Keep holy the Sabbath: The laundry will wait

By The Catholic Herald|2016-04-02T00:59:22-05:00Sep 29, 2010|General|

training-color-ret Our family has had trouble with the fourth commandment: Keep holy the Sabbath day. It’s not that we skip Mass on Sunday, but rather that, too often, we only keep holy the Sabbath hour and a half (our time at Mass), rather than the Sabbath day itself.

We live in a neighborhood with a high population of Orthodox Jews. Their Sabbath runs from sundown Friday evening to sundown Saturday. During this 24-hour period, they may not drive, cook, clean, shop, mow their lawns, do laundry, repair problem areas of their home or play in soccer tournaments. There are probably additional things they may not do, but these are the ones I notice, since that’s what Bill and I are generally up to while they are walking past our house back and forth to synagogue.
