Why Do We Need to Rest from Work on Sundays?

- You might have heard that Sunday, as the Sabbath, is a "day of rest." But is that just, like, an honorary title? What does that actually mean for Christians? What should be doing-or not doing-on Sundays?
Today, Fr. Mike tells us why Christians are asked to rest from work on Sundays.
What does God want this Advent? Simple. He wants you. He wants a personal encounter with you. This year, journey through Advent with “Rejoice! Finding Your Place in the Advent Story,” and learn about the places, people, and events that shaped the story of the very first Advent and shape our own lives today: tinyurl.com/ygbvq52f

I work every Sunday too! I don’t have a choice. I asked for that day off and was denied. So my Sunday time devoted to Jesus starts after my shift on Sunday evening after 5pm mass going into Monday for 24 hours. God bless and protect you Father Mike!
love you
I find it fascinating that all the other beliefs and religions seems to be accommodated for nowadays except Christianity...🤔
If you asked and were denied, why are you still working there? I totally understand if it's the only job you could get, but this is why Christians aren't "accommodated". When we get told no, we just say "Ok" and keep going.
Try saturday that is the original sabbath. Friday evening til Saturday Eve. Not to worry Sunday is not the day of rest at al
@@luthiengs unfortunately only job that will help provide health insurance for me plus 3 children. God bless 🙏
This is so much a needed thing in our society. I was always doing things on sundays for school and I really didn’t enjoy them. But this semester I started my PhD and I decided no work on weekends, and even though I am working a lot on week days I feel everything has its time. It is one of the best decisions I have made in my life. I cannot believe I was so selfish to believe my own “responsibilities” were an exception to the rule God gave us to care for us.
Same here! You are right. There is time for everything. It can be exhausting during the week but this way weekends are much more enjoyable!
Same here for college. I committed to not doing homework on Sunday and it has been great spiritually and mentally, I'm much less stressed. Plus my grades haven't suffered either, so it's a win-win.
So, the Sabbath Commandment means NOTHING to you???
@@anagc97 quote--- There is time for everything. It can be exhausting during the week but this way weekends are much more enjoyable!--unquote
Weekend?? There is ONLY ONE day at the end of the week--Saturday!!!
According to GOD, Sunday is the FIRST day of the week!!
As a small farmer, hear this. Normally I'd be sleeping, but you've actually kept me up listening. I hear you are an academic. I was a teacher too a long time ago. Totally fascinated. We as farmers and homesteaders are out here caring for livestock and land, hoping we are working alongside the Lord. Great chat! Thank you, and I must be off to sleep. Appreciate your company ❤
i was thinking the same. i am a starting homesteader and entrepreneur. i try not to work, full of fear and guilt, for my business on sundays. But the animals have to eat and take medicine, and stuff
@@josephbXIXJesus does clarify that certain doings are not considered work on the Sabbath, such as Mathew 12:11-12 He said to them, “Which one of you who has a sheep, if it falls into a pit on the Sabbath, will not take hold of it and lift it out? Of how much more value is a man than a sheep! So it is lawful to do good on the Sabbath.” which I feel most applies to you too. Also Sabbath is Saturday not Sunday. God bless ❤
I worked 16 hr shifts on Sundays for 6 years. My pastoral assistant told me God just wants me to do what I need to do at certain times. However, I was miserable. I got a new job that is closed on Sunday and my children go to CCD classes. I'm so much happier devoting Sunday to God. Life is so much easier and better. I go with God, even though she meant well.
As a student I rest on Saturday's; I don't do homework. On Sunday's I got to mass and do some homework but mostly try to rest. I tell other students to take at least one day off to not do homework.
Thank you for sharing this video it was helpful and when I get up and get ready to go to work I asked God to come with me to work
Pharmacist here. I'm required to work every 3rd weekends and at least 4 holidays a year.
I recently got a side hustle at a inner-city children's hospital to build hospital experience, because I want to exit what I'm doing now at mail order; so lately, I've been working every weekends. I only had 2 days off in the last 2 months since taking on this extra side hustle. I an running myself ragged. Dark circles have taken their permanent place under my eyes. I've been praying to God for a miracle, because I really like this new job. I finally feel like I'm learning and making a difference. But at the sane time, I need more rest days. When I'm not at work, I'm studying to catch up to inpatient medications. I'm praying for a miracle.
Someone send this to fr. Casey at Breaking in the Habit
Thank you Fr Mike 🌟
The seventh-day of the week God rested from all his work which he had created and made. God blessed the last day of the week as a holy day.
A day decidicated to our Father in Heaven🌻
Read all of this revelation, not parts, if you truly want The only Truth Absolute
"This question was asked of The Lord: Lord, what does it mean in the Book of Revelation, where it says, “The 144,000 did not defile themselves with women; they kept themselves pure”?[1]
Thus says The Lord to His servant: Rather the 144,000 have been purchased, redeemed and chosen from the earth as a special offering, and are spiritually undefiled, pure as virgins.[2] Timothy, you have asked, and I have answered you plainly. Thus I tell you, you are of the number, I have already placed you within their ranks; My seal is upon your forehead.[3]
Yet those who envy seek to cause doubt, by questioning your worthiness and defilement with women. And because of this, they reject My Word spoken to this generation. Therefore they remain in their sins, for they want no part with Me as I truly am. They have removed themselves far from Me, and seek to draw others away also, that they might feel validated in their unjust cause. Yet who The Lord has cleansed is worthy of His purpose; call him not unworthy or defiled. For that which comes from the heart of man does indeed defile the man, yet that which comes from God is holy.
Therefore fear, all you who point the finger, and humble yourselves, all you who twist My words for your own gain, lest you be found guilty of blaspheming the Holy Spirit. For the defilement which was written, and remains misinterpreted by men, is not defilement with the daughters of men, but defilement with the churches of men, who remain daughters of the church called mother. For she is a harlot, says The Lord. Thus spiritual purification begins with grace, and is for those whom I have chosen to become virgin in spirit, even a complete cleansing of every aspect of their lives.
All men are defiled, having fallen
Into all manner of diverse temptations;
There is none righteous in all the earth, no, not one...
Yet all who repent, in sincerity and in truth,
Are cleansed in the blood of The Lamb,
Which is pure and holy...
Therefore, those whom I have called to be My witnesses
Must become pure in heart and in spirit;
Set apart from the world and the churches of men,
Who cease not from polluting My name
And marring My image before the people.
Timothy, you have not sat among the prideful, nor have you kept the company of those deceived in the churches of men. You have accepted no doctrine at all. Indeed, you were like clay which had been molded by the world, yet remained unmolded in spirit. Behold, even when you were yet in your mother’s womb, I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet, a witness for My name, an enemy to all nations. Thus you put no faith in the doctrines of the world, nor did you accept any doctrine taught in the churches of men. As for your body and mind, yes, you did become defiled by sin, of this you were guilty, as are all who have gained maturity. Yet I have taken your sins from you and remember your iniquities no more. Therefore, I ask you, what defilement remains? For what The Lord has cleansed, in the blood of The Lamb, is a new creation - virgin.
Behold, I am the same yesterday, today, and all tomorrows to come, says The Lord. No contradiction found. Thus all error belongs to men, exploited by the wicked one for his own evil purpose. Therefore, what I have written I have written; it stands. And that which I have written through My servant, John, stands also, though it is greatly misinterpreted, the error of which is compounded by the mistranslations of men.
Yet worse still is the interpretation of My Word by men of intellect and learning, who shroud their arrogance in pretense and hide their error under the guise of established doctrine - unprofitable servants who lead My people astray. For My Word is for all who truly seek Me and long to know My ways, even to walk in them. Thus My Word can only be accepted and understood by those who have received the love of the Truth, for they abide in Me and My spirit resides within them. For how can one who stands apart from Me know Me? And how can one who teaches his own way walk with Me in Mine?
Men do not have understanding of the Scriptures in themselves! Rather it is a gift from God, received through the Holy Spirit, given to those who have placed all their trust in The Holy One, embracing Me as I truly am. Or have you never read this Scripture: The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and the knowledge of The Holy One is understanding? Therefore to those who have received is all revealed, and to those who have not received is all shut away. Shall the darkness understand the light? For only those of The Light, bathed in His glory, shall see; the rest left blinded.
For until one calls on the name of The Messiah,
In sincerity and in truth, by no means shall they receive...
For He is The One who had placed
The mud upon their eyes to heal them...
Behold, He is also The Water of Siloam
Which was sent to wash them,
That they might now see, says The Lord."
[1]Revelation 14:4 (KJV)
[2]Revelation 14:1-4 (NLT)
[3]Revelation 14:1
~
"For your ways and your teachings do always contradict sound doctrine. Indeed, your doctrines and traditions profane My holy name, as you further defile yourselves through your acceptance of pagan practices and myths, which have been passed down to you by your forefathers, men who were corrupters and given to corruption, false servants who committed adultery with the pagans and did not wholly separate themselves from the many harlotries of the Catholic Church... I tell you the truth, she shall be torn in pieces!
And yet all you churches of men remain like her, teaching always as doctrine the commandments of men, which has altogether turned you from The Truth. For you profess to know Me, yet by your works you deny Me, being disobedient, abominable, disqualified for every good work. Thus, as it was written of those who rebelled against Me at the first, so it remains concerning you at the last: Your mouths must be stopped. For you have subverted whole households, teaching things which you ought not, for the sake of dishonest gain. For I tell you the truth, you have surely blasphemed the Spirit of God! Says The Lord.
Thus I shall rebuke you sharply for your sins, by which you have rebelled against Me! I shall correct and discipline you for the multitude of your transgressions, by which you have robbed Me! For I have seen in your hearts malice and how you seek to hold others captive, how you hold their sins over their heads and cast judgment, as though it were a hook. Therefore do your sins remain! Therefore must your discipline be severe!
For if I do not punish you for your iniquities, if I do not tear down all your houses and make you very poor and desolate, you can in no wise be joined unto Me, declares The Lord. For I have not forgotten you, nor will I forsake you utterly as the wicked. I will remember you, for I have known you; no, not as you are, but as you will be, when I have broken your pride and brought your haughtiness to the ground, in the day I rob you of all your riches, says The Lord."
~
"I tell you the truth, the very moment one has
A change of heart do they pass from judgment into life...
For I know the hearts of men,
And their thoughts are not at all hidden from Me;
Behold, I look upon their innermost desires,
I know every hidden intention...
Therefore when one calls upon Me,
I know, I see, I hear, regardless of the name
By which they have come to know Me, says The Lord...
For there is but One God and One Savior, and I AM HE.
Yet understand this: In times past I overlooked the ignorance of the people. Yet now I command all people everywhere to repent in sincerity and in truth.[1] In like manner, I have overlooked the ignorance of those who call The Messiah by another name. Yet now I command all who have ears to hear, to call upon His name as it is, was, and has always been, and not as they presume it to be.[2] Indeed I am calling all tribes, tongues, peoples and nations to embrace Him as He truly is, and not as the churches of men would have Him be,[3] says The Lord."
[1]Acts 17:30
[2]Zephaniah 3:9
~
"Does not The Lord Himself search our hearts and minds, even our innermost thoughts and intentions? Does He not know who we are referring to, when we say “Jesus is Lord”? Even throughout the world, believers and unbelievers alike know the name “Jesus” (a name given to YahuShua by men) refers to He who was crucified and rose from the dead. And if we say YAHUSHUA is YAHUWAH, is this not also self-evident?
Even before the earth was made, there is ONE alone who was and is and has always been THE LORD ABSOLUTE, which by definition demands there can be only one. Thus all others, whether man, false deity or carved image, referred to as “Lord” in English or in any other language, are false! - Deceivers! Impostors! Idols! - To call any of these “Lord” is blasphemy, even on the highest order!
For thus has The Lord spoken:
One God...
One Son, The Only Way to The Father...
One Truth, One Word, One Messiah, One Spirit;
One Food, One Bread and One Drink...
One Body...
Of which I am all,
The All in All."
~
"Therefore, again I call you to kiss The Son
And bow before your King!...
For He alone is your salvation,
He alone is your only escape!...
He is The Light, The Only Way, The Only Truth!...
There is no life apart from Him;
Apart from Him is only darkness and death,
The wide path which leads to destruction...
YAHUSHUA-YAHUWAH
Is His name, The Mashiach!...
The Bearer of your cross, The Lover of your soul,
The Risen One, The Mighty One of Jacob...
Immanu El!"

That's the old covenant. Bible didn't end on the book of Exodus. 😂
Currently living in Germany and everything basically shuts down on Sundays. It was such a shock and took sometime to get used to and actually slow down to rest.
Thanks, needed that today. It’s Sunday. I’m a Christian. I am not a slave. Entering into rest intentionally- what a beautiful concept. I am doing that right now.! Blessings Fr Mike!
Exodus 20, is about God’s law, the Sabbath is the 7th day and commanded to remember and keep it. God’s law does not change. The Roman church changed it from the 7th day to the first day of the week. This is a mark of its ecclesiastical authority. God’s mark of authority is the seal of the 7th day Sabbath. God is not wispy washy like people, he requires for his people to show faith and believe his word.
I went here to be clarified that working on a Sunday is a sin. I just learned from my confession yesterday that it was.
A a day of mental mental rest
Amen!
Very true and a good reminder.
Amen 🙏
I’m grateful for the Law of Love. I was hoping it wasn’t sinful to help my Brother on a project after Church. He has two small daughters and a pregnant wife, so we needed to capitalize on some of those times when I was over there.
Love this.. great reminder.
God bless you father
We are not supposed to do our grocery or any other type of shopping on Sunday. The more people shop on Sunday, the more stores stay open on Sunday 💰 💴 💵 💰 SIN.
quote---We are not supposed to do our grocery or any other type of shopping on Sunday. The more people shop on Sunday, the more stores stay open on Sunday. unquote
WHY?? Who said so? God or man???
Exodus 20:8-11 KJV
Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.
--WHERE does GOD say the Sabbath is the FIRST day of the week?????????
Thank you!
In my experience I have discovered that God is dynamic. Its the only word I can think of because of the amazing things he longs to do for us when we trust him. His joy for us is to reveal himself to us in an intimate personal way as if we were the only ones in the world he cares for. He can't force or compel our will. That door handle is on the inside. So he patiently waits gently knocking for admission. God is keenly aware of every breath we take. He knows every intimate thought we think. He reads our heart like and open book. There is no hiding from God. Regardless of how bleak our circumstances may appear God is the God of miracles. When we put God first and step out in faith we give him an opportunity to work on our behalf
I love the photo of our lady on the wall. God bless you our lady keep you
Love it!
You’re so good
We make it a point to not go out to eat or shop on Sundays if we can help it. Doing so causes demand that will be met by employees being forced to work. If every Christian refused to spend money on Sundays more places would close on Sundays.
Good answer 👏
Because it a celebration of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ as our first fruits, on the first of the week.
This was really helpful. Thank you.
❤️
Very enlightening! Thank you very much.
I remember when i was younger all the stores were closed you had no choice but to be with family and friends after mass of course
yeeeesss needed this, my grandpa says Sundays are sabbath days supposed to rest, makes sense
On the one hand, I think society has gotten pushed to have that competitive edge over each other and, as such, it is everyone who works almost 24/7 not only for competition but to feed themselves as well that they get to brag about putting out blood, sweat, and tears just to get on top of the competition. On the other, I think we're so focused on having enough money each month that we forget that God will provide for us as long as we trust in Him.
Thank you Fr Mike 🙏
As a landscaper, I work within the confines of the weather, so I work many Sundays. Missing Sunday mass is not a mortal sin, unless it's intentionally done.
A day of Mental Health
What about hobbies, is sewing because you find it relaxing a sin? It doesn't prevent me attending Mass, but it does help distract me from certain bad habits - like snacking because of boredom
Great reminder father. Can I ask if you could do a video on Catholic unity. I see lots of negative comments and videos about the Pope by Catholics, is this the enemy dividing us ?
In the Catechism of the Catholic Church it extends to other holy days of obligation as well in which here in the United States there are five Solemnities that might not land upon a Sunday which are Mary the Mother of God, The Assumption of Mary, All Saints Day, The Immaculate Conception of Mary, and The Nativity of Jesus (Christmas). These are also days of rest yet Catholics most unknowingly work on these days and yes attending Mass is obligated on these days. Take these days off from work if you can.
--Quote the Holy Bible that says GOD RESTED on the First day of the week to make that day special.
--Quote the Holy Bible that says GOD BLESSED the First day of the week to make that day special.

I'll be waiting for a reply.
--quote---which are Mary the Mother of God --unquote
Mary is NOT the mother of God. Since God is the creator, how can Mary be the mother? God has NO Beginning, No end.
---quote--The Assumption of Mary, unquote
Assumption--to believe in something with NO FACTS!!! ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in scripture even coming close to her being in heaven. The Bible says:
John 3:13
"No one has gone up to heaven except the one who came down from heaven, the Son of Man who is in heaven. ... . NO ONE EXCEPT Jesus!!!
---Last time mary is even mentioned IN the Bible is when she is with the disciples in the upper room. Acts
---quote--The Nativity of Jesus (Christmas).=-unquote
Jesus WAS NOT born on Dec 25th. That is a PAGAN holyday. According to Catholics, Jesus was crucified on April 4th. His ministry to be 3.5 years.
Normal gestation for humans is 9 months, 10 days.
Counting back 6 months (the 1/2 year of Jesus' ministry) equals--- October 4th.--Minus the 10 days of gestation equals September 24th.
The shepherds were in the hills, on Dec 25th? NO WAY!! To cold and snow. They would have been in the valleys.
--quote--The Immaculate Conception of Mary --unquote
Nope--unless God is a liar!!!
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
IT SAYS "ALL" with NO EXCEPTIONS!!!!------
What is the meaning of Roman 3 23?
Because none of us are sinless, all of us fall short of God's glory. That matters, because we cannot be saved from God's angry judgment against our sin except by being sinless. That is God's standard, and we all fall short of His "glory" because of our sin.
-----The ONLY one sinless was Jesus!!!
Proverbs 20:9; Ecclesiastes 7:20; Romans 3:23; James 3:2; 1 John 1:8; 1 John 1:10
9 Who can say, “I have made my heart pure;
I am clean from my sin”?
20 Surely there is not a righteous man on earth who does good and never sins.
23 for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
2 For we all stumble in many ways. And if anyone does not stumble in what he says, he is a perfect man, fable also to bridle his whole body.
8 If we say we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
----Catholics say Mary was sinless--that makes them liars!~!!!

There's a funny scene in Year One. Amidst a group of slaves, there is a hard worker. One asks him, "How long have you been a slave?" He responds, "Oh, I'm not a slave; I'm a volunteer!" And later he comments, "Ya gotta love being outside." Hahaha. Good advice, Fr. Mike. It is very important to rest. God bless.
(Incidentally, on 11/24/21, "Black Saints and Slave Communities in Early Modern Catholicism (w/ Dr. Erin Rowe)" will premiere on Gospel Simplicity)
You have amazing timing with this video. This is exactly what I am soon going to have to deal with in regards to my job on Sunday. Hopefully I can work to change that but I need the wisdom to be convincing to those who dont keep the sabbath restful.
About the catholic church: Change the Sabbath"
Had she not such power, she could not have done that in which all modern religionists agree with her,- she could not have substituted the observance of Sunday, the first day of the week, for the observance of Saturday, the seventh day, a change for which there is no Scriptural authority."- "A Doctrinal Catechism," by Rev. Stephen Keenan, page 174.
"The Catholic Church of its own infallible authority created Sunday a holy day to take the place of the Sabbath of the old law."- Kansas City Catholic, Feb. 9, 1893.
"The Catholic Church, . . . by virtue of her divine mission, changed the day from Saturday to Sunday."- Catholic Mirror, official organ of Cardinal Gibbons, Sept. 23, 1893.
"Ques.- Which is the Sabbath day?
"Ans.- Saturday is the Sabbath day.
"Ques.- Why do we observe Sunday instead of Saturday?
"Ans.- We observe Sunday instead of Saturday because the Catholic Church, in the Council of Laodicea (A. D. 336), transferred the solemnity from Saturday to Sunday ."- "The Convert's Catechism of Catholic Doctrine," by Rev. Peter Geiermann, C. SS. R.., page 50, third edition, 1913, a work which received the "apostolic blessing" of Pope Pius X, Jan. 25, 1910.
What was done at the Council of Laodicea was but one of the steps by which the change or the Sabbath was effected. The date usually given for this council is 364 A. D.

@@mitchellosmer1293 Kind of an old comment to be replying to, mitch. Anyways, we are not bound to the law of the old testament, including the 10 commandments. But, the new testament affirms all but 1 of the commandments. The 1 commandment that is not affirmed is the old sabbath. Still, I dont see anything wrong keeping holy the day marked as the beginning of our new covenant. That commandment which kept holy the sabbath of the old covenant was fulfilled on the cross.

>>>>>quote--That commandment which kept holy the sabbath of the old covenant was fulfilled on the cross. unquote
Why do you insist on taking verses OUT od CONTEXT???
If thhe Sabbath was abolished at the cross, WHY did the mother of Jesus STILL Keep it that Friday evening?? Why did the disciples keep it in Acts???
Did Jesus NEGLECT to tell anyone, especially His mother and disciples???
THAT MAKES JESUS A SINER BY OMISSION!!! NEGLECT!!! Jesus a SINNER NO LONGER qualified to be our savior!! Which then means we are ALL still NOT SAVED. His death meant NOTHING!!!

Being a student it’s rlly hard for me to rest on sundays. I have a lot of homework and gets that I need to get done and sometimes it ends up being on sundays. I love the block method where you take a portion of your time on one day and another day. I’m definitely going to try that out, and do it till I can fully master taking a break on Sunday
It was the same for me when I was in college 4 years ago. What I found out is that if I worked a little more every day of the week, especially Friday night and all day Saturday, I could rest on Sunday. I would have to sacrifice going out Friday night and relaxing on Saturdays, but it was worth it. Ftr I had a very hard major. It is always possible.

Remember this Sabbath day (Saturday) and keep it Holy. Holy means set apart.

There can be an argument for Sunday being the actual Sabbath, Saturday as far back as computers can calculate has always been the true Sabbath. I’m not 100% certain who changed it! I’ve heard it said that it was Constantine, the Catholic Church!? Who knows, but our True rest is in Jesus, Amen!
Ah yes, the Blue Laws. The history behind these is unique and in the earliest of years, it could be punished by death in the earliest days of the American colonies.

Thank you Father Mike. God Bless you!
I work Sundays out of financial necessity...don't work, no money, no food, no shelter...
I requested though, that I at least have the morning off...and use that time to rest and go to church. I don't think it's good either, to go to church and be idle for the rest of the day. If I've procrastinated on certain tasks in the week, Sunday is an opportunity to complete those tasks, reassess and start the week fresh. To me it's not work, it's "what do I need to do to make this task easier so that I can....blah blah..."
Just a quick recommendation, you might want to capitalize “Church” and “Catholic”
@@nickmaenza2226 no. "church" refers to the building and place of worship. "Church" refers to Holy Mother Church as institution of Christ's Body. The same goes for catholic vs. Catholic. It is correct religious grammartization for the meaning I wish to convey.

I used to work Sunday’s, until now.
Sunday after mass If I realize I'm almost out of gas Can I go to the filling station and fill up my car. Because sometimes I don't get paid on time to get gas during the week.
We are a land without a Sunday.
It was already happening, and addressed in Maria VonTrapp's book, around the year with the VonTrapp Family.
And another one of Russia errors.
Kudos for chick fil a and hobby lobby being closed on Sundays!
Agreed.
Is it okay to work on Sundays once in a while?
I was most disappointed to hear that cutting the lawn and gardening is ‘restful’ work 😂 No excuses now…
If you don’t take time to rest, you become less, not more, efficient
I can only work so many hours day due to health problem. If l lose this job l am done. If god stops me working on a Sunday l am finished. I have earn living.
I rest too much. I need to work. I wonder simpler life was when people stopped working at sun down.
Hi, Father I want to know because I read in the Bible that the seventh day is the day of the lord to keep holy but Sunday cannot be sabbath because is the first day of the week when Jesus resurrected. Can you please explain why is the changed on the day
Thank you Fr. Mike and Ascension team! You are making such an impact with great heart and content. On that note... #AskAscension can you do video on Convalidation. Between these videos and the Bible in a Year, there are married people coming back to the Church or into the Church. Convalidation can be a very difficult and sensitive topic! I would love to have the Church teaching on this topic with your pastoral approach of straight forward love.
That's a great idea!
Did you say the 2nd commandment of God tells us to rest on the Sabbath? It's the 3rd, Father. You need more rest. 😉🙏😴
I heard the DJ record scratch sound in my head as soon as he said it
This is sad😢
If I typically go to Saturday vigil mass, does that mean I should rest on Saturday?
When I used to go to Saturday night Mass, my sabbath would start at 5pm on Saturday and conclude at 5pm on Sunday. I felt I was still honoring the Lord for 24 hours - but making sure attending Mass was part of it. I'm not sure if that is correct, but it felt right for me. :-)
I confess I used to not try as hard to rest on Sundays, but more recently I have been trying to do this more. It does make a huge difference to your mental state and overall feelings of mental health and well-being. What I do is if I have things I need to get done, I try and plan ahead to get them all done before Sunday hits, that way I can get my rest. It's easier to enjoy life if you are actually taking the time to rest on Sundays. People make excuses but looking back I feel that I felt more stressed in general if I didn't give that rest to myself. Having some job to get done, some work to do, it's better to plan ahead, do it all before, even when you're a student and stressed about passing the class. This also helps you learn to value your time more, if not manage it a little better.

What about inflation and having to work on Sunday so you can provide for your family inflation can nip away at that need to rest because it’s a form of taxation and theft
People on my country are formally christians ( orthodox) but mostly by name. Only few are practicants or even bigots.
But, even if they dont go to church on sunday they still are very commited to not work on sunday especially old women who consider this a sin (worse than almost all the other).
And young ateheists ( or even the old ones) are really pissed about this, they claim how idiot one can be thinking is sinfull to work but not to actually sin, like getting drunk, fornicate, arguing, gossiping, planning crimes and so on
You addressed this briefly, but I'd love to have some clarification on how moms can rest on Sundays. I am a stay-at-home with 5 kids under 9 years old, so besides not doing laundry, my Sunday duties are pretty much like every other day. My husband usually smokes a cigar and listens to a podcast in the afternoon, but I feel like I don't have the luxury of taking a couple hours off to be unavailable to my kids. Are Sundays just for men/people who have jobs?
He said "the law of love trumps the law of rest," which applies to parenthood in general. So yeah, I would take that to mean people need to do what they need to do to take care of their kids. That goes for any parent, not just the mom.
Cook an extra large meal on Saturday and have leftovers for supper on Sunday (just warming it up is much less work than cooking it from scratch). Also, do extra cleaning and laundry throughout the week so you don’t need to on sundays.
You're right, it's almost impossible to get rest as a mother of small children. Take your Sabbaths where you can, even if it's just going out for a coffee while someone else watches them for you.
Mom would get us to help with chores, even laundry...the older kids first then the younger ones...I'm the youngest of 6.

Why??? For example, David says,
I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. (Psalm 32:5)
-----We find the same pattern in the New Testament in a parable told by Jesus:
“The tax collector, standing far off, would not even lift up his eyes to heaven, but beat his breast, saying, ‘God, be merciful to me, a sinner!’ I tell you, this man went down to his house justified, rather than the other.” (Luke 18:13-14)
----Here are a couple things to keep in mind:
1. You can confess your sins directly to God. You do not need to confess to a pastor, priest, or spiritual leader to be forgiven.
You do not need another human mediator, since (by faith) you already have Jesus Christ: “For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus…” (1 Timothy 2:5).
This is what Paul was talking about when he said,
But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far off have been brought near by the blood of Christ. For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. (Ephesians 2:13-18)

Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy work: but the seventh day is the sabbath of the LORD thy God: in it thou shalt not do any work, thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy manservant, nor thy maidservant, nor thy cattle, nor thy stranger that is within thy gates: for in six days the LORD made heaven and earth, the sea, and all that in them is, and rested the seventh day: wherefore the LORD blessed the sabbath day, and hallowed it.

When you apply for a job That issue should be brought up And not work on Sundays that is a sabbath day . So you don't have Deal With asking for time off on Sundays You tell them that the very beginning and tell them I'm at the end of you.

When our nation shall so abjure the principles of its government as to enact a Sunday law, Protestantism will in this act join hands with popery; it will be nothing else than giving life to the tyranny which has long been eagerly watching its opportunity to spring again into active despotism.-Testimonies for the Church 5:712.
By the decree of enforcing the institution of the Papacy in violation of the law of God, our nation will disconnect herself fully from righteousness. When Protestantism shall stretch her hand across the gulf to grasp the hand of the Roman power, when she shall reach over the abyss to clasp hands with Spiritualism, when, under the influence of this threefold union, our country shall repudiate every principle of its Constitution as a Protestant and Republican government, and shall make provision for the propagation of papal falsehoods and delusions, then we may know that the time has come for the marvelous working of Satan, and that the end is near.
What's great for me I don't miss mass Samsung retired I don't have to worry about having the boss tell me I can't do that.
I’m praying about whether to host a party for my 8yo daughter and her friends and their moms( my friends). I prefer Saturday but Sunday works better due to circumstances… I want to facilitate crafts ( so fun for me) but I know that a certain level of work is involved. Am I being scrupulous?
I know this is a month late but for what is worth my opinion would be that yes, it is scrupulous, I wouldn't catalog hosting a party as work, even though I know how much effort it goes into it!
Take one day of rest a week.
on Sunday
How about we rest on the actual Sabbath day with is sanctified and blessed by Jehovah Elohim.
Genesis 2:2-3 KJVS
And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made. [3] And God blessed the seventh day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work which God created and made.
I find it a strange the idea that not going to church on Sunday is a mortal sin for Catholics. The Old Testament doesn't command public worship attendance on the Sabbath and neither does the New Testament say Christians must attend church in Sunday. In the OT acts of worship are woven into life and into the seasons and the Sabbath is "a day holy to the Lord". NT believers meet together regularly, including Sundays. They eat together and do stuff that we wouldn't necessarily recognise as a church service.
How would one celebrate the Eucharist at home?

9 Six days you shall labor and do all your work,
10 but the seventh day is a sabbath to the LORD your God. On it you shall not do any work, neither you, nor your son or daughter, nor your male or female servant, nor your animals, nor any foreigner residing in your towns.

Wait. The SECOND commandment is worship and rest!? King James Bible says that is to not worship images/idols. The FOURTH commandment is to Remember the Sabbath Day (Saturday). I am confused why you said that or was it just a mistake from speaking rapidly?
So why has the Sabbath rest part of the Mosaic law not been fulfilled by Christ's sacrifice?
The rest is for our benefit. ( The Sabbath was created for man, not man for the Sabbath.) Christ's sacrifice is for our sins. Work is not a sin or something we need saving from
God made the world in six days and rested on the seventh, sanctifying this day, and setting it apart from all others as holy to Himself to be observed by His people throughout their generations.
But the man of sin, exalting himself above God, sitting in the temple of God, and showing himself to be God, thought to change times and laws. This power thinking to prove that it was not only equal to God, but above God. changed the rest day, placing the first day of the week where the seventh should be. And the protestant world has taken this child of the papacy to be regarded as sacred. In the Word of God this is called her fornication.
God has a controversy with the churches of today. They are fulfilling the prophecy of John. "All nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication". They have divorced themselves from God by refusing to receive His sign. They have not the spirit of God's true commandment keeping people. And the people of the world, in giving their sanction to a false sabbath, and in trampling under their feet the Sabbath of the Lord, have drunk of he wine of the wrath of her fornication .
Amen dear Sammy - Let us pray all of these brothers and sisters will have their eyes and hearts opened to know that this is a great deception and a lie. BTW - there is only ONE Father and that is our Father in Heaven. Blessings dear all.
Dear Father is it considered a sin to shop on a Sunday ? What about going to a restaurant or movie?
I go to mass on Sunday if I have an evening shift. I can't go if I have mornings. But I do my best.
Jesus said to keep the sabbath holy. Worship on sunday is just as mandatory as the rest of the week. But keep the sabbath for god declared to adam and eve that it is a holy day. And sabbath is only the 7th day of the week.
Although the Sabbath is Saturday. Only man changed it to Sunday. If u want to keep Gods commandments, take your rest Friday sundown to Saturday sundown
I honestly think Sunday has nothing to do about resting it's more about keeping the day holy. Jesus healed on the Sabath and took a lot of flack for it. Jesus said, "Who among you would not not help your neighbor get his beast of burden out of a ditch on the Sabath?" Also, "The Sabath was made for man not man for the Sabath," Jesus declared. Indeed we need to be busy being vigilant against the devil on Sunday just as much as any other day of the week, maybe even moreso as the Day of the Lord approaches.
