    • I thought that this subject was disucssed in another thread, but I did not find it.

    My question then is: Is it permissible to exercise on Sunday?

    Thank you.

    • There was a similar topic here five years ago, in which I provided this quote from Fr Heribert Jone's "Moral Theology":

    Quote
    191 The Third Commandment
    ....
    THE SUNDAY REST

    The Sunday rest requires abstinence from all servile work, judicial acts and commercial occupation. There are reasons that excuse.

    I. Servile work (opera servilia) is occupation primarily performed by corporal powers and for material purposes.

    Such works are plowing, sowing, harvesting, etc.; sewing, cobbling, tailoring, printing, masonry work, etc.; all work in mines and factories, etc.

    In some places custom justifies shaving, hair cutting, knitting, crocheting, etc.

    It is also permitted to go walking, riding, driving, rowing, journeying, even though these be very fatiguing.

    • If you feel possessed to do so, I would say the power of Christ compells you to exorcise.
