The Importance of Taking Days Off

Clerics, including bishops and priests, often struggle to take proper days off despite the demands of their vocation. Many parish priests manage to take some time off, but bishops frequently do not prioritize rest, leading to burnout and negative consequences for their mental health. The discussion highlights the importance of setting aside administrative tasks to allow for spiritual rejuvenation, not just personally but also as a model for others in the church. Overall, the emphasis is on the necessity of establishing a healthy work-life balance within the clerical community.
