"Blessed are all those who are careful to do this.
Blessed are those who honor my Sabbath days of rest and keep themselves from doing wrong." (Isaiah 56: 2 NLT)
What is your attitude to the third Commandment? "Thou shall keep holy the Sabbath day."
Why is this Commandment loaded with so many blessings in Sacred Scripture? The Sabbath day comes once a week and reminds us of creation and the Resurrection of Jesus in a weekly rhythm that forces us to pause our hectic addiction to activity. The Sabbath Rest is a rehearsal for Eternal Rest.
He who keeps holy the Lord's Day is blessed in accordance with the promises. He who fails to observe it has nobody to blame but himself.
Come O Lord of the Sabbath.
