Sunday

Posted : May-15-2021

We honour the Lord's Day by going to Mass. But what about the rest of the day? And what if you have work on Sunday or a pandemic closes Churches? Start with personal interests. Are there any you could replace on Sunday with something you do for God or with your family? Then there's language. Okay, maybe you're not the swearing type. But we can all refuse to accept hurtful, demeaning language on Sunday. That means social media rants, snarky texts, or movies with foul language. What a good example to set for our kids! Just thinking about a day like this sounds peaceful, doesn't it? And in the end, isn't peace what God wants for us?

Lord, help us show our love by honouring you on your special day.

Help us hear your holy word at Mass.

Help us find peace and rest in you.

Take time today to make a Sunday plan that works for your family. (That includes getting some rest!) If you do have to work, find a way to honour God today, on the eve of the Lord's Day.
