SUNDAY: DAY OF THE LORD
Sunday is the day of rest, because it is the day blessed by God and made holy by Him — set apart from the other days to be, among all of them, the Lord’s day.
SUNDAY: DAY OF THE LORD
Principles
- Since the earliest days of the Church, Sunday has been kept holy as the day of the Lord.
- Sunday is also the day of the Church, since we gather with the community.
- Sunday is the day of the Eucharist, since Sunday Mass is the center of the Church’s life.
- Sunday should be treated differently than the other days of the week, and it should be a day of worship for the Christian family.
