For most of us, Sunday is the day we attend Mass, setting it aside as our Sabbath. However, once we step out of the church, we often find ourselves caught up in the same rush as any other day. Whether it's catching up on work, running errands, or tackling household chores, we rarely allow ourselves a true day of rest. Travel, shopping, and the endless to-do list can lead us to forget the essential purpose of the Sabbath. The commandment to keep the Sabbath day holy is not just about worship in the morning, but about dedicating the entire day to Him.
On episode #170, I spoke with Daniel Fitzpatrick about the significance of restoring the Lord's day. Here are some key questions and topics from our discussion:
Cultural Observations: What inspired Daniel to explore the relationship between the Sabbath and societal trends, particularly those he observed in New Orleans?
Historical and Literary Influence: How did the works of authors like Homer, Dante, and Evelyn Waugh shape his understanding of the Sabbath and influence the structure of his book?
Modern Challenges: In his book, Daniel discusses how modern society mirrors the Pharaohs' obsession with work and anxiety. What does he believe are the root causes of this shift?
And much more...
Tune in for an insightful conversation!
