The Easter Duty

There are six Precepts of the Church:
• Attend Mass on Sunday, and Holy days.
• Confess serious (mortal) sins at least once a year.
• Receive Holy Communion often and, especially during Easter season.
• Fast and abstain on certain days.
• Contribute to the support of the church.
• Observe the marriage laws of the Church.

The Easter Duty pertains to the fourth precept, that we should receive Holy Communion at least once a year during the Season of Easter. For us in the United States this may be fulfilled from the First Sunday of Lent to Trinity Sunday. Also going to confession is recommended during this time.

These are the minimum requirements for Catholics. When we stop to think of all that Jesus has done for us, how He gives Himself entirely for our sake, surely we will want to receive Him in the Holy Eucharist more than just once a year and if we commit sin only once a year, then we will want to confess on a regular basis.

Hay seis preceptos de la Iglesia:
• Asistir a misa los domingos y días de preceptos
• Confiesa los pecados graves (mortales) al menos una vez al año.
• Recibe la Sagrada Comunión a menudo y, especialmente durante la temporada de Pascua.
• Ayunar y abstenerse en ciertos días.
• Contribuir al apoyo de la iglesia.
• Observe las leyes de matrimonio de la Iglesia.

El Deber de Pascua se refiere al cuarto precepto, que debemos recibir la Sagrada Comunión al menos una vez al año durante la temporada de Pascua. Para nosotros en los Estados Unidos esto puede cumplirse desde el primer domingo de Cuaresma hasta el domingo de Trinidad. También se recomienda ir a confesarse durante este tiempo.

Estos son los requisitos mínimos para los católicos. Cuando nos detenemos a pensar en todo lo que Jesús ha hecho por nosotros, cómo se entrega por nuestro bien, seguramente querremos recibirlo en la Sagrada Eucaristía más de una vez al año y si cometemos pecado solo una vez al año, entonces vamos a querer confesar de manera regular.
