Scripture: "Six days you may labor and do all your work; but the seventh day is the Sabbath of the Lord, your God... For remember that you too were once slaves in Egypt, and the Lord, your God, brought you from there with his strong hand and outstretched arm. That is why the Lord, your God, has commanded you to observe the Sabbath day."
(Deuteronomy 5: 13, 14a, 15)
Holy Mother Mary's Words: " Respect and keep what the Lord says : I gave you six days to work; I kept the seventh for myself"
Meditation: Yes, the seventh day belongs to God and God shares this gift with us. This consecrated time is meant to free us from the vicious cycle of production and consumerism. It points us to the greater reality of God's presence and our life of grace. We are restored to the divine image.
The One who made the Heaven and the earth has reserved this day for Himself to remind us that we are "God's children in Christ". (Romans 8:16). In sharing the Body of Christ we are called to be the Body of Christ. We are given into one another's care as were Jesus' Holy Mother and disciple at the foot of His Cross.
Prayer: Faithful Virgin of La Salette, thou uphold our dignity as free people and as children of God. May the Day of the Lord shine on us and give meaning to our work and our relationships so that in Jesus Christ we may give thanks to God.
