"Blessed be he who has raised the great day of Sunday above all other days. The heavens and the earth, angels and men give themselves over to joy!" Father Peter talks about the Day of the Lord, Sunday, and the teaching of Christ that, “The Sabbath was made for man” (Mark 2:27).
Pope St. John Paul II, apostolic letter Dies Domini:
"Sunday is a day which is at the very heart of the Christian life." (7)
It is an "indelible expression of our relationship with God," (13)
and an “indispensable element of our Christian identity.” (30)
"Sharing in the Eucharist is the heart of Sunday, but the duty to keep Sunday holy cannot be reduced to this. [... In] the other moments of the day: family life, social relationships, moments of relaxation—the peace and joy of the Risen Lord [should] emerge in the ordinary events of life." (52)
"I would strongly urge everyone to rediscover Sunday: Do not be afraid to give your time to Christ!" (7)
