Understanding the natural law Jesus healed the sick just as the Jews celebrated the Lord’s Day on the Sabbath (cf. John 5: 1-3.5-10). What did Christ mean by telling us that He had broken the Sabbath? In the Old Testament time, the faithfulness of the Habits’ sabbaths was so great that the Asides preferred to kill how they should break the Sabbath by taking up arms (cf. Mach 2: 32-38). Nowadays, the understanding of Saturday is completely different. Jesus opposes the formalist rigorism of Pharisaic teachers: “Saturday is for man, not man for the Sabbath” (Mt 2.27), and the duty of love takes precedence over the material observance of rest. For the Jews, the Lord’s day is celebrated on the Sabbath, but for Christians, it is Sunday. Sunday’s meaning is that man should devote some of his time, which is a gift from God amount for God’s cult. It may seem to us that the Conference of Bishops is mingling with our life and wants to show us and forbid us how to survive Sunday. Bishops only us they remind, especially believers, what God has put in us, and it is given to us as an integral part of life. It is the job of every believer to understand this divine purpose of Sunday rest and its survival. Sunday’s goal is for a person to gather mentally and physically, strengthen family ties and dedicate themselves to God. But the basis is a different look at legal and illegal work.<\/h2>\n
A man who is at work all week over papers should rest physically on Sunday, and the one who works all week physically has to rest mentally on Sunday. In addition to our private rest, we have to devote and help others, especially the sick, who need our love. Alone Jesus was touched by so much suffering and allowed the sick to touch him. \u201cHe took on our weaknesses and bore our sicknesses \u201d(Mt 8:17). In His compassion for all who suffer, he goes so far as to identify with them: I was sick, and you visited me \u201d(Mt 25:36). We should not think like Jews who worshiped feasts of custom and did only what the law showed them. These Jews did not carry love at all and preferred them was the law as the man himself. Let’s think about what is foremost for us in life, to reach the kingdom of heaven. Let us not cover our eyes if we have ours near our relatives or neighbors and need our help or presence. Let’s not act like that, as if we saw nothing, but let us shake our hand. When Jesus saw the sick, he was not afraid to heal them on Sunday as well, because, for him, the man was more important than material things of this world.<\/h2>\n
If we love our neighbors more than ourselves, God will never be ours reproach: “what ye did not do to one of you, neither did you do to me” Mt 25:40.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
