As a bright and enterprising child, however, I eventually realized that the Sundays are not counted as part of the forty days of Lent. The only way you can count to 40 each year is to leave out the Sundays but include the first two-thirds of the Sacred Triduum Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
So I reasoned that Sundays, being a celebration of the Resurrection, were better left without Lenten sacrifices.
And indeed, this has become a widespread practice in the United States. But as I said, this custom has not swayed the Hispanic priest who nudges my frail conscience each year. He points out that even if the Sundays are not part of the day count, they are part of the Season of Lent, which is unquestionably true. He further notes that the Church herself drops both the Gloria and the Alleluia verse before the Gospel on Sundays in Lent, giving them a penitential aspect in comparison with Ordinary Time, Christmas and Easter.
This is also true. The Gloria is dropped in the season of Advent as well, since Advent emphasizes our yearning for the Lord who has not yet come. In the same way, Lent emphasizes the sacrificial mission of the Christ who has not yet risen. The latter might be true if we are speaking of real fasting—the kind of fasting performed on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. If I decide to give alms more generously during Lent, should I make a point of not doing so on Sunday?
Again, the answers to these questions are obvious. In point of fact, the Church does not regulate our voluntary Lenten penances. She recognizes the penitential value of the Season of Lent, and she recognizes that Sunday is always a special remembrance of the Resurrection. Use precise geolocation data.
