Second Tuesday of Ordinary Time

The sabbath was made for man, not man for the sabbath. That is why the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.

The Sabbath was made for us. It is a day we should keep holy, but it is also a day for feasting and doing good works. Just as in the Mass we celebrate and feast with God, so too should we carry the sense of thanksgiving into our daily lives. We should spend time with family and friends, help those in need, and do all we can to proclaim the Gospel through our words and works.

How do we spend our Sabbath? In what ways can we celebrate it in a meaningful and spiritually rewarding way? How do we thank God for giving us the example of a day of rest?

O Lord, grant us the wisdom to enjoy the Sabbath with you.

Amen.
