“Remember to keep holy the Lord's Day.” (Third Commandment) "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. In verdant pastures he gives me repose; beside restful waters he leads me; he refreshes my soul." (Psalm 23:1-3) "The world will never be satisfied with what you give it. The world is always going to demand more of you. It will never leave you alone, it will never back off, it will never require less of you than it does today....The world will want to fill every single space of your life and claim ownership over it." -Fr. Brian Larkin If You Give a Mouse a Cookie, by Laura Joffe Numeroff Invasive brown tree snakes (National Geographic) "'Come away by yourselves to a deserted place and rest a while.'” (Mark 6:31) "If you do not have rest in your life, you will never find joy in your faith." -Fr. Brian Leisure the Basis of Culture, by Josef Pieper Rest is not not doing work. We tend to think that rest is either the absence of work, or its restful activity. Here's the thing, it's not.
