Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

Recently, a person with some authority told a group of women that fasting ends at sundown. I have never heard this before, and am confused by it. I am under the impression that fasting on Ash Wednesday and Good Friday should be 24 hours, usually midnight to midnight. I suppose you could also fast sundown to sundown.
My question is, does a fast last 24 hours? And where would I find the information to back that up.

Oops! Same question on this thread.. I'm going to lock the thread here so all the answers are in one place.
