Sunday really should be a day for Bible study and reflection. Did you know you can get a partial indulgence for doing a Bible study on Sunday? That says a lot I think.

We ask Him to bless the day for us and for us to appreciate the fact that He rested after He said that everything was good. So we look back on our week together and talk about what was good about it and what we could have done better. We do not shop, or clean, or do laundry or anything that looks like work. I will cook sometime, but try to keep it simple. It's a day for getting in touch with family members and truly resting. In the evening, we pray the rosary before bed. I guess the main thing about being "sabbathical" is attitude. We thank God every Sunday morning for His day of rest.

We would go to Mass and just invite home anyone and everyone for Sunday brunch. Then we would have impromptu praise and worship for an hour or so. Good times, and good point in your article. =) Sometimes I really miss my Steubie U Sundays sometimes! We would go to Mass and just invite home anyone and everyone for Sunday brunch.

For example yesterday, we started out with Faith Formation for our child making her first communion, then attended a Latin Mass, followed by a parish potluck with 2 talks by our priest about apologetics and catechism. After that we usually end up at a friend's house for games, food and a rosary. We usually discuss past homily's, books we've read, etc. and have a wonderful day. Thanks be to God.
