CANON LAW No. 919

Can. 919 §1. A person who is to receive the Most Holy Eucharist is to abstain for at least one hour before holy communion from any food and drink, except for only water and medicine.

(Exceptions)

§2. A priest who celebrates the Most Holy Eucharist two or three times on the same day can take something before the second or third celebration even if there is less than one hour between them.

§3. The elderly, the infirm, and those who care for them can receive the Most Holy Eucharist even if they have eaten something within the preceding hour.

Reason why?

The fast before receiving Holy Communion creates a physical hunger and thirst for the Lord, which in turn augments the spiritual hunger and thirst we ought to have.

Therefore, the Eucharistic fast assists us in preparing to receive Holy Communion wholly– body and soul. This physical mortification strengthens our spiritual focus on the Lord, so that we may humbly encounter the divine Savior who offers Himself to us.

EVENING PRAYER
November 11, 2022
Memorial of St. Martin of Tours

November 11 | 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐧 𝐨𝐟 𝐓𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐬

Throughout his life, Martin faced many dilemmas. At the age of 12, he began to place each one before God.

Martin had been born to pagan parents in the year 316, in a region of the world that is now Hungary. When he was 12, he began to think about a serious question—should he remain a pagan and believe in many gods, or should he accept the one God of the Christians? Martin became a catechumen.

A few years later, Martin was met with another dilemma. His father served in the Roman army, so at 15 Martin became a soldier, too. Yet one question bothered him—should he follow Christ, or should he kill others for the Roman Empire? Martin prayed, then he quit the army.

When Martin was 54, another dilemma leapt into his life. By that time, Martin had gathered a group of hermits into a monastic community—the first in France. But the people of Tours insisted that Martin leave the monastery and become their bishop. Martin prayed, then he went to the cathedral at Tours to be the bishop. Unlike many bishops, he did not live in a grand home, but rather in a monk’s cell.

There Martin taught the people all he knew about God’s kingdom. He preached the good news that God loved all people—pagan and Christian, heretic and saint.

One of the most famous stories about Martin of Tours occurred when he was still a soldier. One day, it is said, he met a beggar wearing rags. He took his sword and cut his military cloak in half and gave half to the poor man for his warmth. That night, Martin dreamed that Jesus was wearing the half of a cloak he had given away. During the Middle Ages, Martin’s cloak (cappa) became a relic that French kings would take into battle. The person whose job it was to care for the cloak was often a priest, and he was called a cappellani. It is from this that the word “chaplain” evolved.

Martin died in France in 397 at the age of 81 and, at his request, he was buried in a cemetery with the poorest of the poor. Soon, pilgrims traveled to his grave at Tours. Today in many countries in Europe, St. Martin’s feast day is celebrated widely.

Let us pray!

Blessed saint, You were born under pagan ways but since your childhood you were chosen to be a Prince of the Church and , as Bishop of Tours, many souls were redeemed and liberated from the satanic forces through your prayers, austerities and blessings.

We humbly ask for your intercession before Our Lord Jesus Christ because we want to be worthy of the grace and mercy of the Holy Spirit that lead us from darkness to light into the eternal kingdom, for ever and ever. Amen.

Happy 20th Sacerdotal Anniversary Rev. Fr. Emil P. Guiao.

May the good Lord always provide you with strength and perseverance in your ministry as you continue your path of serving Him.

"It is not the business of God to condemn, but to save." - Most Rev. Pablo Virgilio S. David, D.D., Bishop of the Diocese of Kalookan and CBCP President.
