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.

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.

How do I treat Sunday differently than the other six days of the week?

How do I keep holy the Lord’s day?

What could my family and/or I do to observe Sunday in a special way?
