- Chris says of the commandment to keep holy the Sabbath “On the Surface, it was about rest and worship, but on a deeper level it was about freedom…The Sabbath has forever put kings and bosses in their place, saying to them “There is an agenda for mankind that is higher than yours.” What are the world’s agendas that distract you from rest and worship? What kinds of busy-ness keep you enslaved?
- He points out that rest is not just idle activity, it is savoring God’s blessings found in truth, beauty and goodness. How/When do you experience rest that is life giving feeding your soul and bringing you closer to God.
- When speaking of service, he quotes Gaudium et Spes # 24 in which the Council Fathers pointed out that God created us in His own image and thus mankind, “cannot fully find himself except through a sincere gift of himself.”. In other words we must follow Jesus’ example of self-sacrifice for the good of others. When have you experienced finding yourself by serving others? As lent approaches consider ways that you may serve others and thus lean into Christ’s cross.
