Deep dives

Living Sunday with Reverence

Sunday should be a day that reflects reverence and a distinct Christian observance compared to the rest of the week. Observing how the Italian culture celebrates Sunday, one might notice people taking leisurely strolls, enjoying coffee or gelato, and spending quality time with family, which exemplifies the sacredness of the day. This approach prompts self-reflection on whether one's own Sunday practices honor the Sabbath, not just through attending mass but also in how the entire day is structured and enjoyed. The goal is to make Sunday a day of rest and spiritual renewal that sets a tone of reverence for the week ahead.
