Lent Day 4

The Third Commandment is "Remember thou keep holy The Lord's Day".

Does that mean we have to spend the whole day in church? No, but if there are 168 hours in a week, is it too much to ask that you give only one of those hours back?

Some do not attend Mass because they get bored, but that is missing the point. You are not there to be entertained, you are there to give thanks for the many blessings you have been given.

Are there other ways to keep the day holy? Yes, spend time with your loved ones, doing what THEY want to do instead of what YOU want to do. Jesus Himself once said whenever two or three of you are gathered in My Name, there I am in the midst of you. That makes it holy.
