Synopsis

To all who seek to be faithful to God:As God commanded the Israelites when He gave His Commandments to Moses, “Remember to keep holy the Sabbath.” Both Jews and Christians have learned the wisdom of being faithful to this command in the context of the culture in which we live today.While far too many Christians proclaim they are “too busy” to worship God each Sunday, there are other sincere people of faith who struggle to understand this Commandment beyond the simple obligation to attend Mass.In his book Keeping Holy the Lord’s Day Gabriel Meyer provides a profound reflection on the meaning of this Commandment and how a person’s life and that of family and community will be enriched if people rediscover and recommit themselves to keeping the Lord’s Day holy. While Mr. Meyer presents this material in a manner that is especially suitable for reflection by Catholics. Any person of faith will benefit from reading this work and thinking about how the principles that are expressed can find suitable application in their lives.Rather than being overcome by the pressures of our contemporary culture with its pressing demands, I commend this book to your reading and trust that you will find it both helpful and challenging as you seek to be faithful to God’s command to “keep holy the Sabbath.”
