Norseman82 Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 My normal rule of thumb regarding major work on a Sunday is to ask myself: can I do it on another day? I normally don't consider straightening up papers and bills major work like digging up a garden. But then again, some forms of labor I actually find relaxing! Go figure.

homeschoolmom Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 [quote name='Brother Adam' date='Jul 10 2005, 05:04 PM']Right, so relaxing and everything. But should this mean refraining of doing anything or going anywhere that would cause someone to have to work unnecessarily (restraunts, grocery stores)? Should I do homework and work on my online apostolates on Sunday? Should I even be on the internet on Sunday? [right][snapback]638653[/snapback][/right] [/quote] I look at it this way-- I don't refrain from going out to eat or to the grocery store on Sunday because I think it is overly legalistic. Besides, I am denying someone the opportunity to earn a living if I "boycott" on Sunday. For me, going out for lunch on Sunday gives me a chance to relax and not have to rush home in a frazzle and feed hungry children (though eating out today was a NIGHTMARE!) I would try to avoid doing homework on Sunday, unless you are going to put yourself in such a time crunch that you are stressed the rest of the week. Errands I don't mind doing on Sunday because I can go by myself... and that, to me, is peaceful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] I know. You threw out a generic protestant jab so I countered. That's all. and what do you mean by community service in my case?

mulls Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 since I am a procrastinator by nature, during school I would always wait until Sunday night to do my homework for Monday. and because of that i would always be anxious all Sunday long because I knew I had stuff hanging over my head. to remedy this I tried to follow a friend's lead and implement a full 24 hour sabbath, starting Saturday night around 8 or so. This way I would relax, have leisure time, and be able to focus on the Lord for a full 24 hours, and wouldn't allow myself to worry about anything else until the 'sabbath' was over, 8pm Sunday night. I'm not disciplined so this didn't really have the total desired affect, but it did help somewhat, and I have friends who it works great for. Maybe this helps.

IcePrincessKRS Posted July 11, 2005 Share Posted July 11, 2005 (edited) haha Well, when I first started reading this thread I contemplated moving it because it wasn't a debate.... but not I'm not so sure... Oh yeah, my Sunday's sound alot like HSMom's. Sometimes we go to the grocery store together as a family, too, and its easier because Matt is there to help, and its fun because we're together. We also like to go to parks and cemetarys to take walks. Edited July 11, 2005 by IcePrincessKRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I inquired about the practice, I was told that is was an adaptation of a common practice among appalacion (sp!) protestants. Now, this certainly is problematic. It is akin to "healing" Mass where healing prayers are offered to those suffering "emotional" or "spitiual" problems. In this Masses, the real Sacrament of healing, the Sacrament of Confession/Penance, is completely ignored. Instead, it is substituted with prayers and the use of holy oil anoitings. It is also a quasi-sacramental fabrication. Many catholics throughout the US have these "healing" Masses. Does that make it right? There is something very questionable about having a psuedo-representation of the Mass. It just promulgates that attitude of the Mass as abanquet (the Mass is the Sacrifice). It also perpetuates poor theological formation by placing the emphasis of theologies on the wrong things (for instance, the Lords Prayer as a communal expression, not a prayer, the altar being refered to as a table and not what is it, an altar, the lose of the Sanctuary which has now been reduced to just the altar, ect, ect.) The Church has so many beautiful devoations, why create one (or use ione that has it's roots in protestant practice?) It is also beyond me why anyone would partake in a "lord's day" celebration at a Catholic University when Mass is available several time a day, seven days a week. You've got the real thing, why farce it? The Lord's Day is a major reason why I won't join a household at Steubenville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
