For most people, world wide, Saturday is a day for family, chores, shopping, and recreation...For some, it is the Sabbath day of Worship and prayer... Those who work a full week look forward to it for a chance to be with the family and get to their "To Do List." Sunday will be the day of REST ...of Body and Soul, with time for more refreshment than usual.. So the routine goes.
We might lose the realization that even in such routine we are growing in our faith...the constant giving and attention young children demand of their mothers is sanctifying and blessed, if we,even for only an instant, link it to the mothering Mary gave to Jesus...or the patience expended by Joseph to teach his young son the rudiments of carpentry.. Our lives, to be fully meaningful, must be rooted in this giving, this stretching of self. When washing the dishes, cutting the grass, repairing the porch seem mundane, necessary but "unholy"...may we remember that these are the daily tools of purification of heart and union with God.
