Brethren: Peace and Good to all of you. This, from the Catechism of the Catholic Church:
A day of grace and rest from work
2184 Just as God "rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had done,"121 human life has a rhythm of workand rest. the institution of the Lord's Day helps everyone enjoy adequate rest and leisure to cultivate their familial, cultural,social, and religious lives.122
2185 On Sundays and other holy days of obligation, the faithful are to refrain from engaging in work or activities that hinderthe worship owed to God, the joy proper to the Lord's Day, the performance of the works of mercy, and the appropriaterelaxation of mind and body.123 Family needs or important social service can legitimately excuse from the obligation ofSunday rest. the faithful should see to it that legitimate excuses do not lead to habits prejudicial to religion, family life, andhealth.
The charity of truth seeks holy leisure - the necessity of charity accepts just work.124
2186 Those Christians who have leisure should be mindful of their brethren who have the same needs and the same rights, yet cannot rest from work because of poverty and misery. Sunday is traditionally consecrated by Christian piety to goodworks and humble service of the sick, the infirm, and the elderly. Christians will also sanctify Sunday by devoting time andcare to their families and relatives, often difficult to do on other days of the week. Sunday is a time for reflection, silence,cultivation of the mind, and meditation which furthers the growth of the Christian interior life.
2187 Sanctifying Sundays and holy days requires a common effort. Every Christian should avoid making unnecessarydemands on others that would hinder them from observing the Lord's Day. Traditional activities (sport, restaurants, etc.), and social necessities (public services, etc.), require some people to work on Sundays, but everyone should still take careto set aside sufficient time for leisure. With temperance and charity the faithful will see to it that they avoid the excesses andviolence sometimes associated with popular leisure activities. In spite of economic constraints, public authorities shouldensure citizens a time intended for rest and divine worship. Employers have a similar obligation toward their employees.
2188 In respecting religious liberty and the common good of all, Christians should seek recognition of Sundays and theChurch's holy days as legal holidays. They have to give everyone a public example of prayer, respect, and joy and defendtheir traditions as a precious contribution to the spiritual life of society. If a country's legislation or other reasons requirework on Sunday, the day should nevertheless be lived as the day of our deliverance which lets us share in this "festalgathering," this "assembly of the firstborn who are enrolled in heaven."125
Enjoy your Sunday rest in the Lord!
