Sundays and Holydays

|

In my family, we faithfully observe the Lord's Day by avoiding any unnecessary servile work. It often means we need to scramble on other days of the week, to get chores, shopping and other errands done; but we've found that keeping the Lord's Day truly holy, that is, set apart from the rest, has been profoundly beneficial for the whole family.

Further, in case you haven't noticed, I always make it a practice to keep all computers completely shut down on Sundays and Holydays (that is, days on which I'm not obligated to work), taking advantage of the time for family activities. A wise priest once told us that, just as we are to avoid unnecessary servile work on Sundays and Holydays, machines also should be permitted a day of rest, so to speak. Since taking his advice, we find our Sundays and Holydays even more fulfilling; being focused on getting physically, mentally and spiritually re-juvenated - and doing so as a family. Great advice!
