Dies Domini

Keeping the Lord's Day Holy

John Paul II, Pope

The importance of keeping Sunday as a rest day

Tweet

In today’s world many calls are made on the best use of Sunday and the ‘week-end’, with a wide range of social, political and commercial pressures coming to bear. Sunday is lived with different intensity in different parts of the Church. With that in mind, the Holy Father offers a panorama of the history of the Sabbath and the Lord’s Day, and an excellent commentary on the centrality and importance of the Eucharist in the life of the Christian and of the community. The profound reflections made in this Letter as to how pastors and faithful can today rediscover at the hands of Our Risen Lord what is truly ours, are inspiring and contribute greatly to the Church’s teaching and understanding.
