Who can work on Sundays?
« on: July 23, 2018, 02:15:19 AM »
Can you work on Sundays in any of the following jobs?: 
1. Security guard for a building guarding an empty building.
2. Truck driver that delivers food or medical supplies.
3. Locksmith.
4. Roadside assistance.

This last weekend I wasn't thinking when my boss asked if I could work from 7 PM on Saturday to 7 AM on Sunday and I said yes, so I worked 
Sunday as a security guard just guarding a building making sure there weren't issues. 
So I was wondering if that was sinful, and the other professions I listed I was just curious about because I might do them in the future.

Did your work prevent you from assisting at mass?

The jobs you mention seem to be 'of necessity' to the health, safety, and well-being of others.  If so, you may do them on Sunday if it is necessary for you, personally to meet your obligations or your presence is necessary to others.  If at all possible, you should hear Mass as well.  If working precludes ability to hear Mass, then try to limit the number of Sundays you work in order to sometimes get to Mass.  Also, if you must miss Mass, try to get to a weekday Mass.  
If you are a Home Aloner, you may work, but do set aside enough time to have a Holy Hour.  The goal is that you have kept the Lord's Day Holy.

Working on sunday is very grace according to St John Vianney - avoid it if you can.
