What to do on Sunday?

    • We are given a break from physical drudge work so that we can attend to our soul and mind.

    Sunday is the day to do things of culture -- art, sing, listen to music, poetry, writing, reading, dancing, having conversation, sports (especially with family), socializing -- things that make us cultured, sociable, normal human beings.

    We are firstly supposed to do things that tend to help our SOUL (visit the sick, visit family, talk about the Faith, read spiritual works we normally wouldn't find time for, etc.). But it's equally OK to do things for the good of our MINDS -- such as the above list.

    Basically, the liberal arts. Things that have no UTILITARIAN value -- philosophy, music, art, literature, history.

    There is seldom time for such important human activities during the busy work week, when we are occupied with work, food, clothing, and shelter (caring for our BODIES).


    In Christ,

    Matthew

    • 'What to do on Sunday?'

    After assisting at a traditional Catholic Mass -- or praying it at home if you cannot find one -- spend time with your family doing all or many of the things you mentioned.  We must found and nurture Catholic families.
