abstinence is observed on all 6th
weekdays (unless a Holy Day of Obligation falls thereon). Fasting and abstinence are
observed on all weekdays of Lent and Advent (the Lords Day is not included);
Ember Days (except those following Pentecost); and the vigils of Pentecost, All
Saints Day, and Christmas (unless the vigil falls on the Lords Day).
Additional days of fast and abstinence In addition to the traditional days of fast
and abstinence, Marys Little Remnant requires that on three days a week, outside of
the feasting seasons which follow Resurrection Day and Christmas, you fast and also
abstain from meat. Two days are regular fasts and one day is a liquid fast. If you are
doing heavy labor, then two days are light fasts and one day is a regular fast.
The number of fasting days for each week are listed on the calendar on each Lords
Day. If there are one or more Church-required fasting days (Mandatory Fast) that
week, then they are counted as your required fasting days. (There are never more
than 3 fasting days each week except for the penitential seasons of Lent and Advent.)
NOTE: The mandatory fast and abstinence days, listed in Traditional days of fast
and abstinence, cannot be transferred to another day. Fasting and abstinence are
forbidden on the Lords Day and all Holy Days of Obligation, and 6th weekdays are
always a day of abstinence unless a Holy Day of Obligation falls thereon.
Fasting and abstinence are suspended (except for the 6th weekday abstinence) from
Christmas through the Octave Day of the Epiphany and from Resurrection Day
through the Solemnity of St. Joseph. Fasting rules are modified following the Octave
Day of the Epiphany through the 2nd day of the 2nd month (The
Presentation/Purification) and following the Solemnity of St. Joseph through
Ascension Day.
On days of fasting, no alcoholic beverages are allowed. On non-fasting days,
alcoholic beverages are not allowed in the morning or during working hours.
NOTE: When health or ability to work would be seriously affected, the rules of fast
(but not abstinence) may be modified or replaced by some other form of
mortification.

NOTE: Canonizations are not infallible! Several so-called saints have been removed
from the calendar because they were either notorious heretics or notoriously immoral
(e.g., Jerome, Thomas Aquinas, Bonaventure, Apostate Antipopes Pius V and Pius
X, Alphonsus de Liguori, Therese of Lisieux, Albert the Great, Vincent Ferrer,
Bridget of Sweden). Others have been removed because they were gravely suspect of
heresy or immorality. Saints for whom we have no evidence of being heretics,
immoral, or gravely suspect of heresy or immorality will be listed as saints even
though the ones who died after 1130 could not be canonized because all of the socalled popes from Innocent II (1130-1143) onward were apostate antipopes.

And it came to pass that while they talked and reasoned with themselves, Jesus Himself also
drawing near went with them. But their eyes were held that they should not know Him.

O come, thou source of all our store;
come, fill our hearts with love.
O blessed Light of life thou art!
fill with thy light the inmost heart
of those who hope in thee.
Without thy Godhead nothing can
have any price or worth in man,
nothing can harmless be.
Lord, wash our sinful stains away,
refresh from heaven our barren clay,
our wounds and bruises heal.
Grant us in life thy grace that we
in peace may die and ever be
in joy before thy face.
Amen.
