TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Although New Year's Day has been fixed firmly on January 1 for several hundred years, Labor Day has the feel of a great dividing line between leisure and routine. The pace of life has since picked up, and new schedules and commitments crowd us. In the background is God's call to con-sider the third commandment, still life-giving and binding, to make holy the Lord's Day by worship and rest. Jews see the Sabbath, Saturday, not so much as a day of worship, but as a day of rest, a day of renewing friendship with God by delighting in the beauty of creation and the joy of family and friends. It is a day for contemplating the wonder of God's creation, but not disturbing it. For Christians in the first three centuries, the Lord's Day, Sunday, was not for rest, but wor-ship. It was a regular work day. People met be-fore dawn, and after Eucharist hurried off to dai-ly routines. Today we come to Mass, but many hurry off to essential work, not a day of rest. The Lord's Day is not the Sabbath, but we can en-hance Sunday's ability to transform us if we con-sider embracing some Sabbath values: having a family meal, going for a walk in a beautiful place, making room in our lives to open our-selves more fully to holiness of life in Christ. --James Field, Copyright (c) J.
