sunday

I have been reading a novel lately, a tale of priest and their adventures and misadventures with the people of GOd stumbling through their mission with courage and resolve.  In this tale of priest, I came across a passage that is written on the lips of a Monsignor: 

"People talk to each constantly about the most unimportant things.  The world usually sounds like a babbling jungle with the voices of men.  But seldom do they speak to each other of what is most important.  If they did so there would be much less sorrow in life and less sin and cruelty and misunderstanding."

Is this not why we gather on Sunday to keep the Lord's Day, so that we might learn of those things of most importance and having grown familiar then have the courage to speak of those things in our lives so that there might be less sorrow, less sin, less cruelty, less misunderstanding. 

The Lord's Day, Sunday, is essential to harmony and peace and talk that is not cheap.
